Location: Williamstown, MA
Open Date: Aug 08, 2024
Deadline: Oct 02, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time

Description
Williams College Department of Psychology seeks candidates for a tenure-track position at the assistant professor level (although a more senior appointment could be considered under special circumstances), beginning July 1, 2025. We seek a productive scholar and excellent teacher with broad expertise in the field of cognitive psychology whose research program can engage undergraduate students. Candidates with research interests in cognitive psychology and related areas are encouraged to apply and will be given full consideration.
Williams College offers substantial internal support for research and a generous sabbatical program. The teaching load typically consists of four semester-long courses per year and a January term course in alternate years. Likely courses include the cognitive psychology section of a team-taught introductory psychology course, a 200-level cognitive psychology course, and an upper-level research seminar with a laboratory in the candidate's area of interest. The successful candidate will also be expected to join the teaching rotation for our department's methods and statistics laboratory course as well as an integrative capstone seminar. We are especially interested in candidates from underrepresented groups as well as those who are able to work effectively with a student population that is broadly diverse with regard to social identities, including, but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion. Additional information and resources can be found at our departmental web site:

Qualifications
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology or a related discipline at the time of appointment. All offers of employment are contingent upon completion of a background check.
