[visionlist] Assistant Professor position at UC Irvine

[Zygmunt Pizlo]

 FACULTY POSITION

The Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California,
Irvine (UCI) seeks an innovative researcher for a tenure-track assistant
professor position with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2026.

We seek a researcher whose work combines the following two elements. First,
the research is empirical and addresses substantive questions in human
cognition (e.g., perception, memory, decision making). Second, the lens of
analysis is informed by computational modeling including cognitive
modeling, computational neuroscience or data science. We are particularly
interested in candidates whose research uses behavioral experiments and AI
approaches. This can include: (1) using AI as a model of human cognition to
advance cognitive theory; (2) using cognitive tools and theories to
scientifically understand neural networks; and (3) empirical work on
human-AI interaction. AI models can include deep neural networks of vision
or language, reinforcement learning systems, or others. UCI offers strong
interdisciplinary collaborations across cognitive science, neuroscience,
computer science, statistics, and engineering and is well-positioned to
support research in areas such as robotics, neuroscience, and human-AI
interaction.

The successful candidate will build an independent research program while
contributing to teaching, mentoring, and service. Learn more about our
department and the university at: https://www.cogsci.uci.edu/.

For full consideration, applications must be completed by November 15,
2025. Priority will be given to applications received by this date, but we
will continue reviewing qualified candidates until the position is filled.
