Assistant Professor of Psychology in Cognitive Psychology, University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA

The Department of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a tenure-track position at the level of assistant professor in the area of cognitive psychology, pending budgetary approval, to begin Fall of 2025.  

We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary candidates with research interests that would strengthen bridges between the cognitive psychology program and one or more of the other Psychology program areas (social, bio-health, clinical, developmental) and/or other departments at the University of Pittsburgh. The interdisciplinarity might be realized through topics or methods that span areas, applications of cognitive psychology methods or theories to other domains, or other creative ways to connect fields. We especially welcome research into issues that connect with diversity, equity, belonging, and inclusion.

Application deadline: 1 November 2024

Speech processing and reading are essential unique human abilities underpinning social, educational, and professional advancement. However early biomarkers of speech processing deficits that have been documented in reading disabilities such as Developmental Dyslexia (DD) have yet to be identified. Here, we will explore whether the cortical tracking of speech (CTS) - the temporal alignment between fluctuations in the speech signal and fluctuations in electrical brain activity – can predict later reading deficits in DD.

Speech processing and reading are essential unique human abilities underpinning social, educational, and professional advancement. However, biologically constrained models of spoken and visual word recognition are still lacking, particularly in the domains of bilingualism. Here, we will investigate the neurobiological underpinnings of speech and reading in bilinguals and second language learners using data collected with advanced neuroimaging tools in our lab.
