Job Title: Three Open Rank Cognitive Science Faculty Positions
Job Rank: Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; General Linguistics; perception of
spoken or signed language

Description:

As part of a strategic investment for a transformative expansion of
the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University’s Krieger School of Arts
and Sciences, the Department of Cognitive Science seeks candidates for
three open-rank, tenure-track/tenured faculty positions, in the
following areas: 1) high-level vision; 2) interaction of language and
vision; and 3) language. These searches reflect the University’s
commitment to faculty growth in Cognitive Science that contributes to
large-scale, university-wide investment and initiatives in Data
Science/AI and Neuroscience.

For the high-level vision position, we are seeking candidates with
research programs addressing central topics in higher vision (examples
include, but are not limited to, object, face, and scene recognition,
perception of actions and social interactions, and visual inference).
Candidates for the language/vision interaction position should have
research programs addressing empirical and theoretical issues at the
language/vision interface, such as research on visual languages
(written and sign languages), acquisition and evolution of language
and its relationship to spatial perception and cognition, and the
mapping between linguistic elements and perceptual representations of
the world, including issues of amodal representation. Candidates for
the language position should have research programs that address
central topics in the perception of spoken or signed language (e.g.,
robustness to variation and adaptation, engagement with phonetic or
phonological representations, acquisition of speech/sign perception in
first or second languages).

Candidates should have exceptionally strong records of research that
make substantive contact with cognitive theory and integrate multiple
approaches. Candidates are preferred whose research enhances and/or
extends existing strengths in the department, including computational
work, cognitive neuroscience, linguistic theory, cognitive
neuropsychology, and development. Candidates should demonstrate a
strong commitment to furthering diversity and inclusion, effective
teaching and mentoring at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and
collaboration in a highly interdisciplinary cognitive science
department that has extensive interactions with related departments,
including Computer Science, Psychological and Brain Science,
Neuroscience, and Neurology.

The expected academic base salary range for these positions is:
$110,000 – 316,000. The referenced salary range is based on Johns
Hopkins University's good faith belief at the time of posting. The
actual compensation offered to the selected candidate may vary and
will be based on factors including, but not limited to, the experience
and qualifications of the selected candidate – e.g., years in rank,
training, field, discipline, other work experience, and other similar
factors; geographic location; internal equity; external market
conditions; and other factors as reasonably determined by the
University.

The Johns Hopkins University is an Affirmative Action/Equal
Opportunity Employer of women, minorities, protected veterans and
individuals with disabilities and encourages applications from these
and other protected group members. Consistent with the University’s
goals of achieving excellence in all areas, we will assess the
comprehensive qualifications of each applicant.
