Closing Date: October 10, 2025
Carnegie Mellon University seeks applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience to begin Fall 2026 (start date negotiable). We invite scholars whose research examines cognitive development using human neuroscience methods (e.g., fMRI, EEG, MEG, NIRS, computational modeling, deep neural networks) with a focus on infancy and childhood (0–6 years). Desired content areas are broad and may include learning and memory, language, perception, motor control, spatial and mathematical cognition, social cognition, and executive function.
The successful candidate will join a collaborative faculty with established strengths in the Learning Sciences and the Neural Basis of Cognition as well as multiple content areas in child development: visual and auditory perception, object knowledge, categories & concepts, executive function, language acquisition, and mathematical reasoning. We particularly welcome applicants whose theoretical approaches and methodologies create bridges across areas of cognition and connect to complementary strengths in the department and across CMU (e.g., machine learning and artificial intelligence, learning science, decision science, health psychology and social dynamics, translational neuroscience, human-computer interaction).
