Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Psychology

Description

The Department of Psychology at Yale University invites applications for a tenure-track, open-rank faculty appointment in the area of quantitative methods in psychology beginning July 1, 2025. We are interested in scholars who can help advance social science research in any subfield of psychology (social, cognitive, developmental, clinical, neuroscience) by developing and employing novel analytical techniques and methods and teaching classes in quantitative methods in psychology. The ideal candidate would be instrumental in building bridges between Psychology, the Department of Statistics and Data Science, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences data-intense social science initiative. We are open to any area of psychology. We are looking for someone who has a strong program of research in a core subfield of psychology and applies sophisticated or novel quantitative methods to their research. For example, a developmental psychologist who advances research by modeling of longitudinal and multilevel data structures, a social psychologist who applies structural data to individual-level analysis, a social psychologist who employs dynamic systems modeling, a cognitive psychologist who uses or develops computational and predictive modeling, a clinical psychologist who focused on ideographic analyses, and so on. These are just a few examples. Ultimately, we seek to find a colleague who uses and advances our understanding of psychological questions with sophisticated quantitative methods. Priority will be given to outstanding scholars who will contribute effectively to research as well as both the undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentoring programs of the University.
