While the area of specialization is flexible, candidates who are either ABD or have a Ph.D. in developmental, cognitive, social, sport, or rehabilitation psychology are especially encouraged to apply. Other course assignments will depend on the department's needs and the candidate's expertise. The position is initially offered as a one-year contract, contingent on positive annual performance reviews and institutional needs, with the possibility of renewal.

Duties:
The successful candidate will teach a survey course and an advanced course in their area of expertise, sharing responsibilities for teaching Introduction to Psychological Science, Basic Statistics, Research Methods, and other courses as needed. An ideal candidate should be able to offer a course that intersects their expertise with the College’s  Health & Human Performance program and also develop an active program of research involving undergraduates. This full-time faculty position involves a 3-3 course load, with courses meeting for 180 minutes each week.

Qualifications:

• A Ph.D. or ABD with a Master’s degree is required at the time of appointment.

• Preference will be given to candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in teaching within a liberal arts context and who have experience serving as the instructor of record for college-level psychology courses.
