The highly ranked Department of Psychology is seeking excellent candidates for one tenure-track, or tenured, faculty position in the area of Perception. The selected candidate will mount a vigorous research program while making significant contributions to the department’s teaching mission. The area of research within the broad domain of perception is open. A successful candidate may be studying any sensory system(s), using any one or more methods (behavioral/psychophysics, computation, neuroimaging, etc.), in any population. Questions related to perception, however, should be at the core of the candidate’s research program. The successful candidate will contribute to an inclusive, fair, and equitable environment that fosters engagement and a sense of belonging for faculty, staff, students and members of the broader community.

Cognitive or Perceptual Development
The highly ranked Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is seeking excellent candidates for a tenure-track, or tenured, faculty position in the area of Cognitive or Perceptual Development. The selected candidate will mount a vigorous research program while making significant contributions to the department’s teaching mission. Topics of study might include how humans learn to perceive, represent, and act on the world; what kinds of experiences guide perceptual organization and conceptual development; the interface of perception with the development of conceptual representations; or the development of executive functions, memory, reasoning, or decision making. In addition to experimental behavioral research with human infants and/or children, successful candidates might also employ cognitive neuroscience methods, cross-cultural or ethnographic methods, or computational modeling, among other approaches. Our interest is less in specific topic areas or methods than in innovation and excellence in the applicant’s research program. We seek candidates whose scholarship complements existing research strengths in our Department, taking it in clearly new directions. The successful candidate will contribute to an inclusive, fair, and equitable environment that fosters engagement and a sense of belonging for faculty, staff, students and members of the broader community. Our department is enhanced by members’ diverse approaches, perspectives, and life experiences; applicants are encouraged to highlight these features in their application materials.
