Primary Faculty Position Summary

The Department of Psychology and Communication at the University of
Idaho seeks applications for one open-rank tenure-track or tenured
faculty position in Psychology, with an anticipated start date of
August 2027. Tenure may be granted at the time of hire based on

is negotiable to accommodate needs related to completing or
transferring active research projects.

Candidates applying at the Assistant Professor rank must have a
record of accomplishment consistent with advancement to Associate
Professor, including an established externally funded program of
research. Candidates at the Associate Professor or Professor rank
must demonstrate a sustained record of research productivity,
external funding, and scholarly impact commensurate with
rank.

The successful candidate will have an established, active,
productive, and impactful research program supported by significant
external funding and will be expected to sustain and expand that
program through continued pursuit of major federal funding,
including from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate
courses in Psychology, mentor graduate and undergraduate students,
and contribute service and outreach to the department, college,
university, profession, and broader community. The position will
contribute substantially to research and graduate training in the
Experimental Psychology Ph.D. program and may also support the
master's program in Human Factors Psychology. We seek a colleague
who will contribute to the continued development and growth of
graduate education and research within the department.

Teaching load is negotiable based upon current research experience
and productivity. The successful candidate will receive a
competitive startup package to support the advancement of their
research program.

The department offers a doctoral program in Experimental
Psychology, broadly conceived, as well as in-person and online
master's programs in Human Factors Psychology. The University of
Idaho is a land-grant institution classified as an R1 Doctoral
University. The university is in Moscow, Idaho, approximately eight
miles from Washington State University in Pullman, Washington,
providing opportunities for research collaboration across two major
research universities.

We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in
health psychology, nutrition, addictions, or other areas addressing
the psychological, behavioral, or social determinants of health.
Research programs should be positioned for continued success in
securing major federal funding and may either complement existing
departmental strengths or expand the department's research
portfolio through new areas of expertise.

Candidates must also be able to contribute to courses serving
undergraduate Psychology majors. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in
Psychology or a closely related discipline by the appointment start
date and a demonstrated record of research productivity and success
securing significant external research funding, including current
or recent funding from NIH. Candidates should demonstrate the
capacity to sustain and expand a nationally competitive, externally
funded research program.
