Our unique character - shaped by outstanding academics, facilities and community life - promotes extraordinary student success.


Binghamton merges rigorous academics, distinguished faculty and state-of-the-art facilities to engage and challenge its 18,000 students. The high-achieving Binghamton student body also represents a great diversity of life experiences, from first-generation college-goers to international students. Beyond their talent, these classmates share a desire to shape the future through technology, insight, intellectual exploration and community service.



Job Description:


Binghamton University, State University of New York (SUNY), invites applications for a joint tenure-track assistant professor in Psychology and Africana Studies, with tenure-home in Psychology, to start in Fall 2022.


The search committee is interested in candidates conducting basic or applied research in diversity science which extends the boundaries of current psychological theory and creates new discoveries about experiences of diverse populations. We are especially interested in candidates whose research addresses racial disparities in health and mental health. We are particularly interested in candidates with a commitment to the training of students from groups historically underrepresented in psychology. The successful candidate will join a productive, enthusiastic, and interactive faculty and will contribute to both undergraduate and doctoral student supervision and instruction.


Binghamton University strongly supports and encourages trans- and inter-disciplinary collaborations across departments and colleges. Both Africana Studies and Psychology are in the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences. Harpur College is spearheading a new multi-year cluster hire initiative in the thematic area "Critical Studies in Race and Inequality." Harpur seeks to build a network of scholars who are committed to conducting research on race, racism, ethnicity, social justice, power, and structures of inequality in their diverse fields of specialization. The College is particularly interested in recruiting faculty members who are deeply connected to and integrated into the communities that they study, as a means to build on the strong tradition of engaged scholarship at Binghamton University. More information about this initiative is located on the Cluster Hire webpage: https://www.binghamton.edu/harpur/research/cluster-hire.html


Africana Studies and Psychology are dedicated to advancing equity and inclusion, and in particular to the goal of building a diverse and inclusive teaching, research, and working environment, including a diverse faculty. Evidence of a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion through research, teaching, and/or service will be valued. Potential applicants who share this goal, especially members of groups historically underrepresented in the field and those from non-traditional backgrounds, women, and persons with disabilities, are strongly encouraged to apply.



Requirements:


Applicants should have a PhD in Psychology or a related field. Evidence of the capacity to develop a research program capable of securing external funding is expected. Teaching experience in Psychology is preferred.

History

Binghamton University opened its doors as Triple Cities College in 1946, to serve the needs of local veterans returning from service in World War II. Originally located in Endicott, N.Y., five miles west of the present campus, the fledgling school was a branch of Syracuse University.

Four years later, the college was incorporated into the State University of New York (SUNY) and renamed Harpur College in honor of Robert Harpur, a Colonial teacher, patriot and pioneer who helped settle the area west of Binghamton.

In 1961, the campus moved across the Susquehanna River to Vestal. Growing enrollment and a reputation for excellence soon led to the selection of Harpur College as one of four doctorate-granting University Centers in the SUNY system.

In 1965, the campus was formally designated the State University of New York at Binghamton, and in 1992, Binghamton University was adopted as our informal name.

Mission Statement

Binghamton University is a premier public university dedicated to enriching the lives of people in the region, state, nation and world through discovery and education and to being enriched by partnerships with those communities.

Vision Statement

Binghamton as an institution is dedicated to higher education, one that combines an international reputation for graduate education, research, scholarship and creative endeavor with the best undergraduate programs available at any public university.

We are an academically selective community that shares ideas across departments, disciplines and borders. We encourage faculty, students and staff to ask unexpected questions, foster open dialog and develop innovative solutions to important problems.
