Pomona College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in the Department of
Psychological Science beginning Fall 2023. The position is at the assistant professor
rank. We seek candidates who show commitment to excellence in teaching and an active
research program that involves undergraduate students. While the specific area of
specialization within developmental psychology is open, we are particularly interested in
candidates whose work focuses on early development from infancy through pre-adolescence.
Furthermore, candidates whose scholarship addresses the social and cultural experiences of
children within families, schools, or communities will be highly valued. Finally, we value
a range of methodological approaches including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed
methods work.
Teaching load is two courses per semester. It is expected that two of these courses will
include developmental psychology and a seminar in the candidate’s specialty area. The
successful candidate will also be expected to contribute a foundational course
(introduction to psychological science and/or statistics) and to supervise senior theses.
Applicants are also encouraged to describe the foundational and advanced courses they are
prepared to teach in their cover letter and teaching statement. Furthermore, the
successful candidate will have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds
and a demonstrated commitment to improving higher education for underrepresented groups.
Pomona College, the founding member of the Claremont Colleges consortium, is a highly
selective liberal arts college attracting an economically and geographically diverse
student body and has a generous sabbatical policy and internal support for faculty
research.
Please submit to Academic Jobs Online<https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22193>
the following materials: a) cover letter, b) vitae, c) three brief statements addressing:
teaching philosophy and experience; scholarship; and demonstrated ability to mentor a
diverse student body, d) three representative reprints or pre-prints, and e) three letters
of recommendation. To receive full consideration, applications should be submitted by
October 15, 2022.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact the chair of the search committee, Dr.
