Tenure-Track Position in Cognitive Neuroscience

Department of Psychology, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

The Department of Psychology at Queen’s University invites applications for a faculty position in Cognitive Neuroscience at the rank of Assistant (tenure-track) or Associate (tenured) Professor, although the rank of Professor will be considered under exceptional circumstances. The preferred starting date is July 1, 2023.

Candidates should provide evidence that they can develop a high-quality, innovative research program that uses computational approaches such as, but not limited to, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning for the study of cognitive neuroscience. Strong consideration will be given to candidates that can bridge complex analytic approaches with existing strengths in decision-making, memory, executive control, attentional control, social behaviour, gender and sexuality, stress, scene perception, spontaneous thought, and motor control, and complement the rich community of fMRI researchers within the Psychology Department, the Centre for Neuroscience Studies (neuroscience.queensu.ca), and the Queen’s Biological Communication Centre (queensu.ca/psychology/queens-biological-communication-centre). Outstanding candidates in related Cognitive Neuroscience research areas will also be considered. Candidates should further provide evidence that they possess a strong vision for, and can effectively teach Cognitive Neuroscience.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Academic staff at Queen’s University are governed by a Collective Agreement between the University and the Queen’s University Faculty Association (QUFA), which is posted at https://www.queensu.ca/facultyrelations/qufa/collective-agreements-lous-... and at http://www.qufa.ca.

Prior to May 1, 2022, the University required all students, faculty, staff, and visitors (including contractors) to declare their COVID-19 vaccination status and provide proof that they were fully vaccinated or had an approved accommodation to engage in in-person University activities. These requirements were suspended effective May 1, 2022, but the University may reinstate them at any point.

Queen’s University and the Department of Psychology aim to hire faculty who show evidence of involvement with Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) (https://www.queensu.ca/psychology/resources/edi-committee) (https://www.queensu.ca/universityrelations/equity). Applicants should provide a Statement of Contribution to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion with their application. This should describe the applicant’s past and present involvements with EDI change efforts and/or connection with equity-deserving groups, as well as their plans for promoting EDI in their careers as researchers, educators, and/or community members. It should also convey how the applicant sees these and other commitments continuing at Queen’s, or ways of initiating new EDI approaches. The statement can focus on teaching, research, and/or service. http://neuroscience.queensu.ca/ https://www.queensu.ca/psychology/queens-biological-communication-centre https://www.queensu.ca/facultyrelations/qufa/collective-agreements-lous-moas http://www.qufa.ca/ https://www.queensu.ca/facultyrelations/qufa/collective-agreements-lous-moas http://www.qufa.ca/ https://www.queensu.ca/universityrelations/equity

Applicants are invited to connect their contributions to these established and emerging opportunities, and/or other communities at Queen’s University, in Kingston, or elsewhere.
