The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences (PBS) at the Johns Hopkins University invites applications from outstanding candidates for a full-time open-rank tenured or tenure-track position in behavioral neuroscience. We welcome researchers who employ innovative approaches to understand the neural underpinnings of animal behaviors. Preference will be given to applicants with research programs involving in vivo systems and behavioral neuroscience, coupled with computational approaches.

The department is also conducting open-rank searches in Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology. Candidates conducting primarily human neuroscience research are invited to apply to the Cognitive Neuroscience position. Candidates using primarily behavioral and/or computational measures are invited to apply to the Cognitive Psychology position. For information about these other two searches please go to: https://pbs.jhu.edu/about/jobs/ . Candidates are invited to apply to multiple searches when appropriate.

Within the highly collaborative environment of the Johns Hopkins University, PBS represents a vibrant community of researchers investigating the mind and the brain. We enjoy rich interactions with neuroscientists in the Departments of Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, the Mind/Brain Institute, Neuroscience, Neurology and Otolaryngology.

Review of applications will begin December 1, 2025, and will continue on a rolling basis. Preference will be given to applications received on or before January 15, 2026. Applicants may write to Dr. Shreesh P. Mysore with questions about this search.

Consistent with the University's goals of achieving excellence in all areas, we will assess the comprehensive qualifications of each applicant.
