About The Position

Oxford College of Emory University invites applications for two full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Psychology, beginning August 1, 2027. The positions are for faculty committed to teaching and mentoring a diverse population of motivated first- and second-year undergraduates, maintaining an active program of scholarship, and engaging in service broadly defined. One position is expected to focus on social psychology, broadly defined. The other is expected to focus on one or more of these areas: social psychology, health and the social determinants of health, community psychology, cognition, applied psychology, or social development. The college is particularly interested in scholars who use survey, qualitative, web-based, computational, or applied methods.
