A PhD in psychology or a related field is required by the start date. Additionally, candidates should demonstrate excellence in teaching and be prepared to fulfill citizenship responsibilities within the department and university.

Applicants are encouraged to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research samples, and a mission alignment statement, along with a one-page statement detailing their commitment to promoting inclusion and belonging. The review process for applications will commence after the closing date of August 1, 2025.
