Eligible applicants must have a PhD in Psychology or a related field by the start date. Applications in any area of psychology are encouraged, especially from candidates with research interests that are integrative across areas and levels of analysis and applicable to one or more domains of psychopathology or its treatment (i.e., areas in which Professor Nolen-Hoeksema took special interest). Applicants for the initial position, to begin July 1, 2025, should identify one or more Yale faculty members with whom they desire to work during the term of the appointment and include a personal statement, curriculum vitae, writing samples, and letters of recommendation from two to three individuals familiar with the applicant’s research background and promise.

Assistant Professor, African American Studies and Political Science, Psychology, or Sociology
Yale’s Departments of African American Studies, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology invite applicants for multiple positions at the assistant professor level beginning July 2025. These positions are part of a cluster hire in African American Studies and the social sciences. The goal is to deepen empirical scholarship of Black experiences—growing the community at Yale necessary for such scholarship in the process. Applicants’ research should fit within one or both of two broad subfields: 1) Racial Attitudes and Political Participation (e.g., estimating the role of prejudice in politics, topics in sexuality and gender identity, race and attitudes towards climate justice, and/or other relevant subspecializations) and 2) Race, Systems, and Institutions (e.g., the intersections of race and class, race and artificial intelligence, race relations in specific domains such as education, child welfare, public administration, and/or other relevant subspecializations). All applicants will be jointly appointed with African American Studies and either Political Science, Psychology, or Sociology and each successful applicant will work with their hiring departments to construct a mentorship plan designed to optimize the applicant’s ability to navigate the resources of two departments on their path towards promotion. Candidates will be expected to teach courses whose content falls within one or both general areas of research listed above. Candidates who wish to be considered for more than one combination (e.g., African American Studies and Psychology and/or African American Studies and Sociology) should indicate this desire on the cover sheet and apply by the earliest relevant deadline below.

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Developmental Psychology
The Department of Psychology at Yale University invites applications for an open rank (Assistant/Associate/Full Professor) faculty position with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025, to be situated within the department’s Developmental Psychology area. We are particularly interested in scholars who add breadth to our existing developmental offerings while effectively integrating with our generally cognitive approach. In addition to traditional developmental topics and approaches, we will also consider researchers whose work addresses fundamental questions about cognition in other animals (e.g., non-human primates, canids, cephalopods, or insects). Priority will be given to outstanding scholars who contribute effectively to both undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentoring and who are ready to conduct a generative research program. The successful applicant will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Developmental Psychology.

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Social Psychology
The Department of Psychology at Yale University invites applications for two faculty appointments, one of which is expected to be made at the assistant professor rank, and one of which can be made at the assistant professor, associate professor with tenure, or full professor rank, in the area of Social Psychology, beginning July 1, 2025. This position is open to all sub-areas in Social Psychology including, but not limited to, attitudes and social cognition, intergroup relations and group processes, interpersonal & close relationships, emotion, motivation, the self & identity, etc. This position is especially suited for a scholar with interests that afford collaboration with faculty in the other areas of our department (cognitive, developmental, clinical, and neuroscience), and/or with scholars in other schools and disciplines at Yale, such as the School of Public Health, School of Medicine, Jackson School, Law School, and African American Studies. The successful applicant will be expected to teach a service course (a broader psychology course) and/or a smaller seminar (often on the topic of their choosing). Successful candidates will have a demonstrated record of conducting rigorous, innovative, and impactful research, a commitment to teaching and mentoring at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and a desire to work in a dynamic, diverse, and collaborative environment.

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Quantitative Methods in Psychology
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.
