Description

Beloit College invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology to teach 6 courses (3 each semester) in the 2024-25 academic year. This is a benefits-eligible position, and has the possibility of renewal. The successful candidate will teach Introduction to Psychology, a course in our Research Methods and Statistics course sequence, as well as intermediate and advanced courses in their area of expertise. The ability to offer courses in biological or cognitive psychology would be preferred, but we would also consider health, clinical, industrial and organizational, or behavioral economics/consumer psychology. The ability to emphasize the psychology of traditionally marginalized groups would be particularly desirable. We seek a colleague who has demonstrated excellence in or strong potential for teaching undergraduates, and whose pedagogies or research align with and engage our increasingly diverse student body and our interdisciplinary curriculum. A PhD in Psychology by August 2024 is preferred, though applications from advanced ABD applicants will also be considered.
