Professorship Opportunity-University of Buffalo Department of Psychology Tenure/Tenure Track Associate or Full Professor The Department of Psychology at the University at Buffalo (UB), The State University of New York, is recruiting for a SUNY Empire Innovation faculty hire at the rank of Associate or Full Professor. The hire is focused on the study of human cognition and behavior to address gaps in learning, development, or education using AI. UB Psychology seeks applicants whose work combines behavioral development (e.g., early cognition, memory and attention, social and emotional development, learning, school readiness, and educational achievement) and AI models of detection and intervention (e.g., machine learning, large language models, neural networks). To offer a few examples, this hire could focus on supporting developmentally diverse learners (e.g., those with learning disabilities or ADHD) to promote longer-term, positive behavioral health outcomes. Similarly, they could also study normative learning, socio-emotional, and cognitive processes in typically developing youth, which may identify avenues to accommodate diverse developmental processes. The specific area within Psychology is open, though given the focus of the hire, the strongest fit is likely to be those with training and background in cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and/or learning. This hire will become a part of considerable momentum at the University at Buffalo in several critical areas. First among these is New York State’s Empire AI investment, which seeks to secure New York’s place at the forefront of AI research. This hire also will work with UB’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (IAD), which brings together educators, researchers, students, and external partners from across UB and beyond to advance the promise of machine intelligence. Inquiries about this position can be directed to Dr. Micheal Dent, Chair of the Search Committee (MDent@xxxxxxxxxxx). Applications may be submitted at [https://www.ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/58513]. Review of applications will begin November 1st and will continue until the position is filled.
