Hello! I'm reaching out to share that the Department of Psychology at
Harvard University is accepting applications to teach in the
Sophomore Tutorial program for the 2024-25 academic year. Tutor positions
are open to advanced graduate students and postdocs/PhD-level instructors
with prior experience teaching. These positions are a great fit for
individuals looking for mentorship on teaching and experience running their
own course. We hope you will consider applying to work with our students!
*Sophomore Tutorial (PSY 971 and 975)* is the centerpiece of the
undergraduate psychology experience. Rather than to teach a particular
domain of content knowledge, the goal of this course, which is taken by all
psychology concentrators, is to teach students how to think, read and write
like a psychological scientist. These small (~8 students) discussion-based
seminars are designed to engage students in reading and discussing
empirical papers, understanding experimental logic, and developing
scientific writing skills. Sections meet two hours a week, with additional
individual student meetings, and there are regular group meetings for all
tutors. The estimated pay is $13,150 per semester. Tutors can apply for
either or both semesters.
To apply, please fill out the attached application and email to me
with electronic signatures. *Review of applications will begin February
15, 2024. *
Please feel welcome to reach out with questions (kpowers(a)fas.harvard.edu).
I'm also happy to connect interested candidates with current tutors to
discuss the course, role, etc.
Best wishes,
Katie
