Description
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, 2027, 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 more traditional developmental foci, we are excited to consider cross-cultural approaches as well as researchers who address fundamental questions about cognition in non-human animals. 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.
