Faculty/Academic Staff
Michigan State University actively promotes a dynamic research and learning environment in which qualified individuals of differing perspectives and cultural backgrounds pursue academic goals with mutual respect and shared inquiry.
The Department of Psychology at Michigan State University is seeking to recruit a faculty member with expertise in intergroup relations for a tenure system appointment at the assistant professor level starting in Fall of 2025. The ideal candidate will have established a strong program of visible research, a history of (or clear potential for) external funding, and a demonstrated commitment to excellence in a) undergraduate and graduate teaching, and b) diversity, equity, and inclusion. We seek a candidate who studies intergroup relations, broadly defined. Specific topics could include, but are not limited to, conflict and reconciliation, prejudice, stereotyping, stigma, social identities, collective action, and social inequalities. The ideal candidate works with sophisticated methodological techniques that will help distinguish MSU Psychology as a leader in the use of advanced methods to understand politics and intergroup relations. These methodological techniques might include, but are not limited to, quantitative longitudinal models, social network analysis, natural language processing models, or large-scale multi-lab experimental studies. The ideal candidate may also have substantive and methodological interests related to intergroup relations outside of those areas listed. Applications from candidates with a demonstrated commitment to open-science practices are encouraged.
The candidate recruited for this position would join an active, intellectually diverse, and productive Department of Psychology.
