rights. Review of applications begins October 2 and will continue until the positions are filled. The positions begin August 2024. The
University of Iowa is a leading public university located in Iowa City, a UNESCO City of
Literature with a high quality of life. These faculty positions continue an extended period of departmental investment, highlighted
most prominently by the recent completion of a new Psychological and Brain Sciences Building.
Applications are sought from candidates

behavioral neuroscience, but we will also consider candidates with expertise in social, developmental, or cognitive psychology. Candidates
must have experience teaching at the post-secondary level and must able to teach elementary psychology and a basic undergraduate course on
research methods and data analysis. In addition to teaching introductory and upper-level undergraduate courses, instructional-track faculty

professional activities and service. Applicants must have a PhD in psychology or a related field in-hand by August 21, 2024 to be qualified
for the position.
Evaluation of each candidate’s qualifications will be based on educational and work experiences as described
