The Department of Psychology at Dickinson College invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in Health Psychology to begin Fall 2017. We seek a psychologist whose research program focuses on the mechanisms, biomarkers, or consequences of biopsychosocial processes involved in human physical health. Preference will be given to applicants whose research and teaching emphasize biological aspects of health. The successful candidate will teach an introductory course in Health Psychology, an advanced research methods course in Health Psychology, and a senior seminar in the candidate's area of expertise. The candidate will also teach, on a rotating basis with other psychology faculty, Analysis of Psychological Data (statistics), and first year seminar. Introductory courses have a capacity of 35 students and seminars have a capacity of 15 students. Teaching load is five courses across the academic year. We expect a strong commitment to teaching in a liberal arts environment and the ability to involve undergraduates in research. The Psychology Department's research-rich curriculum aims to increase students' abilities to understand and produce psychological research and to recognize and critically evaluate claims about psychological phenomena (http://www.dickinson.edu/homepage/44/psychology/<https://exmail.dickinson.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=0IpPIFxdQkO312FAq_ZYFspYzJaOctMIhnRc5wAnh04PJyt0l5g-IrvjPpHOUjDyJ7W-OGVMthc.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.dickinson.edu%2fhomepage%2f44%2fpsychology%2f>). Given that all health psychology courses will serve as electives for the interdisciplinary Health Studies Certificate Program, the successful candidate will be a contributing member of that program. The Health Studies Program at Dickinson focuses on biological, interpersonal, and societal dimensions of health and illness, and provides students with opportunities to explore health from an interdisciplinary perspective (http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20120/health_studies). As contributing faculty, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to share in the governance of the HEST program and will be encouraged to contribute to the teaching of the HEST core courses (HEST 200/400). Dickinson College is a highly selective four-year, independent liberal arts college with 2300 students. It is located 20 minutes west of Harrisburg, PA, and is a two-hour drive from Baltimore, Washington DC, and Philadelphia. The ability to create inclusive learning environments for an increasingly diverse student body will be an important characteristic of the successful candidate.
