Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor in Forensic/Legal Psychology

Description

Position Description:

The School of Interdisciplinary Forensics (SIF) in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences (New College) at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for two full-time, benefits-eligible, non-tenure-eligible faculty positions at the rank of Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor to support our undergraduate and graduate programs in forensic psychology.  We are interested in candidates with expertise in one or more areas of psychological science (e.g., behavioral, affective, developmental, cognitive, clinical, cultural, social), as applied to issues facing the law or legal systems.

Assistant/Associate Teaching Professors are expected to teach 12 credits of courses during each of ASU’s fall and spring semesters (i.e., a 4/4 teaching load). While the majority of the teaching responsibilities will serve our online programs, the position may also include on-campus teaching for our campus-based undergraduate programs in forensic psychology. The position further includes course redevelopment and maintenance, assisting with program development, working with graduate student teaching assistants, departmental and professional service, and working with ancillary support services connected to ASU Online.

The Assistant/Associate Teaching Professor will be a member of ASU’s Law and Behavioral Science initiative, one of the largest centers of Forensic and Legal Psychology scholars in the world with over 30 core and affiliated faculty members and nearly 2,000 students enrolled in five degree programs at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels. Information about our group including faculty, research labs, academic programs, and events can be found on our website https://lawpsych.asu.edu.
