BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE, Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology. The Department of Psychology at Colby College invites applications for a one-year, full-time position in Behavioral Neuroscience to begin September 1, 2024, with the possibility of reappointment for a second year. Teaching responsibilities for this position include introductory and advanced courses in the candidate's area of training, as well as supervision of student independent research. The ability to contribute to the department's methodology and statistics offerings is desirable. The specific area of research is open but we are especially interested in candidates who conduct research using rat models. The successful candidate will have use of our state-of-the art vivarium, laboratory spaces, and equipment, along with financial support for research including paid student research assistants and a full-time lab and research coordinator. We are also interested in candidates who are committed to open and reproducible science.
Colby is a highly selective liberal arts college recognized for excellence in undergraduate education and close student-faculty interaction. We believe the best way to learn the science of psychology is by engaging our faculty and students in a collaborative search for new knowledge about human cognition, emotion, and behavior. To this end, we have a unique curriculum that engages students in research at all levels. The successful candidate will be expected to teach with passion, to be engaged in an active and sustained program of research that contributes to the global effort to advance psychological knowledge, to involve Colby's exceptional undergraduates in that research, and to become an active and engaged member of our academic community. We are especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will promote diversity, equity, and inclusion at Colby.
