Faculty Position Available
The Department of Cognitive Science in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education at Johns Hopkins University seek a faculty candidate, at any level, with an exceptional record of conducting and directing research in the area of the University's new Science of Learning initiative. Research approaches and content areas of particular interest include learning, development, and plasticity in the areas of language, visual or speech perception, and spatial representation. The ideal candidate should carry out research that makes substantive contact with theory, uses experimental, developmental, linguistic, neuroscience, and/or computational approaches, and has implications for application within the broad field of learning. The appointment will be joint between the Cognitive Science Department and the School of Education, with the expectation of responsibilities in both, but will have tenure-track and/or tenured status within the Cognitive Science Department. Candidates should be strongly interdisciplinary, prepared to carry out effective teaching, student supervision, and collaboration in a formally-oriented, highly interdisciplinary Cognitive Science department, and eager to take advantage of collaborations with the School of Education and its connection to diverse student populations in area public and private schools. Candidates should be capable of making significant contributions to the Science of Learning initiative involving the Cognitive Science Department, the School of Education, and other units; further faculty growth in this area is anticipated. The Cognitive Science Department and the School of Education have a strong commitment to achieving diversity among faculty and staff. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from members of underrepresented groups and strongly encourage women and persons of color to apply for this position.
Applications are due by November 1, 2012.
Please send cover letter, CV, research statement, and three letters of recommendation.
Please send electronic submissions only.
