Lecturer in Psychology

The Psychology Department at Georgia State University invites applications for two full-time Lecturers to join a vibrant and interdisciplinary department beginning as early as August 2024. While area of expertise is open, we have particular teaching needs around Multicultural Psychology, African American Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Psychology of Women, and our sequence of research methods and statistics courses. Applicants with demonstrated effectiveness in teaching students, engaging their critical thinking, and in applying innovative instructional techniques, including expertise in high quality online instruction, are of particular interest. As one of the largest majors in the College of Arts & Sciences, the Department of Psychology anticipates recruiting broadly trained faculty members who can contribute effectively to undergraduate teaching, student success activities, and service. Lecturers in Psychology are non-tenure-track faculty. In the fifth year of service, Lecturers become eligible for promotion to the rank of Senior Lecturer. After five years in rank, Senior Lecturers are eligible for promotion to Principal Senior Lecturer. The College of Arts and Sciences supports faculty professional success through mentoring programs and representation of faculty from all ranks in college-level program development.
