[Sarah Creem-Regehr]

*Applied Cognitive Psychology at the University of Utah.* The Department
of Psychology at the University of Utah invites applications for a
tenure-track faculty position in APPLIED COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, at the
assistant professor level. The applicant's research area must fit within
an identifiable or emerging area in applied cognitive psychology
(including but not limited to perception, attention, memory, language,
higher cognitive functions, or motor control). The program looks in
particular for candidates who translate their theory-driven research
into applied settings and are able to use results from their applied
work to inform their theoretical research.

The Department of Psychology values interdisciplinary approaches to
research and training, and strongly encourages collaboration across four
traditional programs (Clinical, Developmental, Social, and Cognition and
Neural Sciences). The Cognition and Neural Sciences Program promotes
multidisciplinary collaboration outside of the Department of Psychology
with active ties to the Brain Institute, the School of Computing, the
Business School, the School of Medicine, and the Salt Lake Veterans
Administration Medical Center.

The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City nestled in the
foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. With an enrollment of 27,000
students, it is the flagship University for the state of Utah. The
University Administration provides strong support for faculty research
in the Psychology Department. The Department of Psychology is committed
to the goal of promoting diversity in academia and welcomes candidates
whose interest and skills contribute to this goal.
