Associate or Full Professor, Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago is continuing to build a new Social Psychology program. The Department invites applications for Associate or Full Professors who are interested in working collaboratively as we develop such a program at the University of Chicago. We encourage all potentially interested applicants to apply.  The new program will benefit from synergies with members of the Department of Psychology, researchers at the Center for Decision Research at the Booth School of Business, as well as the Committee on Education.  Applicants must be social psychologists who are interested in participating in a world-class program that welcomes, respects, and supports a diverse community of scholars. The Department of Psychology and the Division of Social Sciences are committed to the creation and the support of such a program.

Review of applications will begin on October 17, 2022 and will continue until the positions are filled or the search is closed.  Appointments may begin as early as July 1, 2023.

All University departments and institutes are charged with building a faculty from a diversity of backgrounds and with diverse viewpoints, to cultivating an inclusive community that values freedom of expression, and to welcoming and supporting all their members.
