JOBS: University of Utah, Applied Cognitive Psychology

Applied Cognitive Psychology at the University of Utah. The Department of Psychology at the University of Utah invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in APPLIED COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, at the assistant professor level. The applicant's research area must fit within an identifiable or emerging area in applied cognitive psychology (including but not limited to perception, attention, memory, language, higher cognitive functions, or motor control). The program looks in particular for candidates who translate their theory-driven research into applied settings and are able to use results from their applied work to inform their theoretical research.

The Department of Psychology values interdisciplinary approaches to research and training, and strongly encourages collaboration across four traditional programs (Clinical, Developmental, Social, and Cognition and Neural Sciences). The Cognition and Neural Sciences Program promotes multidisciplinary collaboration outside of the Department of Psychology with active ties to the Brain Institute, the School of Computing, the Business School, the School of Medicine, and the Salt Lake Veterans Administration Medical Center.

The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. With an enrollment of 27,000 students, it is the flagship University for the state of Utah. The University Administration provides strong support for faculty research in the Psychology Department. The Department of Psychology is committed to the goal of promoting diversity in academia and welcomes candidates whose interest and skills contribute to this goal.
