Our primary focus is at the junior, Assistant Professor level, but in exceptional circumstances, a more senior hire may be considered. We are interested in candidates with research interests in affective science broadly defined, including but not limited to clinical or health psychology; behavioral or cognitive neuroscience; social, moral, or political psychology; developmental psychology; positive psychology; or the psychology of individual differences. Candidates will contribute to the teaching mission of the university with introductory courses such as Introduction to Psychology, Introduction to Brain and Behavior, or Abnormal Psychology, as well as advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in specific areas of interest.

Interested candidates should submit materials online at http://facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/postings/630 and include a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, and the name and contact information of three referees. Recommenders will be contacted by the University with instructions on how to submit a letter to the website. Review of applications will begin October 1, 2015 and continue until the position is filled.
