Description:

The Cognitive Science program at Rice University (Houston, Texas) is now
accepting applications for a lecturer position to begin July 1, 2020. The
candidate should have a terminal degree in Cognitive Science or a related
field (e.g., Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Computer
Science) by the start of the appointment as well as research expertise that
brings an interdisciplinary approach to theoretical questions about cognition.
This is a one -year appointment with strong possibility of renewal contingent
on performance. Rice University has a promotable teaching professor track for
those with the promise and commitment to become pedagogical leaders in their
discipline, and the successful applicant could eventually be eligible for that
track.

The successful applicant will teach five undergraduate courses a year, split
across the Fall and Spring semesters. The course load includes a large
introductory course on topics in cognitive psychology, a newly developed
course specifically for Cognitive Science majors that introduces students to
the diversity of methods used by cognitive scientists to address questions
about how the mind works, and an upper level class in the area of the
lecturer’s expertise. S/he will also be expected to contribute to the
mentoring of undergraduate students in the Cognitive’ Science Program.

The Cognitive Science program at Rice is an interdisciplinary undergraduate
major, administered through the School of Social Sciences, which requires
students to do course work in computer science, linguistics, philosophy,
psychology, and neuroscience. The program has existed for over thirty years,
but in recent years has seen a surge in popularity making it one of the most
popular majors on campus. The Cognitive Science program engages faculty from
across the university, as well as faculty at different institutions in the
Texas Medical Center, creating ample opportunities for interdisciplinary
endeavors centered on cognitive science questions. More information about the
program is available on our website: https://cogsci.rice.edu

The deadline for receipt of applications is April 10, 2020. PhD is required by
time of appointment. Application materials include: (1) cover letter, (2) CV,
(3) teaching statement, (4) sample of written work, (5) evidence of teaching
effectiveness and (6) three letters of recommendation.
