The Department of Psychology at Arizona State University invites applications for two full-time Lecturers with an anticipated start date of August 2021. These are full-time, benefits-eligible, non-tenure-eligible positions renewable on an academic year basis (August 16th to May 15th) contingent upon satisfactory performance, availability of resources, and the needs of the university.

The successful candidates will join an active, committed group of teaching faculty in delivering high quality undergraduate courses, and will be expected to participate in service to the university and profession as appropriate. Lecturer positions include the potential for promotion within the lecturer ranks, and opportunities for summer teaching.
The requirement for the positions are a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology, Biology, or closely related discipline by the time of appointment.
Desired qualifications include: (1) experience teaching undergraduate neuroscience courses; (2) experience with multiple teaching modalities, especially online course development and teaching; (3) familiarity with “best practices” in undergraduate education; (4) professional engagement with students in and out of the classroom; and (5) demonstrated success meeting the needs of diverse student populations and/or reaching out to diverse communities. Applicants are expected to give a teaching demonstration if invited to interview.
