Application review will begin March 18, 2013, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Ph.D. in Psychology is required (ABD considered, with expected completion by start date).

Successful candidates will have skills consistent with effective use of technology, leading large sections, working collaboratively with multiple constituents, and effectively teaching introductory psychology. Teaching responsibilities include coordinating, teaching, and evaluating the department’s large blended introductory psychology course and training undergraduate learning assistants.

Duties also include advising students and contributing to other departmental undergraduate or graduate teaching needs, including on-line course development as needed. Scholarship responsibilities include developing an active research program and mentoring undergraduate and master’s students in research. Beyond leadership and assessment of introductory psychology, service is expected within and beyond the department.
