Granville, Ohio
August 1, 2022

The Department of Psychology at Denison University invites applications for a tenure-track position in I/O Psychology. The appointment will be made at the level of Assistant Professor, beginning August 2023. Candidates are required to have by start date a Ph.D. in Psychology or a closely-related field (ABD will be considered as Instructor until Ph.D. is attained).

We seek applicants who are committed to a liberal arts education and helping undergraduate students to understand and appreciate psychological science and its applications. Working closely with students is a primary responsibility of the job, and we seek individuals who are motivated to educate and support a diverse student body. As a department, we strive to develop our students’ critical and scientific reasoning skills as well as foster an engaged and inclusive community of scholars that values a diversity of individuals and perspectives. Further information about the department is available at https://denison.edu/academics/psychology.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach a range of courses including I/O Psychology, an intermediate level research course, an upper-level seminar in the candidate’s area of specialty, Introductory Psychology (which includes a significant laboratory component), and a sophomore-level course on research methods and statistics. They will also be expected to develop a productive research program that meaningfully involves Denison students. We seek applicants that can contribute to the Denison Organizational Studies program, an interdisciplinary certification program that examines organizational structures and processes along with human participation, interaction, and leadership. Additional information about the Organizational Studies Program is available at https://denison.edu/academics/organizational-studies.

In their teaching statement, candidates should clearly articulate an evidence-based and inclusive approach to educating students and provide evidence of successful undergraduate teaching and/or evidence of a commitment to teaching excellence, especially in I/O psychology. In their research statement, candidates should describe their research program, provide evidence of research productivity in psychological science, and discuss the potential to develop a productive research program that involves undergraduates on Denison’s campus. In their diversity statement, candidates should address how their teaching, scholarship, mentorship and/or community service would support Denison’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. They might also address their experience overcoming, or helping others overcome, barriers to academic success, and how that experience informs their work with undergraduate students. Where appropriate in their application materials, applicants should explain their motivation and commitment to mentoring undergraduates in a liberal arts setting. When reviewing the applications, we will consider the extent to which each candidate’s research perspective complements those currently represented in the Department and how the applicant anticipates contributing to the growth of the Department and to Denison’s Organizational Studies Program.

Candidates applying on or before October 1, 2022 will receive full consideration. Position open until filled. The hired candidate must provide proof of academic degree(s). The final candidate will undergo a background check as a condition of offer of employment.
