Center for Mind and Morality, University of Toronto
Dr. Paul Bloom is looking for a new postdoctoral fellow to join their lab (Center for Mind and Morality) at the University of Toronto, starting Summer or Fall of 2025. The position is supported by the Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize and will focus on research in moral and social cognition in children and adults. The position is for two years, with the possibility of renewal for a subsequent year.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Science, or a related field. Candidates should be creative, independent, and deeply interested in questions bearing on morality and social cognition. I have some preference for candidates with developmental interests, but this is not a deal-breaker. (To get a good sense of my own interests, please check paulbloom.net)
The University of Toronto has a terrific group of faculty and students in Psychology and related disciplines who study morality, social cognition, and development. It’s a wonderful intellectual community with many possibilities for collaboration. And Toronto itself is one of the finest cities in the world.
All qualified candidates are invited to submit the following application materials to paul.bloom@utoronto.ca
- Curriculum vitae
- A1–2-page cover letter describing your experience, qualifications, and interests
- Up to two samples of previously published work
- Names of at least two references (Reference letters will be requested from short-listed applicants)
An initial review of applications will occur on January 15, 2025; candidates should submit by this deadline to receive full consideration. The position will remain open until filled.
The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from racialized persons/persons of colour, women, Indigenous / Aboriginal People of North America, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ persons, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
