Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago is continuing to build a new Social Psychology program. The Department invites applications for Assistant Professor positions who are interested in working collaboratively as we develop such a program at the University of Chicago. We encourage all potentially interested applicants to apply. The new program will benefit from synergies with members of the Department of Psychology, researchers at the Center for Decision Research at the Booth School of Business, as well as the Committee on Education.  Applicants must be social psychologists who are interested in participating in a world-class program that welcomes, respects, and supports a diverse community of scholars. The Department of Psychology and the Division of Social Sciences are committed to the creation and the support of such a program.

Candidates should apply online at the University of Chicago’s Interfolio website at apply.interfolio.com/113602 .  Applications must include 1) a cover letter with contact information for at least three references; 2) a current curriculum vitae; 3) a research statement; 4) a teaching statement and 5) three representative publications. Candidates interested in applying to either of our other open searches, please see apply.interfolio.com/113612  and apply.interfolio.com/113600 for descriptions and application instructions. Ph.D. must be in hand by start of appointment.

Review of applications will begin on October 17, 2022 and will continue until the positions are filled or the search is closed.  Appointments may begin as early as July 1, 2023.

All University departments and institutes are charged with building a faculty from a diversity of backgrounds and with diverse viewpoints, to cultivating an inclusive community that values freedom of expression, and to welcoming and supporting all their members.
