Department of Psychology, University of Maryland
The Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in computational psychology, computational cognitive science, or computational neuroscience. We seek individuals with expertise in mathematical or computational approaches to theory development and/or computational or mathematical approaches to modeling large complex data sets, using techniques such as advanced Bayesian methods, artificial neural networks, deep learning algorithms, predictive classifiers, social network analysis, machine learning, large language models, or other high-dimensional models necessary for addressing fundamental questions related to brain, behavior, social systems, and/or artificial intelligence (AI).
Areas of emphasis are open, though we are particularly interested in candidates who can contribute to fundamental research in Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or AI; teach courses in computational or mathematical modeling of brain and behavior; and collaborate with a campus wide community of scholars in the Department of Psychology, College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, University of Maryland’s Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS), the Program in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, Maryland Language Science Center (MLSC), and/or the Brain and Behavior Institute (BBI).
