</font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></span>The Johns Hopkins University seeks an internationally recognized leader as a tenured, endowed <span>Bloomberg</span> Distinguished Professor in the area of <b>computational cognitive science</b>.
We seek an individual whose research agenda in computation and
cognition will further bring together the University’s Whiting School of
Engineering and Krieger School of Arts & Sciences through their
shared interests in computational modeling and human cognition. This
leader will pioneer new directions, interact with existing collaborative
research efforts, and help guide additional faculty growth in this
major intellectual area. This position is one of 50 new <span>Bloomberg</span>
Distinguished Professorships, designated for outstanding scholars to
carry out interdisciplinary research and teaching in areas identified
for significant growth at the University.<br>
<br>New advances in computational modeling and machine learning, along
with new sources of behavioral data, are opening up opportunities to
build more complete and accurate models of intelligent behavior. The
Johns Hopkins initiative in the <a href="http://scienceoflearning.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">Science of Learning</a>
(SoL) is a focus of the University's current capital campaign. It seeks
to bring together the university’s strengths in machine learning,
cognitive science, neuroscience, education, and domain-specific areas
such as language and vision, in order to understand the nature of
learning at all levels of scientific inquiry (from synaptic changes to
educational strategies). This search in computational cognitive science
is one of several SoL-related searches that will recruit new <span>Bloomberg</span>
Distinguished Professors and other faculty to drive progress on neural,
cognitive, and computational approaches to learning. These professors
will also benefit from the Whiting School of Engineering’s strategic
initiative in Leveraging Data to Knowledge.<br>
<br><span>Bloomberg</span> Distinguished Professors will hold
formal tenured appointments in departments of two or more schools of
the university—in this case, in the <a href="http://www.cs.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">Department of Computer Science</a> and the <a href="http://cogsci.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">Department of Cognitive Science</a>.
They will participate fully in the research, teaching, and service
missions of their departments, including undergraduate and graduate
education. For this position, the ideal candidate will have an
international reputation based on research and teaching accomplishments
that involve both computational modeling and human data. The candidate
will be suitable for a tenured appointment at Johns Hopkins University.<br>
<br>The appointee will enjoy many opportunities to engage with other
world-class units in the Science of Learning initiative, including the <a href="http://www.clsp.jhu.edu" target="_blank">Center for Language and Speech Processing</a>, the <a href="http://www.cis.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">Center for Imaging Science</a>, the <a href="http://ml.jhu.edu" target="_blank">Machine Learning Group</a>, the <a href="http://www.jhuvisionsciencesgroup.org/" target="_blank">Vision Sciences Group</a>, the <a href="http://hltcoe.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">Center of Excellence in Human Language Technology</a>, the <a href="http://pbs.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">Psychological and Brain Sciences Department</a>, the <a href="http://education.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">School of Education</a>, and the renowned Hopkins neuroscience community that includes the <a href="http://krieger.jhu.edu/mbi" target="_blank">Mind/Brain Institute</a> and the School of Medicine’s <a href="http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neurology_neurosurgery/" target="_blank">Department of Neurology.</a><br>
<br>Applicants should send their Curriculum Vitae (ideally including links to publications) as a single PDF file to <a href="mailto:compcogsci-bdp-search@jhu.edu" target="_blank">compcogsci-bdp-search@jhu.edu</a>.
Applications will be reviewed beginning <u>April 30, 2014</u> although later
applications may be considered. Additional information is available at <a href="http://cs.jhu.edu/BDP" target="_blank">http://cs.jhu.edu/BDP</a>.
The Johns Hopkins University is committed to enhancing the diversity of
its faculty, strongly encourages applications from women and
minorities, and is an EEO/AA employer.<br></div></div>
