The Department of Psychology in the College of Arts
and Science at Vanderbilt University invites applications for a tenured
associate professor position in the areas of cognition, cognitive neuroscience,
or visual neuroscience with a computational or AI focus, to start August 16,
2025. We particularly welcome applications from scientists developing
computational models that explain cognition or vision, exploring the intersection
of models of cognition or vision with models from AI, or developing novel
computational or AI approaches to understanding behavioral data and/or brain
data. Successful candidates will employ computational modeling, mathematical
modeling, AI methods, machine learning, and/or data science approaches in their
work, and be prepared to train students and teach courses in these approaches.
We seek an exceptional individual who has a strong record of creative,
methodologically and computationally rigorous, and conceptually driven
research, who has a track record of extramural funding, and who has
demonstrated effective teaching.Our department is a community of faculty with a
strong commitment to excellence in research and teaching in psychology and
neuroscience. Our 26 full-time faculty are organized into three overlapping
areas representing clinical science, cognition and cognitive neuroscience, and
neuroscience. Our faculty are internationally recognized for research in
cognition, cognitive neuroscience, and vision science, with particular
strengths in visual perception, visual cognition, attention, memory, cognitive
control, decision making, and related areas. We particularly welcome
applications from scientists whose research complements and extends our areas
of excellence.This position represents a joint hire between the
Department of Psychology and Vanderbilt’s newly announced College of Connected
Computing. This transformative new college is dedicated to computer science,
AI, data science, and to developing strong partnerships in computational areas
in allied disciplines like psychology and neuroscience. It is a uniquely
interdisciplinary college and will collaborate with all of Vanderbilt’s schools
and colleges to advance breakthrough discoveries and strengthen computing
education through a “computing for all” approach. This position represents one
of the first joint faculty appointments of a large number of anticipated
faculty hires in computational areas over the coming years. This joint position
offers unique opportunities to teach undergraduate and graduate courses of
interest not only to students in psychology and neuroscience but to a broad
spectrum of students from other computational disciplines. A search for a Dean
of the new college is underwayThe Department of Psychology has strong relations
with the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Peabody College,
hosting a joint PhD program in Psychological Sciences. We have strong relations
with the Vanderbilt Brain Institute and we are core participants in both
undergraduate and graduate interdisciplinary programs in Neuroscience. Our
faculty have affiliations with and capitalize on resources from the Vanderbilt
University Medical Center, the Academic Computing Center for Research &
Education, Vanderbilt Institute of Imaging Science, the Data Science Institute,
and the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development. For
information about the faculty, department, and interdisciplinary opportunities
