The Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, invites applications for a tenure-track open rank faculty position, leveraging the latest generative AI models and methods in studying human cognition. Generative artificial intelligence is reshaping cognitive science. The past few years have witnessed the emergence of powerful AI systems that can use language, reason, and act in increasingly human-like ways. From these developments, a new subfield of cognitive science is emerging, one that compares complex patterns of information processing across biological and artificial minds, and uses insights from the study of natural minds to develop new computational capacities in artificial minds.
We seek a scholar who will lead Michigan into this next era of research on cognition. This is an academic year appointment with an expected start in August 25, 2026. This position is part of a cluster of four new AI-related positions in the Departments of Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Psychiatry, with all four faculty expected to affiliate with the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science. New faculty hired will be expected to establish an independent research program and will be committed to undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentorship.
