Description:

Job Summary: 
The Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science in the College of Literature,
Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan seeks applicants for a new
full-time (100%) academic year Lecturer position. The position will start as
early as January 1, 2019, but not later than September 1, 2019, pending final
authorization. This is a non-tenure track position. The initial appointment
will be for three academic years, contingent upon satisfactory performance,
need and available funding. The Institute expects that, for the suitable
candidate, this will be a long-term position extending beyond the initial
appointment. 

Responsibilities:
The new Lecturer appointed in the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science
will help support the instructional and administrative demands of the
Cognitive Science major by:
- Teaching the gateway course Introduction to Cognitive Science (COGSCI200) at
least once per year; 
- Providing additional upper division course offerings in at least one of the
four tracks of the undergraduate major (Computation and Cognition, Decision
and Cognition, Language and Cognition, or Philosophy and Cognition); and 
- Providing administrative oversight of advising and student enrichment
activities.   

Instructional duties:
The position requires teaching three courses per year. At least one course
will be Introduction to Cognitive Science, the interdisciplinary gateway
course for the Cognitive Science major (COGSCI200), either alone or as
co-teacher with one other existing faculty. The other two courses will be
upper-level undergraduate offerings that help to meet curricular needs in one
or more of the four tracks of the major.  

Administrative duties:
The position involves approximately 13–16 hours per week of administrative
activities. More specifically, these activities will encompass at least the
following four areas of responsibility: 
- Oversight of peer academic advising; 
- Oversight of the creation and execution of student-enrichment activities
focused on academic, intellectual, and career development;
- Some academic and career advising; and 
- Oversight of the communication and administration of Institute-funded
opportunities for cognitive science majors.   

Required Qualifications: 
We expect that a successful applicant will hold a PhD in Cognitive Science or
one of the related core disciplines (e.g. Computer Science, Linguistics,
Psychology, Philosophy). The applicant must have interdisciplinary teaching
interests and experience, evidenced by interests and experience that span at
least two of the core disciplines. The applicant must also be capable of
contributing to the upper division offerings in one or more of the four tracks
of the Cognitive Science major.

To Apply: 
Candidates should submit a single attachment (in PDF format) to the University
of Michigan posting via the application link provided below with the following
required materials:
- Letter of Application (no more than two pages)
- Curriculum Vitae
- Teaching Statement (no more than three pages; includes teaching philosophy
and experience)
- Evidence of Teaching Excellence
- Two sample syllabi (from courses previously taught)
- Names and contact information of three recommenders who can comment on the
applicant’s qualifications for this position. Letters are not required in the
initial application submission stage.

Application Deadline:
The application deadline for full consideration is October 30, 2018. We hope
to extend an offer not later than, if not before, December 15, 2018.



Application Deadline:  (Open until filled)
