The Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for faculty positions as part of the university-wide Rules of Life +AI hiring initiative.
Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank as part of a university-wide +AI cluster search spanning Biology, Chemistry, Philosophy, Physics, Psychological & Brain Sciences, and Statistics & Data Science.
Within Psychological & Brain Sciences, we especially encourage applications from researchers whose programs place artificial intelligence or machine learning at the center of their scientific inquiry. Relevant areas might include—but are not limited to—computational models of cognition, behavior, or brain function; human–AI interaction; AI-enabled behavioral or mental health interventions; adaptive and personalized interventions; AI-supported assessment, prediction, or behavior change; machine learning approaches to neuroimaging or other complex behavioral and biological data; and research connecting artificial and natural intelligence, conscious experience, or human values. Strong candidates will integrate AI-driven inquiry with experimental, computational, clinical, or data-science approaches and demonstrate potential for collaboration across disciplines.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Psychology or a closely related field. Candidates at the Associate or Full Professor rank should have a record of research, teaching, and service commensurate with appointment at that rank. For fullest consideration, applications should be submitted by October 1, although review will continue until available positions are filled.
Additional information about the initiative, research themes, application requirements, and disciplinary contacts is available on the Rules of Life Hiring Initiative page. Applications may be submitted through Interfolio (Job ID 191452).
