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 college seeks faculty who will teach and mentor a diverse population of motivated first- and second-year undergraduates, maintain an active program of scholarship, and participate 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 the following 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.

Oxford College faculty teach three undergraduate courses per semester, or the equivalent, including a first-year Discovery Seminar every other year. At least one hire is expected to be prepared to teach Social Psychology. Both hires will teach Introduction to Psychology and a course in their area of expertise aligned with the college’s needs. Candidates prepared to teach an introductory statistics course are encouraged to note this in their cover letter.

It serves approximately 1,000 first- and second-year students through an intensive liberal-arts program on Emory’s original campus in Oxford, Georgia, 36 miles east of Atlanta.
