Job Title: Bloomberg Distinguished Professorship in Computational Cognitive Science
Job Rank: Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics 

Description:

The Johns Hopkins University seeks an internationally recognized leader as a tenured, endowed Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the area of computational cognitive science. 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 Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships, designated for outstanding scholars to carry out interdisciplinary research and teaching in areas identified for significant growth at the University.

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 Science of Learning (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 Bloomberg 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.

Bloomberg Distinguished Professors will hold formal tenured appointments in departments of two or more schools of the university—in this case, in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Cognitive Science. 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.

The appointee will enjoy many opportunities to engage with other world-class units in the Science of Learning initiative, including the Center for Language and Speech Processing, the Center for Imaging Science, the Machine Learning Group, the Vision Sciences Group, the Center of Excellence in Human Language Technology, the Psychological and Brain Sciences Department, the School of Education, and the renowned Hopkins neuroscience community that includes the Mind/Brain Institute and the School of Medicine’s Department of Neurology. 

Applicants should send their Curriculum Vitae (ideally including links to publications) as a single PDF file to the application email below. Applications will be reviewed beginning April 30, 2014 although later applications may be considered.

Additional information is available at the department URL. The Johns Hopkins University is committed to enhancing the diversity of its faculty.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
