Job description

The Department of Cognitive and Psychological Sciences (CoPsy) at Brown University invites applications for a tenured Associate or Full Professor position beginning July 1, 2027. Candidates' research must focus on one or more of the following research themes: (1) the interface between artificial intelligence and human cognition, (2) collective cognition and behavior, (3) mechanisms of mental and brain health. We are seeking candidates whose primary focus is on basic, computational, or experimental science rather than clinical intervention, assessment, or service delivery. Successful candidates will have established an externally funded, internationally recognized research program, have an interest in interacting with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and academic backgrounds, and have demonstrated effective instruction and advising to a diverse group of graduate and undergraduate students.

The CoPsy department has a highly interdisciplinary research environment in the study of mind, brain, and behavior and offers undergraduate curricular programs in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Behavioral Decision Sciences. The Department is located in the heart of campus and is associated with many Centers and Initiatives at the University, including the Carney Institute for Brain Science, the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, the Data Science Initiative, and the NSF AI Research Institute on Interaction for AI Assistants (ARIA).

The CoPSy department is a diverse and inclusive academic community. Candidates should address in their cover letter how they would contribute to the research and/or teaching missions of this diverse and inclusive community.
