Teaching responsibilities will be 6 courses per year and will include introductory and specialty courses. Introductory courses could include introductions to sensation and perception, higher order cognition, general psychology, or research and statistical methods. More specialized courses and seminars could focus on visual cognition, attention and consciousness, language acquisition, computational models of cognitive processing, and judgment and decision making. In addition, the individual will be involved in advising and mentoring of undergraduate students. Evidence of excellence in teaching such as honors and awards and student course evaluations is required. Research involvement is welcomed but not required.
