University or Organization: The Johns Hopkins University 
Department: Department of Cognitive Science
Job Location: Maryland, USA 
Web Address: http://cogsci.jhu.edu
Job Rank: Faculty Position, Any Level  

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Science of Learning


Description:

The Department of Cognitive Science in the Krieger School of Arts and 
Sciences and the School of Education at Johns Hopkins University seek a 
faculty candidate, at any level, with an exceptional record of conducting and 
directing research in the broad area of the Science of Learning. The 
appointment will be joint between these two units, with the expectation of 
responsibilities in both, but will have tenure-track and/or tenured status 
within the Cognitive Science Department. Research approaches and 
content areas that are of particular interest include plasticity, learning, and 
development in the areas of language, visual or speech perception or 
spatial representation. The ideal candidate should carry out research that 
makes substantive contact with theory, uses experimental, developmental, 
neuroscience and/or computational approaches, and has implications for 
application within the broad field of learning. Candidates should be strongly 
interdisciplinary, prepared to carry out effective teaching, student 
supervision, and collaboration in a formally-oriented, highly interdisciplinary 
Cognitive Science department, and eager to take advantage of 
collaborations with the School of Education and its connection to diverse 
student populations in area public and private schools. Candidates should 
be capable of making significant contributions to a new research initiative in 
the Science of Learning involving the Cognitive Science Department, the 
School of Education, and other units; further faculty growth in this area is 
anticipated. The Cognitive Science Department and the School of 
Education have a strong commitment to achieving diversity among faculty 
and staff. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from 
members of underrepresented groups and strongly encourage women and 
persons of color to apply for this position. Applications are due by January 
15, 2012.
 
Please send cover letter, CV, research statement, and three letters of 
recommendation. Please send electronic submissions only to 
search at cogsci.jhu.edu.
 
Johns Hopkins University actively encourages interest from minorities and 
women. The Johns Hopkins University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative 
Action employer, Minorities, women, Vietnam-era veterans, disabled 
veterans and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
