The Department of Psychology’s Brain and Cognitive Science area within
the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences at the University
of Southern California invites applications for a tenure-track
Assistant Professor position. We are particularly interested in
candidates with a computational approach to language research.

The study of language and higher order cognition is undergoing rapid
transformation, fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence,
especially large language models, which are revolutionizing cognitive
science. We seek applicants whose research program utilizes
computational methods to explore the multifaceted nature of human
language processing, encompassing its neural, physical, behavioral,
and social dimensions, and potentially contributes to advancements in
AI and natural language processing.

The successful candidate will establish strong connections with other
computational faculty within the Brain and Cognitive Sciences area and
play an integral role in the newly founded Center for Computational
Language Sciences.

The appointment is expected to begin in August 2025. Candidates must
have completed their Ph.D. and demonstrate an excellent doctoral
and/or post-doctoral record that includes a strong track record of
publications and potential to secure extramural funding. The
department aims to foster a diverse intellectual community and
strongly encourages applications from all underrepresented groups.

Applicants should submit a cover letter; current CV; representative
publications; contact information for three letters of reference; and
separate statements describing their research, teaching, and a service
statement that highlights contributions to equity, diversity, and
inclusion. In order to be considered for this position, all candidates
must apply via the "Apply" link at the top or bottom of this page.

For questions related to the search, please contact Morteza Dehghani
mdehghan at usc.edu. We encourage candidates to apply by October 15th for
full consideration. More information about the program at USC can be
found at the following website:  https://dornsife.usc.edu/psyc/.

The annual base salary range for this position is $109,250 - $124,070.
When extending an offer of employment, the University of Southern
California considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope
and responsibilities of the position, the candidate’s work experience,
education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, federal, state
and local laws, contractual stipulations, grant funding, as well as
external market and organizational considerations.

USC is an equal-opportunity educator and employer, proudly pluralistic
and firmly committed to providing equal opportunity for outstanding
