Position description

The Department of Psychology and Social Behavior at the University of California, Irvine seeks candidates for the position of Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment (Lecturer PSOE). Lecturer PSOE is a full-time faculty position designed for individuals who wish to focus their careers on teaching, professional activities, and University and community service. These individuals are not evaluated on their research. Lecturers PSOE are members of the University of California Academic Senate and have all the usual benefits of Senate membership, such as eligibility for UC Irvine’s attractive faculty housing programs, medical insurance, and retirement benefits. Like assistant professors, Lecturers PSOE are evaluated for reappointment and merit salary increases every two years and within eight years (or less) are evaluated for promotion to Lecturer with Security of Employment (Lecturer SOE), which has the permanence of a tenured position.

The Department is seeking someone to teach undergraduate courses in one or more of the areas covered by the department including health psychology, developmental psychology, social/personality psychology, affective science, psychopathology/clinical psychology, and psychology and law. The individual will also be expected to teach undergraduate courses on quantitative research methods, introductory statistics, and a writing-intensive, observational research course. Ability to teach graduate statistics or research methods is not required but would be valued.

To ensure that your application is given full consideration, files must be received no later than November 15, 2014. Priority will be given to applications received by this date; however, applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Candidates must have a doctoral degree in psychology or related field and evidence of outstanding teaching.

Candidates should submit a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, a statement describing teaching experience and approach, evidence of outstanding teaching performance (including detailed syllabi for courses previously taught and teaching evaluations, if available), and arrange to have three letters of recommendation uploaded electronically. A separate statement that addresses past and/or potential contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion should also be included in the application materials.
