Child or Adolescent Mental Health, Tenure-track Assistant Professor
Colby College

Waterville, Maine
$0.00 - $100.00 per hour


The Department of Psychology at Colby College is hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin in Fall 2025. We seek a colleague with research expertise in experimental psychopathology, developmental psychopathology, or intervention research, focused on children or adolescents. We are particularly interested in candidates with training in child or adolescent mental health care, such as those with a Ph.D. in clinical or counseling psychology. Tenure-track faculty at Colby teach 4.5 courses per year. Teaching responsibilities for this position will include introductory and advanced courses in the candidate's area of psychology and instruction within the department's methodology and statistics sequence. The successful candidate will also supervise independent student research and provide academic/career advising. We are especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will promote diversity, inclusion, and equity at Colby.

Colby College is a highly selective liberal arts college recognized for excellence in undergraduate education and close student-faculty interaction. We believe that the best way to learn the science of psychology is by engaging our faculty and students in a collaborative search for new knowledge about human cognition, emotion, and behavior. To this end, we have a unique curriculum that engages students in research at all levels. The successful candidate will be expected to teach with passion, to be engaged in an active and sustained program of research that contributes to the global effort to advance psychological knowledge, to involve Colby's exceptional undergraduates in that research, and to become an active and engaged member of our academic community. Colby offers generous support for teaching and research, including pre-tenure and post-tenure sabbaticals, annual funds for research and professional travel, and the option of summer research assistant support. For more information about the department, please see our web site at https://www.colby.edu/academics/departments-and-programs/psychology/. The Ph.D. in Psychology or a closely related field should be completed by September 1, 2025. We support our faculty in pursuing licensure, but we recommend completing all supervised hours before beginning the position.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement, a teaching statement that demonstrates a commitment to equitable and inclusive teaching, a summary of teaching effectiveness/evaluations, copies of publications or in-press manuscripts, and three confidential letters of recommendation through Interfolio: apply.interfolio.com/151746. Review of applications will begin October 4, 2024, and will continue until the position is filled. Questions about this search should be directed to Associate Professor Erin Sheets: psychologysearch@colby.edu.
