The Department of Psychology at Harvard University welcomes applications from new or
recent PhDs for the Harvard College Fellows
Program<https://facultyresources.fas.harvard.edu/college-fellows-program…am>. College
Fellows are teaching-focused postdoctoral positions that consist of approximately 75%
teaching, amounting to three undergraduate courses per year, and 25% research, with
mentorship from a faculty member in the Psychology Department. We are eager to review
applications from new or recent PhDs in any area of empirically-based psychology who have
a strong interest in teaching.
College Fellows will join the Psychology Department's community of scholars who are
committed to excellence in undergraduate education and inclusive teaching. College
Fellows receive intensive pedagogical and course development mentorship through the
Department and Harvard’s Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. Past College Fellows
have developed courses that take full advantage of the extensive resources Harvard
affords, offering courses through the Mindich Program in Engaged Scholarship, designing
projects through which students apply academic knowledge beyond the classroom, securing
innovation funds to explore and expand the boundaries of students’ learning experiences,
and publishing scholarship in pedagogy journals.
We anticipate several College Fellow openings for the 2024-25 academic year (expected
start date of July 1, 2024). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue
on a rolling basis until positions are filled. For more information and application
instructions please visit:
