Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor - affective science

Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will contribute to a climate that supports students, faculty and staff of all identities and backgrounds. We strongly encourage individuals from underrepresented and/or marginalized identities to apply.

New hires are required to provide documentation showing primary vaccination status (that is, completion of two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) before their first day of work. If a new hire's vaccination is not complete or information is not received by their start date, the first day of work will be delayed. It is possible in some cases that an offer of employment may be withdrawn.

The Department of Psychology at Cornell University invites applications for an open-rank position in affective science research. Area of specialization is open, but we particularly encourage applications from scientists whose research crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries; scientists whose work advances a clinical science or developmental psychopathology perspective; or scientists whose work contains translational and intervention approaches.

The Department maintains close ties with the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research, the Center for Integrative Developmental Science, and the Cornell Magnetic Resonance Imaging Facility. There are numerous additional opportunities for collaboration and affiliation across the university, including the Cornell Center for Social Sciences, the Center for the Study of Inequality, and the Behavioral Economics and Decision Research Center.

Review of applications will begin December 1, 2022 and continue until the position is filled.
