The selected candidates will teach a core-curriculum course on leadership and other psychology courses. Areas of specialty are open, but the successful candidates will have teaching or research experience, including areas relevant to leadership. Appointments begin August 2026. A Ph.D. (or ABD) in Psychology is required. If the doctorate is not presently in hand, applicants should specifically address when the defense will be held, and the dissertation completed in their cover letter. Typical teaching load is 3:3. All classes will be taught in person at VMI. Applicants must complete an online state application and submit a cover letter that describes their interest in the position, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. A background check is required for the final candidate. Questions should be directed to Dr. Michael LaRocca, laroccama@vmi.edu. VMI is consistently ranked among the top U.S. public liberal arts colleges. All 1,700 undergraduate students live on campus, about half of whom accept commissions as officers in the armed forces upon graduation.
