Job Description
Lawrence University, a selective undergraduate liberal arts college and conservatory of music located in the vibrant and diverse city of Appleton, Wisconsin, invites applications for a full-time Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology (open area) with a culturally responsive and anti-racist lens to begin September 1, 2022. This is a one-year appointment with the possibility of renewal and involves 2/3-time teaching and 1/3 time in the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
We seek a scholar-activist who demonstrates a lived experience with or ongoing commitment to working with the communities that their research represents and impacts, and whose teaching and research advances understanding of multicultural approaches and/or racial and ethnic identity development. This is an interdisciplinary appointment as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and a Faculty Fellow in the Office of DEI.
The successful candidate will be expected to dedicate two thirds of their time teaching a total of four courses over three terms – an intermediate-level course in Cross-cultural or Multi-cultural Psychology, an advanced course in the candidate’s specialty area, and two additional courses that contribute to the Psychology curriculum – while dedicating one third of their time contributing to campus-wide diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racist initiatives led by the office of DEI.
Candidates must have a PhD. in psychology or a closely related field by the time of appointment (9/1/22) and should submit the following materials by 7/8 at https://lawrence.peopleadmin.com/: (1) a cover letter that includes information regarding the candidate’s teaching experience and/or philosophy, (2) a curriculum vitae, including names and contact information for three individuals who can be solicited for letters of recommendation, and (3) a statement on diversity. The diversity statement should describe the candidate’s experience related to addressing issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism in an academic setting and ways that they would contribute to these efforts at Lawrence.
Review of applications will begin 7/11 and continue until the position is filled. Lawrence is committed to enhancing the diversity of its faculty and staff. We encourage applications from individuals who will help us create a more inclusive Lawrence by: (1) further diversifying the faculty and/or (2) demonstrating experience with successful diversity-related initiatives, creative activity, or research; and (3) showing interest in developing inclusive pedagogy to address the needs of a diverse student body.
