We are interested in applicants whose research can connect to and/or bridge between any foci in our department including behavioral, cognitive, social and affective psychology and neuroscience.

Just STEM Scholars Program, and Academic Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (ASURE). For more information about our department, see: https://pbs.dartmouth.edu/.

Our department offers the best of a well-resourced, externally funded research university environment along with the integrative, collaborative, cross-disciplinary nature of a liberal arts institution.

Dartmouth is highly committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive population of students, faculty, and staff. We are especially interested in applicants who are able to work effectively with students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds, including but not limited to: racial and ethnic minorities, women, individuals who identify with LGBTQ+ communities, individuals with disabilities, individuals from lower income backgrounds, and/or first-generation college graduates. The application includes a diversity statement where applicants should address how their teaching, research, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth’s commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Applicants should have a PhD in Psychology or Cognitive, Behavioral, Systems Neuroscience, or a related field; or be ABD with PhD expected before the start date of their appointment as Faculty Fellow, anticipated to be July 1, 2022.
