The Department of Psychology at Oakland University (https://www.oakland.edu/psychology/) invites applications for a tenure-track appointment with expertise in QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS at the Assistant Professor level beginning Fall, 2025. Area of specialization is open, but primary research interests should complement those of existing faculty in one or more of our graduate program areas: Community and Behavioral Health, Social/Personality, Evolutionary and Comparative (https://www.oakland.edu/psychology/graduate-programs/).
Qualified applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. in Psychology at the time of appointment, have the ability to teach courses in basic and advanced statistics at the undergraduate and graduate levels, show evidence of a productive research program, and be prepared to mentor graduate students in our rapidly expanding B.A./M.S., M.S., and Ph.D. programs. Candidates with quantitative competencies that broaden the existing expertise of the department are highly encouraged to apply. Candidates must demonstrate experience with, or a commitment to, diversity and inclusion.
Collaborative opportunities are available with several new Oakland University quantitative-focused initiatives and centers, including the Center for Data Science and Big Data Analytics, the Center for Environmental Sustainability and Ethics, the Academic Success Center, and the William Beaumont School of Medicine and Corewell Health System. In addition, well-developed mechanisms are in place for establishing and funding multidisciplinary research across Oakland University.
