FACULTY SEARCHES: COGNITIVE SCIENCE AT UCSD

[Gedeon Deák]

Dear Colleagues:
Please see the ad below for two faculty positions (1 assistant; 1  
associate or full) at UCSD Cognitive Science. We are looking for  
applicants with developmental interests and research, but we are a  
very diverse department and do not have strong preconceptions about  
who the successful candidates will be. Thus, developmental  
psychologists with outstanding research records will be carefully  
considered, as will outstanding neuroscientists with developmental  
interests, computer modelers with developmental approaches, etc.
PLEASE post this ad widely and bring it to the attention of promising  
colleagues, students, post-docs, etc. We encourage applications and  
inquiries from all interested parties.
Thank you kindly,
Gedeon Deák



FACULTY POSITIONS
DEPARTMENT OF COGNITIVE SCIENCE

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO



	The Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California  
at San Diego has two faculty positions for outstanding developmental  
researchers. The Cognitive Science department at UCSD (http:// 
www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/) was the first of its kind in the world, and, as  
part of an exceptional scientific community, it remains a dominant  
influence in the field it helped to create.  The department is truly  
interdisciplinary, with a faculty whose interests span anthropology,  
computer science, human development, linguistics, neuroscience,  
philosophy, and psychology.



	1. Assistant Professor (tenure-track): The department is looking for  
a top-caliber junior researcher in any area(s) of cognitive science,  
with a focus on problems of human development. Applicants must have a  
Ph.D. (or ABD). A broad interdisciplinary perspective will be highly  
valued. Experience with multiple methodologies is preferred.

	2. Associate or Full Professor (with tenure): The department is  
looking for an outstanding senior researcher in any area(s) of  
cognitive science, with a focus on problems of human development. The  
position will also include the Directorship of the UCSD Center for  
Human Development (http://chd.ucsd.edu/). The Center for Human  
Development is an interdisciplinary research unit with close ties to  
Cognitive Science, Psychology, and other departments at UCSD.  Its  
principal mission is to foster strong cross-disciplinary approaches  
to the study of human development, broadly defined. Applicants with a  
track record of exemplary research with an impact in multiple  
disciplines are preferred.


	Salary for each position will be commensurate with the experience of  
the successful applicant and based on the UC pay scale. Both  
positions begin July 1, 2007.



	Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Applicants are invited  
to provide comments about their leadership activities and  
contributions to diversity in education and scholarship. The  
University of California, San Diego is an affirmative action/equal  
opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to  
excellence through diversity. Review of applications will begin  
January 15, 2007 and will continue until each position is filled.



	Candidates should submit, via our online application, a letter of  
intent describing their background and interests, a current  
curriculum vita, reprints of up to four representative publications,  
and a list of at least three references (names, titles, addresses,  
and email addresses). To apply, see “Faculty Positions” at http:// 
www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/.
