Professor OR Associate Professor, Psychology

Professor or Associate Professor, Psychology – University at Buffalo

Department of Psychology at University at Buffalo (UB), State University of New York, is recruiting for a SUNY Empire Innovation faculty hire at the rank of Professor or Associate Professor.

The hire will be focused on the study of human cognition and behavior to address gaps in learning, development, or education using AI.

We seek applicants whose work combines behavioral development (e.g., early cognition, memory and attention, social and emotional development, learning, school readiness, and educational achievement) and AI models of detection and intervention (e.g., machine learning, large language models, neural networks).

Potential areas of focus include supporting developmentally diverse learners to promote longer-term positive behavioral health outcomes, or studying normative learning, socio‑emotional, and cognitive processes in typically developing youth to identify avenues to accommodate diverse developmental processes.

The specific area within Psychology is open, though given the focus the strongest fit is likely to be those with training and background in cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and/or learning.

Our new colleague will become a part of considerable momentum at UB in several critical areas, including New York State’s Empire AI investment and the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (IAD). The search will complement a recent cross‑disciplinary cluster hire in UB’s Learning Sciences.

Inquiries about this position can be directed to Dr. Micheal Dent, Chair of the Search Committee (MDent).
