About the role
The Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) at the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) and the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST) invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Cognitive Science.
SBS is an interdisciplinary department bringing together psychology, economics, evolutionary anthropology and biology, political science, and sociology. Our research addresses the psychological foundations of social life: how people learn and transmit cultural knowledge, how they cooperate and make moral decisions, and how they judge, trust, and delegate to artificial intelligence.
We are searching broadly and welcome candidates whose research focuses on learning, decision-making, social cognition, or collective behavior. Applicants should hold (or expect to complete by August 2027) a PhD in psychology (any subfield, including social, cognitive, cross-cultural, developmental, and evolutionary), cognitive science, or a related field. We particularly value expertise in quantitative methods and an interest in interdisciplinary collaboration.
Practical details:
- Start date: September 1, 2027
- Teaching in English; French fluency is not required
- Reduced teaching load, research budget, and relocation and integration support
- Application materials (in English): CV, cover letter, research statement, and three letters of reference
- Deadline: December 15, 2026
