Description

The Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences at
Brown University invites applications for the position of Lecturer in
Statistical Methods. This is a non-tenure track, full-time, 9-month faculty
appointment, with expected contract renewal every 3 years. Start date can
be as early as January 1 2024.

The Lecturer will teach an introductory undergraduate statistics course
twice a year and two courses in graduate-level statistics each year. The
graduate courses include an advanced statistics core course and courses on
specialized topics (e.g., multivariate analyses, linear mixed effects
modeling, causal and longitudinal covariance structures, Bayesian methods,
or other current topics).

The Lecturer will also provide statistics consulting for graduate students
and other advanced trainees engaged in active research in the department.
The CLPS department has a highly interdisciplinary research environment in
the study of mind, brain, and behavior; offering curricular programs in
Psychology, Cognitive Science, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Behavioral
Decision Sciences.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in psychology, statistics, or related fields.
Successful candidates will have expertise in current statistical approaches
and experience applying statistics to scientific problems within the broad
research areas encompassed by our department. Whereas candidates are not
expected to maintain an active research program or acquire external
funding, involvement in ongoing department research, independent research,
or sponsored projects is welcomed.

We seek candidates with an interest in inclusive teaching of statistics to
lower the barriers that some students in psychology and cognitive science
experience. Adhering to best practices for teaching statistics and making
statistics education inclusive will be an emphasis as we evaluate
applicants’ teaching and diversity statements.

The Department is located in the heart of campus and is associated with
many Centers and Initiatives at the University, including the Sheridan
Center for Teaching and Learning, Carney Institute for Brain Science,
Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Data Science
Initiative, Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America—to name a
few.

The CLPS department is committed to building a culturally diverse faculty.
We strongly encourage applications from individuals historically
underrepresented in the academy.
