AI for Modeling the Physical World and Living Systems: Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for multiple tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor for a +AI cluster search spanning the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Philosophy, Physics, Psychological & Brain Sciences, and Statistics & Data Science (see Rules of Life Hiring Initiative). Faculty recruited through this process will join a vibrant cohort of faculty recruited in an earlier Rules of Life search undertaken to promote transdisciplinary collaboration and dialogue to explore fundamental questions regarding living systems and the physical world. Life operates across a diversity of scales, from molecular-scale processes shaping cellular function to the delicate dynamic balance of our biosphere as a whole. System-level properties and processes are affected by interactions operating at all scales and between scales. Understanding these interconnected systems requires an interconnected and multidisciplinary research community. From AI-driven advances in protein structure and dynamics, to advanced imaging methods enabled by quantum sensing, to imaging and modeling the human brain and behavior, to developing entirely new mathematical and computational frameworks to achieve insight from complex data, transformative advances in life sciences will require the integrated efforts of scientists and scholars working across disciplinary boundaries. Moreover, these advances will be accelerated through the combination of artificial intelligence and machine learning with other experimental and computational approaches. Finally, advances in science and technology raise foundational questions about the nature of artificial and natural intelligence, and how they relate to conscious experience and human values. We anticipate multiple hires to expand upon a successful Rules of Life cluster search and to create a robust hub of science researchers and philosophers using diverse yet interconnected methods to advance life sciences from molecular to ecological scales while also considering the relationship between AI and humanity. Preference will be given to applicants whose research combines AI-driven inquiry with experimental, computational, or data-science methods, and who demonstrate synergy with current areas of strength at Washington University. Joint applications exhibiting a high degree of potential for research collaboration will also be considered. Apply: https://apply.interfolio.com/191452 For fullest consideration, applications should be submitted by October 1. Posted: 9/10/26.

Integrative/Comparative Approaches to Cognition: The Yale University Wu Tsai Institute (WTI) invites exceptional candidates investigating cognition to apply for a tenure-track endowed faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor on Term rank, to begin July 2027 or later. Founded by a historic gift, WTI is dedicated to advancing our understanding of human cognition and human potential by sparking interdisciplinary inquiry. 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. Faculty will also find excellent benefits, mentoring, and support that are responsive to professional, dual-career, childcare, and housing needs. We are particularly interested in researchers with an integrative approach, driving experimental or conceptual innovations to advance our understanding of cognition within its broader ecological, biological, or societal contexts. 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. We welcome diverse and interdisciplinary methodologies, including neurobiological, behavioral, cognitive, ecological, and engineering.
