We seek a psychological scientist with training and research in basic or applied psychology, broadly defined, with a preference for cognitive, neuroscience, health, or industrial-organizational psychology.

Candidates should demonstrate responsiveness toward and understanding of diverse student backgrounds, especially with regard to socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, culture, ability/disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity and have a willingness to facilitate the university's mission to develop global citizens.

The successful candidate will be expected to show excellence in teaching students from diverse backgrounds in small class sizes and develop and maintain an active research program that can meaningfully incorporate undergraduate student collaborators from diverse backgrounds. Priority will be given to candidates with the demonstrated potential to publish or present findings with undergraduate co-authors.
Application Information: Applicants should submit the following materials: (1) a cover letter; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) a research statement that describes their program of research, including opportunities for meaningful student involvement; (4) a teaching statement that describes their teaching experience in psychology content courses, including evidence of their ability to create equitable learning opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds; and (5) the names and email addresses of three references who will be contacted to submit letters of recommendation. Review of applications will begin January 15, 2024 and continue until the position is filled.

Employment is contingent on the completion of a successful background check.
