Ohio University is making a significant, university-wide investment in Brain Health and Cognition Across the Lifespan. This initiative brings together faculty expertise across the College of Health Sciences and Professions, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Patton College of Education to advance discovery in brain health, cognition, communication, movement, and learning. Faculty hired into this cohort will join a collaborative, interdisciplinary network dedicated to understanding and enhancing cognitive and functional health across the lifespan, from early development through older adulthood. Together, these new faculty will strengthen Ohio University's growing reputation in brain health research and education, fostering connections across disciplines and colleges. This investment reflects the University's commitment to addressing the complex biological, behavioral, and social factors that shape brain health and to translating discoveries into meaningful outcomes that improve everyday life. As part of this initiative, the Department of Psychology invites applicants for a tenure-track (open rank) faculty position in Cognitive Psychology . This position will begin on August 16, 2027, with the possibility of an earlier start date of January 1, 2027. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a programmatic research agenda with strong potential for extramural funding, expertise in cognitive psychology, and advanced quantitative skills. Preference will be given to applicants whose research program complements ongoing initiatives in healthy aging, including for example, the application of quantitative methods and/or computational modeling to advance understanding of how cognitive functions change with age or are impacted by injury or disease.
