"Assistant Professor of Teaching"

Please consider applying to join our neuroscience teaching faculty team at UNC Chapel Hill.

We have multiple opportunities…

This posting is for two (2) positions and by applying to this posting, applicants will be considered for both these vacancies.

The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill invites applications for two full-time (9 mos.) fixed term Teaching Assistant Professors in the areas of Psychology and Neuroscience, to begin July 2026, with three-year contracts that are renewable and promotion tracks (assistant to associate to full teaching professor).

For one of the positions, we are particularly interested in individuals specializing in neuroscience and qualified to teach neuroscience courses including: Introduction to Neuroscience, a neuroscience laboratory course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in the applicant’s area of expertise, and other key courses in our neuroscience curriculum (NSCI BS and minor). We encourage applicants who can contribute to the highly interdisciplinary NSCI major at UNC, which integrates perspectives from biology, psychology, chemistry, and other fields to provide students with a broad and rigorous foundation in neuroscience.

For the other position, we are interested in individuals who are versatile in which areas they teach within our PSYC curriculum (please see our PSYC BA & BS requirements). These positions would build upon the existing strengths in teaching and research of our faculty.
