Duties and Responsibilities

Loyola University Chicago, College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Psychology invites applications for two Three-Year Lecturer appointments beginning during Academic Year 2022-2023.

Located on Chicago’s vibrantly multicultural North Side, LUC is committed to creating an inclusive, responsive community of faculty, students, and staff. As an urban-based Department of Psychology dedicated to mentoring a diverse student body, many of whom come from under-represented and under-served populations, we especially encourage applications from candidates from under-represented groups. We also encourage applications from scholars committed to interdisciplinarity (i.e., working with colleagues across different subfields and disciplines) and the successful pursuit of external grants. Loyola University Chicago is an ADVANCE institution, one of a select group of universities to receive National Science Foundation funds to support our commitment to increase the number and success of women faculty in the STEM fields.

Teaching responsibilities include 4 courses in each of the semesters of the academic year. We are particularly interested in candidates who can teach Lecture and/or Laboratory courses in several of the following areas: Behavioral Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience, Neuroanatomy, Behavioral Genetics, Cognition, Language, Perception, Research Methods and/or Statistics.
