Job Summary
Job Description
The Psychology Department at Ohio University invites applications for a full-time assistant-level tenure-track faculty position in Industrial/Organizational Psychology (I/O) beginning August 2026. Duties include maintaining an active high-quality research program directing graduate student research and experiential learning teaching graduate and undergraduate courses and participating in departmental college and university service. Candidates should have a record of scholarly productivity where evidence of a fundable research program is a plus. Research in the Psychology Department focuses on social cognitive health I/O and clinical psychology topics and the department has a strong history of collaboration across these domains. Indeed I/O at Ohio University has a very long tradition. The department is housed in Porter Hall named after James P. Porter who was the third owner and longest editor of the Journal of Applied Psychology (1921-1942). In the present day Ohio University offers the resources of a large R1 research university while preserving a small-town atmosphere. The department also has a strong online undergraduate program (9th in the U.S. according to U.S. News and World Reports ) and is developing an MS online program in I/O. The College of Arts & Sciences is central to Ohio Universitys transformative learning experience. The foundational instruction for the entire university delivered through the general education and liberal arts curriculum is provided by the College of Arts & Sciences. The college provides the primary instruction for approximately one-third of the majors on campus as well as half of the undergraduate credit hours on the Athens campus. Ohio Universitys main campus located in Athens Ohio has a dynamic residential campus that attracts top-quality students. Athens is a family-friendly and culturally rich community located amidst scenic state parks and a national forest just 75 minutes southeast of Columbus Ohio. The charm of tree-lined brick walkways on the universitys College Green makes you feel as if you are at a small college rather than a large university.
Minimum Qualifications
Candidates must have received a PhD in Psychology or closely related discipline at the time of appointment and demonstrate evidence of research productivity in the field relevant to the position.
Preferred Qualifications
Strong potential for securing external research funding. Ability to contribute to the departments collegial and collaborative environment. Evidence of effective teaching or potential for excellence in teaching.
