University of British Columbia - Okanagan Campus

Department of Psychology - Three Assistant Professor positions in Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience, Health Psychology, or Developmental Psychology
Job ID #36121

The Department of Psychology, Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus, invites applications for three tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in the areas of Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience, Health Psychology, or Developmental Psychology (all broadly defined). With these hires we hope to cover three of the four areas outlined above; that is, we would prefer not to hire two people from the same research area. The successful candidates will have a PhD in Psychology and will become members of the Department of Psychology (http://psyo.ok.ubc.ca/welcome.html). The appointments are expected to start on July 1, 2020, or soon thereafter.
Candidates will demonstrate evidence of commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and the promotion of a respectful, collegial, and conducive learning and working environment. The successful candidates will teach in the core areas of Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience, Health Psychology, or Developmental Psychology, and have a demonstrable commitment to teaching excellence. Candidates will have a competitive record of scholarly contributions in their respective field of research, and the ability to establish a strong externally-funded research program. The successful candidates have the opportunity to contribute to further development of the curriculum, supervise undergraduate and graduate students, and fulfill service obligations to the University and community.

The Department of Psychology, at UBC's Okanagan campus, is a dynamic and highly interdisciplinary department of more than 20 faculty members with research clusters in health and neuropsychology as well as active engagement in the scholarship of teaching.

The Department is housed in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences. The Faculty is undergoing a transition that will result in the formation of an autonomous Faculty of Science and an autonomous Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in 2020. The new Faculties will contain both discipline-based and interdisciplinary programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.  Our collegial learning environment focuses on effective teaching, critical and creative scholarship, and the integration of scholarship and teaching.  We are committed to an ethos of local involvement, global engagement, and intercultural awareness and we provide a positive, inclusive, and mutually supportive working and learning environment for all our students, faculty, and staff.
