Job description

The Department of Psychology at Illinois College invites applications for two full-time positions in Psychology to begin August 2023.

The new professor(s) will teach courses at all levels of the undergraduate curriculum. Areas of particular need include: Intro to Neuroscience, Research Methods, Health Psychology, Sensory and Motor Systems, and Intro to Psychology. Candidates with the ability to teach in any of these areas and who have a passion for undergraduate teaching are strongly encouraged to apply.

Interest in faculty-student research is a plus; demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is essential.

While most teaching is on campus, preference for candidates with experience teaching online. Doctorate preferred; ABD or significant progress toward a doctorate considered.

Since 1829, Illinois College has transformed the lives of undergraduate students. Founded by abolitionists, IC was the first college in Illinois to graduate students and hosts a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. The College is focused on student success and provides many opportunities for faculty-student interaction beyond the classroom, including collaborative research projects, international study-travel, and mentoring/advising. The College is committed to ensuring access and equity.

Illinois College seeks candidates who have a commitment to working closely with a wide range of students. Currently, our population is approximately one-quarter students of color and 40% first-generation college students. Eagerness and ability to work with these populations is essential. Equally important is excellence in evidence-based pedagogy. The typical teaching load at the College is three four-credit courses per semester.

The College is located in historic Jacksonville, Illinois, 30 miles west of the capital city of Springfield and 70 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri.
