The Department of Psychologyof the University of Waterloo invites applications for one full-time tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor rank in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. 

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in I/O Psychology or equivalent field (e.g., Organizational Behavior). Ph.D. candidates are welcomed to apply provided they will have completed all degree requirements by the starting date. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated record of published research, experience with teaching and advising, and commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in topics traditionally aligned with Personnel Psychology (e.g., personnel selection, training), yet qualified applicants with interests and expertise in Organizational Psychology topics are also strongly encouraged to apply. Responsibilities will include maintaining a strong research program, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses, supervising graduate and undergraduate student research, and participation in Department and University service. The salary range for this position at the Assistant Professor rank is $90,000 to $120,000 per year commensurate with experience.

This is a particularly exciting time to join the Department of Psychology. Two new Assistant Professors (in Cognitive and Social) have joined us in July 2022, and we are seeking to hire several additional junior faculty members in the near future. Thus, the successful candidate will join a vibrant, active cohort of early career scholars. Our collaborative, inclusive research community welcomes diverse perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas, so that all scholars can feel welcome, heard, and supported to do their best work.

The anticipated start date for the position is July 1, 2023. The closing date for receipt of applications is September 30, 2022. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, reprints or preprints of three recent papers, and the names and contact information for three referees (including their email addresses) to:  ioposition@uwaterloo.ca.
