Job Description

The Department of Psychological Science invites applications for a one-year, limited term adjunct professor position for the 2025-2026 academic year with a specialty in social, developmental, or biological psychology.

The Department of Psychological Science at Carthage College thrives on community. The candidate will be joining a rich psychology program with a deep focus on the science of psychology. Research methods and statistics are thoughtfully integrated throughout the curriculum. Students leave our program equipped with a skillset that allows them to succeed both in graduate programs and in careers that are not directly related to psychology. Psychology is also a popular major for students pursuing occupational therapy.

Responsibilities:

Teach six courses per year (divided across two semesters), including courses in their area of specialization and a team-taught course in Introduction to Psychological Science.

Qualifications:

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or Psy.D. in psychology (awarded by their start date) and some college-level teaching experience.

Interested candidates should submit a single PDF file including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, 1-3 page statement of teaching philosophy, and the names and contact information of three professional references. Additional questions about this position can be directed to Anthony Barnhart at abarnhart@carthage.edu.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, but for best consideration, applications should be received by June 20, 2025.
