[visionlist] Open rank position in cognitive neuroscience at University of Utah

[Jeanine K Stefanucci]

Hello-
We are hiring at the University of Utah in cognitive neuroscience. We have two positions, and the ad below is for an open rank position. Please share widely and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this position.

Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Utah. The Department of Psychology at the University of Utah invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions in cognitive neuroscience. This advertised position is for an open rank tenure-track faculty member. We welcome applications from any area of human cognitive neuroscience (including but not limited to attention, memory, emotion, executive functioning, perception, language, decision-making, and reasoning) with a strong theory-based research program. We especially welcome applicants who conduct research in visual cognition (e.g., visual attention, visual working memory) in both laboratory and applied settings. Candidates who can speak to the real-world impact of the processes they study are particularly well suited to the applied cognition focus of faculty already in the area. Applications will be considered from those with diverse domains of methodological expertise (e.g., EEG, neuromodulation, computational modeling, fMRI, etc.), but we especially welcome those that can build on and extend our existing expertise in cognitive electrophysiology. Candidates should have an excellent and sustained record of research with a demonstrated ability to generate extramural funding.


The Department of Psychology also values interdisciplinary approaches to research and training, and strongly encourages collaboration across four traditional programs (Developmental, Clinical, Cognition and Neural Sciences, and Social). In addition to a doctoral program in cognition and neural science, the University of Utah has an interdepartmental neuroscience graduate program: http://neuroscience.med.utah.edu. The department also has an undergraduate certificate program in Human Factors: https://psych.utah.edu/human-factors/index.php. An undergraduate program in neuroscience is being developed and the incoming faculty member would be expected to contribute to the direction of the program with other participating departments. The department promotes multidisciplinary collaboration outside of the Department of Psychology with active ties to the Consortium for Families and Health Research, the School of Computing, Bioengineering, the Business School, the College of Education, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Radiology, the Digital Health Initiative, the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI), the Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI), the Behavioral Health Innovation and Dissemination Center (BHIDC), the Utah Network for LGBTQ Thriving (ThriveNet), and the Salt Lake Veterans Administration Medical Center.
The University of Utah values candidates who have experience working in settings with students, staff, faculty and patients from diverse backgrounds and possess a strong commitment to improving access to higher education, employment opportunities, and quality healthcare for historically underrepresented groups. All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply, including individuals from historically underrepresented groups, such as minorities, women, qualified persons with disabilities and protected veterans. Veterans’ preference is extended to qualified applicants, upon request and consistent with University policy and Utah state law. Upon request, reasonable accommodations in the application process will be provided to individuals with disabilities. To inquire about the University’s hiring policies or to request disability accommodation, please contact: Director, Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, 201 S. Presidents Circle, Rm 135, (801) 581-8365.

The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. With an enrollment of 31,000 students (and growing), it is the flagship university for the state of Utah. The university administration provides strong support for faculty research and teaching in the Psychology Department. Please submit statements of research and teaching interests, a curriculum vitae, three representative reprints or preprints of publications, and contact information for three individuals who will provide letters of recommendation. Applications should be submitted at: https://utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/168161.  Review of applications will begin October 1, 2024 and will continue until the position is filled.
