Tenure Track Assistant Professor - Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, at Texas A&M University invites applications for a full-time tenure track assistant professor position with a 9-month academic appointment to begin in Fall 2025. This position focuses on cognition or social neuroscience, complementing departmental strengths with an eye toward our growing research and student profile.  The research area is open, but would preferably center on areas of existing strength in the department including learning and memory, perceptual information processing, executive function, cognitive development across the lifespan, emotion and emotion-cognition interactions, existential psychology, self and identity, health disparities, and motivated behaviors.  Priority will be given to candidates whose research program robustly incorporates magnetic resonance imaging techniques and could take advantage of the resources offered by the recently established Texas A&M University Human Imaging Facility (HIF).

The successful candidate will engage in research, grant applications, and funded projects, teach courses in our graduate and undergraduate programs, and act as an engaged citizen of the department, college, university, and in their field. We seek candidates who are well-positioned to publish in top-tier peer reviewed journals in their fields and to obtain grants from federal agencies and/or private foundations. Typical teaching loads for the department are 3 courses per year, distributed across undergraduate and graduate programs; evidence of teaching effectiveness is a plus. 

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Texas A&M University is a community of scholars committed to generating scientific discoveries in the discipline, providing rigorous and inspiring undergraduate and graduate education, and engaging in outreach about psychology and the application of psychological science. We value collaboration, with many faculty having grants and research projects with colleagues inside and beyond the department. The Department has numerous programs to support early career faculty, including a formal mentoring program.  

We offer doctoral programs in clinical psychology, cognition and cognitive neuroscience, social and personality psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and behavioral and cellular neuroscience, and a Master's program in industrial/organizational psychology.  We currently have 50 full-time faculty, over 100 PhD students, and approximately 2,000 undergraduate majors.
