Waterloo campus, start date July 1 2026
The successful candidate will have a specialization in Cognitive Neuroscience and a strong record of research excellence. Their research program should investigate the neural basis of human cognition, and may involve behavioural, neuroimaging, neurophysiological, computational, or multimethod approaches.
We welcome applicants from all areas of Cognitive Neuroscience. The department has established strengths in language and communication, visual attention and perception, and sensory processing across typical and atypical development. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research would create new synergies with this work or broaden the department’s expertise into complementary areas. Candidates with expertise in computational modelling or other computational approaches are especially encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to teaching at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels, and to supervising graduate students in the MSc and PhD programs. A strong publication record and clear potential for securing Tri-Council or other external funding are required. Experience teaching diverse student populations is an asset. The successful candidate is also expected to contribute to service within the University and broader academic community.
Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). Applicants are encouraged to highlight EDI-related contributions in teaching, mentoring, service, lived experience, and/or scholarship.
