Tenure-track Position in Cognitive Science
The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
invites applications for an anticipated tenure-track position at the
rank of Assistant Professor beginning in Fall 2006 or possibly (for
the right candidate) Spring 2007. We are seeking candidates who
combine computational, mathematical, and/or logic-based modeling
informed by experimental research in the areas of perception and
action (e.g., motor control, vision, attention), interactive behavior
(e.g., integrated models of cognitive systems), or high-level
cognition (e.g., skill acquisition, decision making, reasoning). The
candidate's interest can be in basic and/or applied theory-based
research. Interests in areas such as robotics or high-level
computational neuroscience will be considered a strength. However, all
disciplines within cognitive science are potential sources of
candidates. All candidates are expected to have a strong potential for
external funding.
The Cognitive Science Department at Rensselaer is among the world's
newest dedicated cognitive science departments, specializing in
computational cognitive modeling, perception/action, learning and
reasoning (human and machine), and cognitive engineering. The
department's primary mission is to carry out seminal basic research
and to develop engineering applications within cognitive science.
This effort requires the continued growth of its new,
research-oriented doctoral program in cognitive science. Department
faculty have excellent ties with faculty in Computer Science,
Engineering, and Decision Sciences. Women and minorities are
especially encouraged to apply. Send curriculum vitae, reprints and
preprints of publications, a 1-to-2 page statement of research, a
1-page statement of teaching interests, and three letters of reference
to: Search Committee, c/o Heather Hewitt, Cognitive Science
Department, Carnegie Building, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 110
8th Street, Troy, NY 12180. (Direct queries via email to Prof. Wayne
D. Gray, grayw@rpi.edu, Chair of the Search Committee.) Applications
will be reviewed beginning December 1st and continuing until the
position is filled.
