We seek a colleague with research expertise in experimental psychopathology, developmental psychopathology, or intervention research, focused on children or adolescents.

We are particularly interested in candidates with training in child or adolescent mental health care, such as those with a Ph.

Teaching responsibilities for this position will include introductory and advanced courses in the candidate's area of psychology and instruction within the department's methodology and statistics sequence.

The successful candidate will also supervise independent student research and provide academic/career advising.

We are especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will promote diversity, inclusion, and equity at Colby.

Qualifications


We believe that the best way to learn the science of psychology is by engaging our faculty and students in a collaborative search for new knowledge about human cognition, emotion, and behavior.

To this end, we have a unique curriculum that engages students in research at all levels.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach with passion, to be engaged in an active and sustained program of research that contributes to the global effort to advance psychological knowledge, to involve Colby's exceptional undergraduates in that research, and to become an active and engaged member of our academic community.

The Ph.
D. in Psychology or a closely related field should be completed by September 1, 2025. We support our faculty in pursuing licensure, but we recommend completing all supervised hours before beginning the position.

Application Instructions


Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement, a teaching statement that demonstrates a commitment to equitable and inclusive teaching, a summary of teaching effectiveness/evaluations, copies of publications or in-press manuscripts, and three confidential letters of recommendation through interfolio: Review of applications will begin October 4, 2024, and will continue until the position is filled.

Questions about this search should be directed to Associate Professor Erin Sheets:
