Subject: [COGDEVSOC] Faculty opening at Vanderbilt for Assistant Professor
To: "cogdevsoc@lists.cogdevsoc.org" <cogdevsoc@lists.cogdevsoc.org>


  The Vanderbilt University Department of Psychology and Human Development
is seeking an outstanding psychologist for a tenure-track position at the
assistant professor rank in the area of *COGNITIVE SCIENCE OF LEARNING AND
DEVELOPMENT (CSLD)*. The department is composed of internationally
recognized scholars who work to increase the understanding and application
of basic psychological processes related to the learning and development of
cognition, behavior, and emotion in natural contexts. CSLD is a new focus
area combining strengths in cognitive science, developmental science, and
cognitive neuroscience. We seek candidates whose research addresses common
themes in our department through interdisciplinary research focused on
basic cognitive processes that have implications for learning in formal or
informal settings or for understanding cognitive change in ecological
context. Candidates whose research focuses on learning processes,
conceptual change, educational psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and/or
technological supports for learning will receive special consideration. The
CSLD area consists of 8-10 full-time faculty whose strengths are
complemented by professors in other units in the university, including the
Department of Psychology, Educational Neuroscience, Special Education, and
Teaching & Learning.

Primary responsibilities of this faculty position include establishing an
active program of research, teaching and mentoring undergraduate and
graduate students, and service to the department, university, and the
field. We especially encourage applications from underrepresented
minorities.

For information about the faculty, department, and interdisciplinary
opportunities, see http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/departments/psych/index.php
.

Applicants should send a brief cover letter, curriculum vitae, copies of up
to 3 representative publications, and a document describing research and
teaching interests to CSLDsearch@vanderbilt.edu
<CSLsearch@vanderbilt.edu>. Three
letters of reference should also be sent to this email address with the
applicant’s last name and the word “recommendation” in the subject line, or
to the following address:

filled. Vanderbilt University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity
employer.
