Applications are invited for a full-time tenure-track appointment in Cultural Psychology, at the Assistant Professor level. The successful candidate will have a PhD in Psychology or a relevant field. We are seeking a scholar with extensive research experience in working on the dynamics of culture within a psychological framework. This position is not tied to a specific area of the Graduate Program areas of the Psychology Department, as cultural psychology cuts across many areas of research – cognition, clinical, developmental, personality and social. Applications will be considered from candidates with a strong publication record in the area of cultural psychology, although we particularly welcome applications from those working in the area of mental health, broadly defined. The successful candidate must be suitable for prompt appointment to the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
