The State University of New York at Cortland plans to hire an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department to teach courses in psychology, based on department need and the candidate’s specialization, conduct research, and engage in service beginning in Fall 2025.
SUNY Cortland is an engaged learning community that is committed to promoting a diversity of thought and experience. We believe that an equitable, inclusive, and diverse campus and curriculum are critical to our educational mission. Tenure-track faculty contribute to the University’s values of inclusive excellence through outstanding teaching, research and/or scholarship, service to the department and University, and by providing academic advisement and mentoring to all students. Faculty are expected to maintain a routine presence on campus to support our campus values of focusing on the students, integrity, and intellectual life, and to serve our campus priorities of academic excellence, transformational education, well-being, and the maximization of resources.
The Psychology Department at SUNY Cortland offers a B.A. and B.S. in Psychology, a minor in Psychology, a minor in Psychology in Schools, and a minor in Forensic Psychology. Our typical class size is 30, while class sizes in upper division labs and capstone courses tend to be around 12-20. We currently have over 300 Psychology majors and 15 tenure-track faculty with a typical teaching load of 3 courses per semester. Our program is aligned with the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines for an undergraduate psychology major. Faculty have access to modern research and teaching facilities. The department is housed in the original, historically renovated Old Main building. For information about our current departmental faculty and course offerings, please visit our website at: http://www2.cortland.edu/
A Ph.D. in psychology or a related field by time of appointment is required. Preferred candidates will be able to effectively teach foundational courses in our department (Introductory Psychology, Statistics, Research Methods) and/or complement the needs of our School Psychology minor program (e.g., applied behavior analysis, academic development, child-focused and/or school-based mental health, psychological testing).
Review start date: October 22, 2024, open until filled.
