Psychology

Location: San Diego, CA
Open Date: May 25, 2023

Description
The Department of Psychology at San Diego State University invites applications for a faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank. This is a full-time, nine-month, tenure-track position to begin August 2024. The successful candidate will establish and/or continue a productive program of research in industrial-organizational psychology.


Qualifications
We are particularly interested in candidates whose central research program addresses workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in organizations and uses sophisticated quantitative research methodologies and data analysis approaches (including, but not limited to, psychometric issues, multilevel modeling, and structural equation modeling). Example research programs include understanding diverse or intersectional identities at work (e.g., racial/ethnic identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic status, ability/disability, aging), addressing bias and mistreatment issues (stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, harassment, incivility), or building an inclusive and equitable workplace through policies and practices (e.g., recruitment, selection, training, leadership and team development, organizational development, program evaluation).

The Psychology Department has a research-oriented MS program in applied psychology with emphases in industrial/organizational and quantitative methodology. The highly-selective, full-time MS program routinely has over 100 applicants with an incoming cohort between 4-7 students to support small graduate seminars and research mentoring in faculty laboratories. A masters thesis is required of all students in the MS program, and faculty are often provided course releases to support their research program. The Psychology Department also has a large and diverse population of undergraduate majors who are able to take up to three undergraduate classes in I-O psychology. I-O psychology is a popular specialty in the department, and undergraduate students are able to earn a certificate, declare a minor, or participate in an emphasis program in I-O psychology. Additional information about the MS program may be found at https://msappliedpsych.sdsu.edu/, and additional information about the Psychology Department can be found at http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu.
