Assistant Professor of Human Development, Psychology, and Learning

The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) invites applications for a
full-time, tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor
focused on human development, psychology, and learning. HGSE has faculty
needs in two broad areas of human development:

   - Social and interpersonal relationships among adolescents and/or young
   adults
   –OR–
   - Cognitive development, particularly in relation to science education

In each case, expertise in either school-based research, neuroscience, or
cross-cultural variation would be welcome.

Strong applicants will be distinguished by the quality of their research
and the significance of their work for policy and practice. We are seeking
candidates who conduct rigorous empirical research, and we welcome
candidates from multiple disciplinary and methodological perspectives.
Ideal candidates will have a track record of, or the capacity to develop, a
successful independent research program, with a strong interest in
communicating with education policymakers and practitioners.

We seek candidates who have the interest, enthusiasm, and potential to
teach and mentor master’s and doctoral students interested in pursuing both
research and practice-based careers in education. The candidate is expected
to make meaningful contributions to the core curriculum of our graduate
programs by teaching required courses and recommended elective courses as
part of specific program pathways. The ability to help students develop
conceptual as well as procedural professional knowledge beyond one’s own
specific expertise is essential to our graduate programs.

High-quality teaching is greatly valued at HGSE, and the school is
committed to cultivating and supporting effective pedagogical practices
among faculty, including through our Teaching and Learning Lab, which
provides consultation services for faculty teaching. The successful
candidate will also have interest and potential to lead and contribute to
the development and delivery of residential and online professional
development programs for practitioners, administrators, and leaders through
HGSE’s Programs in Professional Education and to lead work that furthers
the engagement of the school with the larger field of global education
institutions. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute
to HGSE initiatives focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. HGSE
faculty at all ranks advise master’s students, mentor doctoral students,
and participate in institutional governance and service.

By the position start date of July 1, 2025, candidates will possess a
doctorate or another terminal degree in human development, psychology,
sociology, anthropology, cognitive science, or a related field. Ideal
candidates will have demonstrated teaching experience, though it is not
required for the appointment.

The search committee will begin reviewing applications on August 1, 2024;
for full consideration, please apply by that date. Please submit a CV,
cover letter, research statement (ca. 2-3 pages), statement of teaching
philosophy that includes a description of the candidate’s orientation
toward diversity, equity and inclusion practices (ca. 2 pages), three
letters of reference, and three or more writing samples/publications
(article or chapter-length) online at http://apply.interfolio.com/140746.
Candidates invited to interview will be asked to submit additional
documents (e.g., sample syllabi, teaching evaluations).
