 | Assistant/Associate Professor of Psychology |  |  |  |  |  | |
The Department of Psychology at Skidmore College invites applications for a tenure-track position in Psychology at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor beginning Fall 2015. The position is open and applications are invited from all areas of specialization; we are especially interested in candidates with scholarship/teaching related to diversity or cross-cultural issues. The faculty member in this position will teach core courses (e.g., research methods) and courses in the area of expertise, and will supervise undergraduate research. Within the context of a five-course teaching load, the position also occasionally includes teaching a first-year interdisciplinary seminar (topic open).
Skidmore seeks to attract an academically and culturally diverse faculty, especially those who can contribute to the growing diversity and excellence of the community through their teaching, scholarship, and service. Enthusiasm for advising, teaching, and mentoring a diverse population of students is essential. We seek candidates who are firmly committed to undergraduate education, including the involvement of undergraduates in research programs that are theoretically and methodologically sophisticated and of nationally recognized quality. Excellent teaching and research facilities support many opportunities for faculty/student collaborative work in the classroom, lab, and field.
Skidmore is a liberal arts institution of approximately 2,400 students, with 21% students of color, and 248 full-time faculty members, located in upstate New York. Skidmore offers support for faculty development in many ways, including pre-tenure sabbaticals, laboratory start-up funds, and internal grants.
Preference will be given to candidates with teaching experience who have a Ph.D. in psychology or, if ABD, will complete the Ph.D. by Fall 2015, and who have potential to develop a significant research program in psychology.
Candidates should submit all materials online by September 30, 2014, including cover letter, vita, selected reprints, research statement, teaching evaluations/teaching statement, transcripts for highest degree completed and email addresses for three letters of recommendation. Applicants are requested to include in their cover letter how they will enhance the diversity of offerings and educational experiences in the department and college with regards to their teaching, research, and/or service.
Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
