Job
Description The Psychology Department at Ohio University invites applications for a full-time, assistant-level,
tenure-track, faculty position in
Industrial/Organizational Psychology (I/O) beginning August
2026.
Duties include maintaining an active, high-quality, research program, directing graduate student research and
experiential learning, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses, and participating in departmental, college, and university service.
Candidates should have a record of scholarly productivity, where evidence of a fundable research program is a
plus.
Research in the Psychology Department focuses on social, cognitive, health, I/O, and clinical psychology topics
and the department has a strong history of collaboration across these domains. Indeed, I/O at Ohio University has a very long tradition. The
department is housed in Porter Hall, named after James P. Porter, who was the third owner and longest editor of the
Journal of Applied
Psychology (1921-1942). In the present day, Ohio University offers the resources of a large R1 research university, while preserving a
small-town atmosphere. The department also has a strong online undergraduate program (9th in the U.S. according to
U.S. News and World
Reports ) and is developing an MS online program in I/O.
The College of Arts & Sciences is central to Ohio
University's transformative learning experience. The foundational instruction for the entire university, delivered through the general
education and liberal arts curriculum, is provided by the College of Arts & Sciences. The college provides the primary instruction for
approximately one-third of the majors on campus, as well as half of the undergraduate credit hours on the Athens
campus.
Ohio University's main campus, located in Athens, Ohio, has a dynamic residential campus that attracts
top-quality students. Athens is a family-friendly and culturally rich community located amidst scenic state parks and a national forest just
75 minutes southeast of Columbus, Ohio. The charm of tree-lined brick walkways on the university's College Green makes you feel as if you
are at a small college rather than a large university.
Minimum Qualifications Candidates must
have received a PhD in Psychology or closely related discipline at the time of appointment and demonstrate evidence of research productivity
in the field relevant to the position.
Preferred Qualifications Strong potential for securing
external research funding.
Ability to contribute to the department's collegial and collaborative
environment.
Evidence of effective teaching or potential for excellence in teaching.
