Date of Appointment: Fall 2024

Description of Responsibilities:

• Will be expected to teach undergraduate courses in cognition and statistics, and to develop a research program that incorporates undergraduate students. We are especially interested in candidates who have a specific research focus on linguistics. Candidates should incorporate diverse perspectives in courses to promote research skills and careers for underserved populations.

SUNY Oswego works continuously to create an inclusive environment which respects, embraces, and promotes cultural safety, belonging, civil discourse, cultural humility, and other values and goals outlined in SUNY Oswego's Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Plan. As such, the incumbent is expected to contribute to these efforts and possess communication and interpersonal skills necessary to engage effectively with an increasingly diverse community of students and colleagues.


Requirements:

Required Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in psychology or a related field, ABD candidates with degree completion by August 2024 will be considered.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience teaching undergraduate courses and mentoring undergraduate students in research. Post-doctoral training.

At SUNY Oswego we value the diversity found in each member of our campus community and strive to create a community where that diversity is embraced and enhanced. Recognizing the strength of diversity, our mission is to foster an environment which respects, embraces and promotes cultural competence, civil discourse and active engagement in developing an inclusive and vibrant community of scholars who act as transformational agents of change and responsible citizens of the world. For more information see SUNY Oswego's Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Plan.

As a candidate seeking consideration you are asked to submit a separate statement specifically addressing how your commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion has been evidenced in your career experience and professional activity, and/or community service (volunteer work, etc.), and/or professional development. (Please see Application Instructions).

In diversity statements, candidates should consider how they might:

• Modify/develop courses and research programs that reflect and emphasize the backgrounds of persons from historically disadvantaged, oppressed, or stigmatized populations.
• Utilize an 'inclusive pedagogy and mentoring style' in day-to-day experiences with students from all backgrounds, but especially with diverse populations of students who may benefit considerably from daily (rather than occasional) contact with a faculty member who is fluent in the issues and topics germane to students from underrepresented backgrounds.
• Translate sometimes 'abstract' scholarly findings into applied (i.e., 'real-world') solutions towards promoting diversity and inclusion.
• Rely on their own personal educational journeys and more general life experiences to mentor a heterogeneous population of SUNY Oswego students who are perhaps encountering challenges as college students in a largely homogenous area of New York state.
• Alter the climate more broadly at SUNY Oswego (i.e., through teaching, research, and service) so that awareness is raised of systemic issues that hamper or promote acceptance of diversity and inclusion.
• Collaborate with faculty, staff, and students over time to address issues of diversity and inclusion in a positive, healthy, and constructive way so that all members of our community feel included in ongoing conversations and movements towards equality

Candidates are also encouraged to submit outside evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g.,teaching portfolios).
