We are building a vibrant community where experimentalists and theorists work together to advance basic research and fundamental understanding of how the mind works. Faculty identified through this search will receive an appointment in one or more departments at Yale and an attractive start-up package. They will join a growing community of >220 faculty across Yale and have access to state-of-the-art lab space and core facilities in our new research building, special funding mechanisms, fellowships for postdocs and students, and other events and programs.

Examples of appealing research programs include, but are not limited to, how human cognition and behavior relate to homeostatic and physiological functions, comparative studies of cognition across species, and how cognition and behavior unfold within real-world contexts, among others.
