Job Description

The Department of Psychological Science at Claremont McKenna College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the early Assistant Professor level focused on advanced quantitative methods in a sub-field of psychology (e.g., cognitive, clinical, developmental, organizational and/or social psychology). The successful candidate must hold a Ph.D. in Psychology by the time of the appointment, which begins on July 1, 2025. Candidates should have a strong research record evidencing their use of advanced quantitative methods, have experience teaching undergraduate statistical methods, and show promise for a sustained research program involving undergraduate students.

We are particularly interested in scholars with expertise in advanced quantitative methods that extend existing departmental quantitative strengths. Such modeling methods could include but are not limited to: Clustering, classification, random forest, multilevel, forecasting/longitudinal, Bayesian, nonlinear, etc. We especially encourage applications from scholars who (1) can introduce undergraduates to advanced quantitative methods relevant to both academic and industry related data-science problems and (2) are committed to interdisciplinary research and teaching with the potential to collaborate with existing faculty in Psychological Science and bridge connections with faculty and students in other disciplines (e.g., Data Science, Government/Public Policy, Mathematics, Integrated Sciences, etc.).

The teaching load is two courses per semester. Candidates should be effective in teaching students in a liberal arts setting, characterized by small class sizes and high levels of student interaction. The successful applicant will be able to teach a core course (i.e., Statistics or Research Methods), a lower-level course in their specialty area (e.g., clinical, developmental, cognitive, social, or organizational psychology), and an upper-level course related to quantitative methods that would appeal broadly to students of Psychological Science and Data Science pursuing careers in academics, industry, or consulting. Given our commitment to cultivating an inclusive educational environment, we seek candidates who can demonstrate a commitment to teaching, mentoring, and inspiring students representing a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds, political opinions, genders, races, ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, and religions. Moreover, as part of its commitment to The Open Academy, the College values freedom of expression, viewpoint diversity, and constructive dialogue.

Anticipated annual salary range:

$90,000 - $105,000
