Job Title: Instructional Professor & Program Coordinator, Major/Minor in Cognitive Science
Job Rank: Rank Open

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science 


Description:

The Humanities Collegiate Division is accepting applications for an
Instructional Professor (open rank) and Program Coordinator who will manage
the major/minor in Cognitive Science and teach a maximum of four courses a
year in that curriculum (course load dependent on additional duties). This is
a full-time position with an initial term of two to five years, depending on
rank, to start September 1, 2023.

In consultation with the Faculty Director of the major/minor in Cognitive
Science, the Program Coordinator will be responsible for planning, staffing,
and coordinating all Cognitive Science courses. Teaching is central to this
position, and we seek candidates proven to be highly effective teachers in
Cognitive Science and/or at least one of its core disciplines: Computer
Science, Psychology, Philosophy, Linguistics or Neuroscience. Possible course
offerings will include the foundational courses for the major, “Mind, Brain
and Meaning” and “Cognitive Models,” as well as other courses based around the
expertise and interests of the individual hired into this position. In
conjunction with the Faculty Director, the Program Coordinator will also
develop the profile and mission of the major/minor in Cognitive Science. The
Program Coordinator will help to enable extracurricular programs in Cognitive
Science at the University more broadly, to develop on-campus programming, and
to explore opportunities for student research and career pathways. Course
assignments and other duties of the Program Coordinator will be determined
annually by the Faculty Director of the Cognitive Science major/minor.

Minimum qualifications are a MA/MS or PhD in Cognitive Science or a related
field, and experience teaching at the university or post-secondary level.
Experience in program development and/or coordination preferred.

Applicants should submit their applications through the University of
Chicago’s Interfolio website, (see link below) and upload a current curriculum
vitae; the names and contact information [email, regular mail, and telephone]
for three references whose letters of recommendation may be solicited; a cover
letter of no more than three pages that addresses professional experience,
inclusive of previous administrative and teaching experience, and that offers
a cohesive vision for the undergraduate study of Cognitive Science; and a
teaching portfolio containing syllabi from previous courses, student
evaluations (if available), examples of assignments, and a teaching statement.

Applications are due February 28, 2023. Only complete applications will be
reviewed. The position is contingent upon budgetary approval. 

This position will be part of the Service Employees International Union.

Please contact Chris Kennedy (ck at uchicago.edu) with any questions.

All University departments and institutes are charged with building a faculty
from a diversity of backgrounds and with diverse viewpoints; with cultivating
an inclusive community that values freedom of expression; and with welcoming
and supporting all their members.

We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community
that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse
perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and
stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange. The University’s
