Assistant Professor of Psychology

The Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University (NYU) invites applications for the tenure-track position of Assistant Professor of Psychology to commence September 1, 2025.

We are interested in scholars who study the human mind, behavior, emotion, and relationality in ways that incorporate multiple disciplines, methods, and modalities. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses that encourage students to critically engage with the historical, sociocultural, political and geographic contexts of the field of psychology, both its theories and its clinical and institutional practices.

NYU Gallatin emphasizes excellent teaching, top level faculty research, intensive student advising and mentoring, and a unique combination of program flexibility and academic rigor. Its innovative B.A. and M.A. programs in individualized study encourage students to develop an integrated, interdisciplinary program of study that combines courses taken in the various schools of NYU with independent studies, internships, and Gallatin’s own interdisciplinary seminars, writing courses and arts workshops.

Founded in 1972, NYU Gallatin is a liberal arts college of 1,600 undergraduate students and 160 graduate students that are part of New York University. To learn more about the Gallatin School, please visit our website at gallatin.nyu.edu.

The teaching load for this position is four courses per year (two in the fall and two in the spring). Additionally, faculty carry an advising load up to 20-25 students. Successful applicants will have evidence of an ongoing research program, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and evidence of a commitment to increasing diversity and fostering inclusion in academia.

PhD in hand by the time of appointment is required; demonstrated excellence in teaching at the college or university level; and a strong record of research and writing.

Applicants are asked to submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a writing sample and the contact information for three academic references. Letters of application should also include the titles and very brief descriptions of two potential "dream" courses candidates would like to teach (no more than 100 words per description).
