The Department of Psychology at Lafayette College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning Fall 2022. Area of specialization is open, but the candidate must have expertise in quantitative methods, measurement validation, and/or computational modeling of behavior. Those who study dimensions of difference and/or remediating inequalities are especially welcome. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology or a relevant field, experience teaching undergraduates, and an active research program.
The candidate will be expected to regularly teach introductory and advanced laboratory courses in design & analysis. Depending on the candidate’s area of specialization, there will also be opportunities to teach existing courses and/or develop additional courses that reflect the candidate’s expertise (e.g., courses with a cross-cultural or individual
differences focus). The teaching load is 2/2 in the first year, and 3/2 thereafter. All faculty members are expected to involve undergraduates in research and to mentor them in independent scholarship. The Department of Psychology expects all of its members to maintain active, productive, sustained programs of scholarship that result in publications. We offer competitive start-up funds and space for research in a well-equipped psychology and neuroscience building.
