AY 26/27 Assistant Professor in Cognitive Psychology - Tenure Track

Location: University of Notre Dame

Open Date: 2026-07-15

Deadline: Sep 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time

Description:

The Department of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor specializing in human cognition. Multiple positions are available and will begin in the Fall of 2027.

The area of specialization is open, but we are especially interested in applicants who have the potential to make important theoretical contributions. We are also interested in applicants who use a variety of different methods in their research, both neuroscience and behavioral. Notre Dame continues to make strategic investments that support neuroscientific approaches to studying the human mind (https://neuroimaging.nd.edu/). Among these investments is the establishment of a new research-dedicated Human Neuroimaging Center. This Center is designed to facilitate and support collaborative, multi-method, and interdisciplinary research across all areas within the department (clinical, cognitive, developmental, and quantitative psychology). It includes a 3T Siemens Magnetom Cima X fMRI system, a mock scanner, separate dedicated research spaces for TMS, EEG, and neuropsychological testing. Additionally, the center is co-located with the Veldman Family Psychology Clinic, which includes the Shaw Center for Children and Families, the Behavioral Health Research Unit, and Clinical Services.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop and maintain an impactful and externally fundable research program, supervise and mentor undergraduate and doctoral research including theses and dissertations, and teach courses at the undergraduate and doctoral levels.
