The Department of Psychology at The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor or tenured Associate Professor or Professor position in decision psychology. We welcome applications from scholars who study human decision making (broadly construed), including but not limited to those who use theoretical, behavioral, computational, and/or neuroscientific methods to examine basic science and/or applied topics. The faculty member would also contribute to teaching undergraduate courses and training graduate students in decision psychology and another area related to their interests: behavioral or cognitive neuroscience, clinical, cognitive, developmental, IDD, quantitative, or social psychology.

We expect the candidate to be open to collaboration with faculty members across the department, the college (e.g., Communication, Economics, Political Science), and the university (e.g., the Fisher College of Business, the John Glenn College of Public Affairs, the School of Environment and Natural Resources), further enhancing the research environment of the university.

Candidates are expected to have a publication record commensurate with career stage and a fundable research program and should also demonstrate a commitment to graduate and undergraduate supervision and instruction. We encourage applications from women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and individuals with a commitment to mentoring underrepresented demographics in the sciences.

The Ohio State University believes in diversity in people and ideas. What Ohio State does matters. And how we do it matters. When we are at our best, we make a real difference to people. We believe that the university should be a place where people can work and learn together in a safe environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, and intimidation. As such, finalists for any faculty position that carries tenure must sign an authorization and disclosure form, which will allow current or prior employer(s) to share information to the University regarding any findings of employment-related misconduct or disciplinary proceedings against a candidate and/or any pending investigations related to alleged misconduct. Such information shall include findings and pending investigations with respect to sexual harassment, violence, or harassment; research misconduct; financial fraud or misconduct; foreign influence violations, grant misuse or misconduct; and/or any other type of finding or pending investigation relating to a candidate’s employer’s policies and rules governing faculty conduct that may reasonably be expected to affect a candidate’s appointment. If the University becomes aware of any past finding of misconduct or pending investigations that were not disclosed, Ohio State will treat that as a serious omission and reserves the right to rescind an offer or terminate employment. https://oaa.osu.edu/faculty-misconduct-reference-check
