The Department of Psychology at Elmhurst University invites
applications for a tenure-track, assistant professor position with
an emphasis in Cognitive Neuroscience, broadly defined, beginning
August 2027. The successful candidate will have demonstrated
potential for excellence in undergraduate teaching and mentoring,
and outstanding potential as a professor in a comprehensive liberal
arts setting. The candidate will need to teach upper-level courses
related to their area of expertise (including Cognitive
Neuroscience), as well as lower-level methodology courses (such as
Research Methods in Psychology), and other courses depending on
candidate ability and department need as part of a 3/3 load.
Preference will be given to candidates who can adapt their research
program to a small, liberal arts environment and involve
undergraduate students in their research. In addition, faculty are
expected to contribute to the Department and University through
service activities and advising.
The Department of Psychology serves hundreds of majors and minors, participates in the university’s core curriculum, and supports other programs of study including the nursing program and the new neuroscience major. Candidate materials should demonstrate their commitment to creating an inclusive learning environment for a diverse student body.
