About the role

We seek candidates who are passionate about excellent undergraduate teaching. The teaching load is 3 classes in Fall, 1 class in January term, and 3 classes in Spring. The successful candidate can expect to teach one or more courses related to their specific area(s) of expertise as well as an undergraduate course in Research Methods. The Psychology Department at Augustana University is a very collegial and supportive team of typically six full-time faculty members whose expertise spans counseling, educational, social, cognitive, and developmental psychology and neuroscience. Psychology is popular among AU students as a major and as a minor. Students majoring in Psychology have the opportunity to graduate with an emphasis in counseling/clinical psychology, which incorporates a hands-on practicum experience at one of many locations in Sioux Falls, or with an emphasis in research, which includes a semester doing directed research in a faculty member’s lab and may include completing a culminating independent honors project. The Psychology Department faculty strongly value the liberal arts and value interdisciplinary connections in teaching and research. We contribute courses to interdisciplinary programs including the Neuroscience major/minor; as well as minors in Children & Youth; Aging Studies; Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies; and Genetic Counseling.
