Postdoctoral Fellow and Assistant Professor (Psychological and Brain Sciences)

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College invites applications for a Faculty Fellow, a two-year residential postdoctoral appointment, that will convert automatically to a regular full-time tenure-track appointment as Assistant Professor. Faculty Fellows are part of a cohort of faculty committed to increasing diversity in their disciplines. We are interested in applicants whose research can connect to and/or bridge between any foci in our department including behavioral, cognitive, social and affective psychology and neuroscience. We are especially interested in candidates who have a demonstrated ability to contribute to Dartmouth’s diversity initiatives in STEM research, such as the Women in Science Program, E. E. Just STEM Scholars Program, and Academic Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (ASURE). For more information about our department, see: https://pbs.dartmouth.edu/.

Our department offers the best of a well-resourced, externally funded research university environment along with the integrative, collaborative, cross-disciplinary nature of a liberal arts institution. In particular, our state-of-the-art research and teaching facility houses human cognitive/social neuroscience and small-animal behavioral/systems neuroscience in the same community. Dartmouth is highly committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive population of students, faculty, and staff. We are especially interested in applicants who are able to work effectively with students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds, including but not limited to: racial and ethnic minorities, women, individuals who identify with LGBTQ+ communities, individuals with disabilities, individuals from lower income backgrounds, and/or first-generation college graduates. The application includes a diversity statement where applicants should address how their teaching, research, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Applicants should have a PhD in Psychology or Cognitive, Behavioral, Systems Neuroscience, or a related field; or be ABD with PhD expected before the start date of their appointment as Faculty Fellow, anticipated to be July 1, 2022.

Please submit a letter of application, CV, research statement, teaching statement, diversity statement, and names and contact information for 3 references via Interfolio. Review of applications will begin November 1, 2021 and continue until the position is filled.
