Preference will be given to a candidate committed to open science practices and whose perspective would support the social justice work of our Department.

Background: Our department serves a large undergraduate major, offering both a BA and BS in Psychology as well as two PhD programs (Developmental & Brain Science and Clinical Psychology). Most faculty conducting lab-based research have space in the Integrated Sciences Building, part of our campus on the Columbia Point peninsula, offering wonderful views of the city and Boston Harbor.

Application instructions: Electronic submission is required at https://hr.umb.edu/jobs (job no: 524559). Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, and research and teaching statements. Please also include contact information for three references whom we may contact for letters of recommendation. Please direct questions to Dr. Erik Blaser (erik.blaser@umb.edu) Chair of the Search Committee.

UMass Boston is the third most diverse university in the country, with more than 60% of our undergraduate students coming from minoritized communities and groups and more than half of our students are the first in their families to attend a college or university. Thus, our students come to us from richly diverse life experiences and backgrounds; they bring to our classrooms and research settings the robust range of perspectives growing out of the socio-cultural, economic, and historical contexts in which they have lived, along with the challenges they encounter, engage, and strive to overcome.

Given this context, please articulate how your approach to teaching, advising, and mentoring: will engage with the diverse life experiences of students; will reflect an appreciation for the ways in which students bring their holistic selves into the academic setting; and will reflect how your own life experiences and background shapes your practices and commitments as an instructor, mentor, researcher, and scholar.

UMass Boston is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, we will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations for the hiring process. If reasonable accommodation is needed, please contact HRDirect@umb.edu or 617-287-5150.

The Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary invites applications for a tenure-track transdisciplinary position with a focus on The Digital Child at the rank of Assistant Professor (Teaching and Research). The successful candidate will be provided a five-year research-intensive term with reduced teaching commitments and initial research funding.

As part of the broader University of Calgary transdisciplinary recruitment program, 20 academic positions have been created to build capacity and provide leadership in support of the Ahead of Tomorrow Strategic plan. These scholars see challenges as opportunities that spark our singular mission – to dare to imagine ahead of tomorrow.

The significance of digital exposure on children and youth, may not only arguably affect the neurodevelopment of the brain but raises substantial questions about the social connectivity and belongingness of children. This proposed research attends to the evolving complexities of the development of children. Learnings through and from the recent pandemic and the explosion of Artificial Intelligence suggests a need to consider how young children develop cognitively, psychologically, socially, and emotionally in such disruptive times.

The proposed research program would bring together leading researchers to catalyze research and knowledge creation that envisions evolving conceptions of childhood and future learning environments.  The transdisciplinary nature of this work would seek to examine the digital impacts on the cognitive-social development of children and how to bridge and scale up learnings to broader educational settings.

The appointments will commence July 1, 2024, or at a mutually agreeable date.

Preference will be given to candidates whose research focuses on how education is situated within and responsive to complex classrooms given the multifaceted worlds in which we live, learn and play. Applicants must have a strong disciplinary knowledge with an understanding of developmentally appropriate pedagogies that are responsive to diverse learning paths.

In addition to maintaining an active funded research program, the successful candidate will be expected to supervise graduate and/or undergraduate students, teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in their areas of specialization and demonstrate leadership in service, collaboration, and mentorship within the University and the community. 

The successful candidate at the Assistant Professor (Teaching and Research) level must demonstrate evidence of a track record of publications in high quality journals, securing external research funding, and effectiveness in teaching at the university level.

The position provides an opportunity to establish a vigorous, sustainable, externally funded research, contribute to teaching and student supervision, and participate in leadership of related research, education, and service. This is an excellent opportunity to build and develop an innovative research program within a dynamic and collaborative environment. A competitive salary and an attractive start-up package will be provided. 

The successful applicant will have:

• A doctorate in Education (or related discipline);
• A strong record of research and knowledge mobilization (commensurate with rank);
• Ability to obtain research funding commensurate with rank;
• Demonstrated capability in teaching
• Engagement with local, national, and international professional and other communities (commensurate with rank).

Interested individuals are encouraged to submit an application online via the `Apply Now’ link and include in one combined PDF:

Cover letter with brief description of present and aspiring contributions in transdisciplinary research

• Curriculum vitae
• Reprints of two (2) representative academic publications
• Names and contact information for three referees.

Position Description

The Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour at McMaster University in Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in the
Cognitive Neuroscience of Music at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, beginning July 1,
2022.

McMaster is known internationally for the scientific study of music. The McMaster Institute for
Music and the Mind (MIMM) involves an interdisciplinary group of researchers from
Psychology, Neuroscience, Kinesiology, Engineering, Music, and Health Science, who conduct
fundamental and applied research related to music. MIMM houses the unique LIVELab
(https://livelab.mcmaster.ca), a 106-seat research concert hall with exquisite active acoustic
control and the capacity to measure movement, EEG and other physiology simultaneously in
interacting musicians and audience members.

We seek a researcher who studies fundamental mechanisms and/or applied questions related
to the cognitive neuroscience of music. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to,
sensorimotor processes underlying perception and performance; coordination between
musicians; neural encoding of music; effects of experience and culture; physiological synchrony
in musicians and audience members; the role of music in optimal development and/or mental
health and wellbeing; the protective value of music against cognitive decline in aging; music
and developmental disabilities; and improvisation and creativity. Expertise in computational
modelling, measurement and analysis of EEG and other physiological signals, and movement
analysis would be an asset.

In addition to the scientific study of music, the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience &
Behaviour has long-standing strengths in auditory, visual and tactile sensory systems;
development; computational neuroscience; behavioural neuroscience; cognition and learning;
evolutionary and social psychology; and animal behaviour. We value and encourage
collaboration among researchers and educators, and have close ties with the Departments of
Biology, Kinesiology, Music, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Psychiatry & Behavioural
