Overview
Tulane University, one of the nation’s premier research institutions, seeks a collaborative and interdisciplinary scholar to serve as Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychology within the School of Science and Engineering. The successful candidate will be an internationally recognized scholar who can provide visionary and strategic leadership to elevate the Department’s research, education, and service missions. There is a strong preference for candidates whose research aligns with one or more of the Department’s PhD concentrations in Brain, Cognition, and Developmental Science, Social Psychology, Health Psychology, or the APA-Accredited School Psychology Program. Department Overview
Founded in 1911, the Department of Psychology at Tulane University is committed to advancing understanding of the human mind and behavior through cutting-edge research, evidence-informed teaching and training, and service and engagement with the broader community. Our research spans multiple levels of analysis—from neural bases of behavior to broader social and cultural influences. We seek to generate knowledge that improves the human condition and to train both graduate and undergraduate students in ethical, innovative, and collaborative research practices. The Department offers bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD degrees. Our faculty work collaboratively across disciplines and programs, fostering an environment of mutual support and innovation in research, teaching, and service. We value open communication, shared decision-making, and a culture of respect that empowers faculty, staff, and students to thrive. Dedicated endowed funds to the Department provide regular support for faculty and student initiatives. The Department has strong ties to the Tulane Brain Institute, the Tulane Violence Prevention Institute, and the Louisiana Clinical and Translational Science Center. The Tulane Brain Institute core facilities provide investigators with access to state-of-the-art equipment including MRI, fNIRS, and other imaging equipment. The Department’s unique position, housed with the School of Science and Engineering (SSE), provides exceptional opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and supports the development of cutting-edge research and educational initiatives at the intersection of psychological science and the broader STEM fields. SSE is distinctive as the only academic unit at a major research university to merge the behavioral sciences, physical sciences, life sciences, engineering, and mathematics, which provides an unusually rich environment for innovative programs and interdisciplinary research. Tulane University is a member of the American Association of Universities and is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as an R1 (Very High Research Activity) and Community Engaged university. Tulane offers a collaborative environment for interdisciplinary interactions, a strong public service theme, and a commitment to science as a major thrust of research, scholarship, and education.
