Job Details

The Department of Psychology at The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate Professor or Professor faculty position in diversity science. We welcome applications from scholars who address topics relevant to diversity and health equity in their research and teaching/training, including but not limited to prejudice, implicit bias, neural processes underlying biased perceptual processing, sampling bias, measurement bias, measurement development, physical and mental health disparities, and treatment bias in medical and mental health. As such, the scholar could be hired into any one of our department training/research areas including social, developmental, quantitative, clinical, cognitive, or behavioral neuroscience and could affiliate with a cross-cutting initiative in the department such as cognitive neuroscience or decision psychology. The scholar would extend our department work in diversity by providing research and training opportunities to our undergraduate and graduate students. We seek a scholar with good prospects of external support. We seek applications from faculty at all ranks and encourage applications from ABDs, postdocs, and those with established scholarly records.

Through the Race, Inclusion and Social Equity (RAISE) initiative, Ohio State is enhancing our world-class research program on race, inclusion, and social equity. Over the next decade, the university will add at least 50 tenure-track faculty members to existing scholars whose research can help to narrow social disparities in educational attainment, health outcomes, rates of incarceration, political representation, environmental impacts, and economic well-being. Adding scholars in focused areas will enhance the University’s outstanding faculty and inform solutions to intractable issues. RAISE is part of Ohio State’s larger initiative to expand the size and impact of Ohio State’s faculty over the coming decade, while also enhancing academic and personal resources to support Ohio State scholars, educators, and practitioners through all phases of their careers.

Qualifications:

Candidates must have earned a PhD in psychology or a related field prior to the start date (August 14, 2023). ABDs are welcome to apply. Candidates are expected to have a publication record commensurate with career stage and a fundable research program and should also demonstrate a commitment to graduate and undergraduate supervision and instruction. Successful candidates should also articulate their potential contributions to the department’s commitments to inclusive excellence through their research, teaching and/or outreach and engagement. We encourage applications from women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and individuals with a commitment to mentoring underrepresented demographics in the sciences. Appointment is contingent on the university’s verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or university policies, including but not limited to a criminal background check.

The Ohio State University believes in diversity in people and ideas. What Ohio State does matters. And how we do it matters. When we are at our best, we make a real difference to people. We believe that the university should be a place where people can work and learn together in a safe environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, and intimidation. As such, finalists for any faculty position that carries tenure must sign an authorization and disclosure form, which will allow current or prior employer(s) to share information to the University regarding any findings of employment-related misconduct or disciplinary proceedings against a candidate and/or any pending investigations related to alleged misconduct. Such information shall include findings and pending investigations with respect to sexual harassment, violence, or harassment; research misconduct; financial fraud or misconduct; foreign influence violations, grant misuse or misconduct; and/or any other type of finding or pending investigation relating to a candidate's employer's policies and rules governing faculty conduct that may reasonably be expected to affect a candidate's appointment. If the University becomes aware of any past finding of misconduct or pending investigations that were not disclosed, Ohio State will treat that as a serious omission and reserves the right to rescind an offer or terminate employment. https://oaa.osu.edu/faculty-misconduct-reference-check
