Position Summary: The Psychology Department at Stonehill College invites applicants for two tenure track assistant professor appointments in Psychology to begin July 2023. The first position will be in the area of Multicultural Psychology. We seek applicants who have completed a Ph.D. in psychology with some specialization related to multiculturalism and diversity science. Priority will be given to applicants whose research focuses on race/ethnicity, psychological dimensions of prejudice, discrimination, racial justice, and/or racism-related disparities. Applicants may hold a PhD in various areas of psychology, so long as they have an established line of research inquiry related to diversity, preferably with an intersectional focus. Teaching responsibilities include a course on Multicultural Psychology, courses in the applicant’s area of specialty, as well as other departmental courses.
The second tenure track position is in the area of Social Psychology. We seek applicants who have completed a Ph.D. in social psychology, area of specialty open, but priority given to those specializing in Forensic/Legal Psychology, Stereotyping and Prejudice, Intergroup Conflict, or Social Neuroscience. Teaching responsibilities include a course on Social Psychology, courses in the applicant’s area of specialty, as well as other departmental courses.
Both positions would be a 3:3 teaching load and would include additional responsibilities of initiating and/or maintaining a research program. The best applicants should be committed to excellence in teaching, advising, and mentoring undergraduates in research. The successful candidate will also have a strong commitment to diversity and issues of intersectionality in areas of teaching, research, and mentoring. Experience mentoring and supporting students from traditionally under-represented backgrounds (first-generation, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, minority religion, etc.) is also preferred. Both newly hired faculty members will join a department of 11 full-time faculty with a wide range of disciplinary expertise and a commitment to fostering diversity among faculty and students. The department also prides itself on supporting each other and supporting a quality work-life balance for all.
Instructions to Applicants: Interested candidates should submit online a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy and experience, a diversity and inclusion statement, and a brief description of the proposed research plan that includes how students will be engaged in the research. Three recommendation letters are also required, and each should be submitted online by the reference. Submit required documentation via the URL link:
