"Visiting Assistant Professor, Psychological Science"

The Department of Psychological Science invites applications for a one-year, Visiting Assistant Professor position for the 2025-2026 academic year with a specialty in social, developmental, or biological psychology.

This position replaces a faculty member who is away on a one-year international Fulbright Scholarship. The candidate will be joining a rich psychology program with a deep focus on the science of psychology. Research methods and statistics are thoughtfully integrated throughout the curriculum. Students leave our program equipped with a skillset that allows them to succeed both in graduate programs and in careers that are not directly related to psychology. Psychology is also a popular major for students pursuing occupational therapy.

Responsibilities:

• Teach eight courses per year (divided across two semesters and January/summer terms), including courses in their area of specialization, Research Methods and Statistics, and a team-taught course in Introduction to Psychological Science.
• They may have the opportunity to mentor students in thesis research, which is often integrated with the professor’s ongoing research program.

Qualifications:

• Must have a Ph.D. in psychology (awarded by their start date) and some college-level teaching experience. The Department of Psychological Science at Carthage College thrives on community.

Interested candidates should submit a single PDF file including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, 1-3 page statement of teaching philosophy, and the names and contact information of three professional references. Additional questions about this position can be directed to Anthony Barnhart at abarnhart@carthage.edu.
