Description
Position Details: Gustavus Adolphus College invites applications for two full-time, visiting positions in the Department of Psychological Science to begin September 1, 2022. These are one-year appointments, however the department anticipates continued vacancies, and the successful candidate(s) may be considered for reappointment, contingent upon favorable evaluation and the continuing needs of the College.

Institution Information: Gustavus Adolphus College seeks employees who are committed to and will actively contribute to our efforts to celebrate cultural and intellectual richness and be resolute in advancing inclusion and equity. The Gustavus Acts strategic plan renews our commitment to equip students to lead purposeful lives, and to act on the great challenges of our time by diversifying and expanding the Gustavus community and delivering a distinctive and integrated liberal arts education.

Minnesota is home to a vibrant African American community and growing communities of Hmong, Latinx, and Somali peoples, as well as significant numbers of Indigenous people. We believe that representation from all of these groups contributes positively to our student body.

We are committed to fostering a community that embodies the value of a liberal arts education rooted in pluralism. We engage in this work at a coeducational, private, Lutheran (ELCA) College of Swedish immigrant heritage that is a leading residential, national liberal arts institution of 2200 students.

Department Information: The Department of Psychological Science is committed to promoting psychology as a science both for the sake of gaining understanding and for the applications that may emerge as a consequence. For more information, see https://gustavus.edu/psychology/

Major/Essential Functions: The annual teaching assignment for both positions is 7 courses, one of which will be a one-month January Term course determined by the candidate and appropriate to the candidate's expertise.
