The Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola University Chicago seeks qualified candidates for an appointment as Assistant Professor beginning Fall 2027. The Department of Psychology currently has 35 faculty (24 tenured or tenure-track and 11 non-tenure track) and offers rigorous, empirically grounded training in psychology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. At the undergraduate level, our department serves 1,200 undergraduate psychology majors plus more than 600 neuroscience majors.

The successful candidate will pursue a strong program of scholarship and engage in service at the department level or above.
