Tenured Associate/Full Professor Position

The Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University seeks candidates for a tenured / tenure-track faculty position in language using approaches such as theoretical linguistics, language development/acquisition, fieldwork, psycholinguistics, and neurobiology of language. The department seeks candidates with cutting-edge research programs in any area of linguistic investigation (including morphology, phonetics, phonology, pragmatics, prosody, semantics, sign/speech perception, syntax, or typology). Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring, to collaboration with members of the department and related departments or centers (Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Philosophy, and Psychological & Brain Sciences), and to engagement with university-wide initiatives in AI and Neuroscience.

We anticipate hiring at the Associate Professor or Professor rank, but will also consider exceptional candidates at the Assistant Professor stage, especially those nearing completion of their tenure review. All appointees at the Associate and Full Professor level are expected to be pre-eminent experts in their field. All candidates should be committed to both research and teaching excellence. All appointees are expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate level.

Applications will be considered until the position is filled. Priorities will be given to applications received by January 15, 2026.
