[visionlist] Assistant Professor of Cognitive Psychology (Perception) at UCSC

[Nicolas Davidenko]

Dear colleagues,

The Psychology Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz
(UCSC) invites applications for an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in
Cognitive Psychology with a focus on human perception, broadly defined. We
seek applicants whose research focuses on high-level aspects of perception,
such as: scene, object, and person perception; conscious versus unconscious
processing; perception in real-world and technology-mediated contexts (via
phones, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, or robots); the
integration of visual, auditory, or other sensory information; how
perception interacts with other cognitive processes such as attention,
memory, language, and decision-making; social influences on perception
(including face perception and the own-race bias), and neurodiversity in
perception (e.g. perception in misophonia, prosopagnosia, synesthesia, and
autism). Candidates are expected to conduct empirical research using
behavioral, neuroscientific, physiological, pharmacological, and/or
computational modeling approaches, teach at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels, and contribute to our Psychology and Cognitive Science
majors.

UC Santa Cruz values diversity, equity, and inclusion and is committed to
hiring faculty who will work to advance these values. UC Santa Cruz is a
Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an Asian American and Native
American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) with a high
proportion of first-generation students. We welcome candidates who
understand the barriers facing historically oppressed groups in higher
education (as evidenced by life experiences and educational background) and
who can clearly articulate participation in equity and diversity
advancement efforts with respect to teaching, mentoring, research, and
service towards building an equitable and scholarly environment. Activities
promoting equity and inclusion at UC Santa Cruz will be recognized as
important university service during the faculty promotion process. For more
information please refer to the APO Diversity Resources web page.

Applications submitted by Monday, October 14, 2024 will receive full
consideration. Please feel free to email Nicolas Davidenko (chair of the
search committee, ndaviden at ucsc.edu) with any questions about the position.
