Open Rank Faculty, Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago is continuing to build a new Social Psychology program. The Department seeks applicants at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor level who are interested in working collaboratively as we develop such a program at the University of Chicago. This is an open rank faculty search and we encourage all potentially interested applicants of all levels 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/152159.  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.   Ph.D. must be in hand by start of appointment.

The Search Committee will begin reviewing applications on September 16, 2024 and will continue to consider new applications until the position is filled or the search is closed.  Appointments may begin as early as July 1, 2025.

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

We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange. The University’s Statements on Diversity are at https://provost.uchicago.edu/statements-diversity.
