<h3>FACULTY POSITION</h3>
                        
                        <p>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.</p>
                        
                        <p>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.</p>
                        
                        <p>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: <a href="https://www.cogsci.uci.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.cogsci.uci.edu/</a>.</p>
                        
                        <p>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.</p>
