| The Department of Psychology at Mount Allison University invites applications for a tenure-track position (at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor) in Psychology with expertise in aging and/or health. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain a balance between excellence in research and excellence in teaching, as Mount Allison University places a high value on both research and teaching and providing research opportunities for undergraduate students. The candidate will be expected to develop and teach courses at different levels in the areas of aging and/or health as well as contribute to the University’s new Interdisciplinary Health Studies program (https://mta.ca/academics/programs-and-degrees/health-studies ). In addition, it would be beneficial if the applicant had the flexibility to be able to teach courses from other areas of psychology such as Personality, (Advanced) Research Methods and History of Psychology. Normal teaching load for a Psychology faculty position is four 3-credit courses (i.e. 2 and 2), with a reduced load within the first three years of the appointment. Essential qualifications for the position include a Ph.D. in Psychology (or near completion), a strong research program with the intent to seek external funding, and a commitment to quality teaching at the undergraduate level. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2022, subject to budgetary approval.
