The Department of Psychology at the University of Miami invites applications for a full-time, tenure-eligible, or tenure-track faculty member to join our department in August 2025. The opening is part of a College of Arts & Sciences cluster hire dedicated to artificial intelligence (machine learning). Prospective candidates should use artificial intelligence as a core approach in their investigations and/or as a topic of their research. Individuals who also have interests in computational approaches including advanced quantitative techniques are encouraged to apply. The specific area of research is open. Area(s) of focus could include, but are not limited to, basic research on perception, cognition, affect, neurophysiology, language, behavior, mental health, the impact of disparities, learning, development, human computer interaction, deep neural network mechanisms, brain-inspired AI, or computational cognitive neuroscience. The candidate’s research would complement and expand current work in the department using large language models to study naturalistic speech, using machine learning to model emotional communication, and using computational models to explain both neural processing and behavior. Candidates will support and advance UM’s mission to engage in innovative and interdisciplinary AI research across the college and university.
