College Station, Texas, United States Texas A&M University Full time

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, at Texas A&M University invites applications for a full-time tenure track assistant professor position focused on lifespan development. This is a 9-month academic appointment set to begin in Fall 2025.

The successful candidate will engage in research, grant applications, and funded projects; teach courses in our graduate and undergraduate programs; and act as an engaged citizen of the department, college, university, and their field. We seek candidates who are well-positioned to bridge current areas of strength in the department (e.g., neuroimaging methods, neurophysiology, animal models, psychobehavioral assessments, neuroendocrine function, and investigations of individual differences) through collaboration, publish in top-tier peer reviewed journals in their fields, and obtain competitive external grant funding. Typical teaching loads for the department are 3 courses per year, distributed across undergraduate and graduate programs. A research emphasis on stability and change in brain, behavior, personality, and/or mental health across the lifespan is expected. While the population of interest and area of study are open, a focus on development, senescence, mechanisms of change over time, or lifespan influences on brain and behavior is crucial. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research seeks to understand contextual factors that produce change across development. Areas of interest and associated skills might include expertise in: childhood disorders and typical development; social development; aging clinical/neuropsychology; longitudinal methods, modeling, and/or data analysis; links between hormones and human behavior; stability and change in individual differences with a lifespan perspective; imaging with developing populations; the impact of experience/adversity on later psychological outcomes; or cognitive aging.

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Texas A&M University is a community of scholars committed to generating scientific discoveries in the discipline, providing rigorous and inspiring undergraduate and graduate education, and engaging in outreach about psychology and the application of psychological science. We value collaboration, with many faculty having grants and research projects with colleagues inside and beyond the department.

The Department has numerous programs to support early career faculty, including a formal mentoring program. We offer doctoral programs in clinical psychology, cognition and cognitive neuroscience, social and personality psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and behavioral and cellular neuroscience, and a Master's program in industrial/organizational psychology. We currently have 50 full-time faculty, over 100 PhD students, and approximately 2,000 undergraduate majors.

Texas A&M University is a land, sea, and space grant institution that holds the distinction of classification as an R1 Doctoral University (Highest Research Activity), and faculty benefit from the resources and support associated with this designation. Our department is committed to broadening participation in higher education, and has a policy of being responsive to the needs of dual-career couples. The Department is interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will contribute to the breadth and excellence of the academic community, as well as the educational needs of the population of Texas and the global community.
