The Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis invites applications for an Assistant Teaching Professor position that will begin July 1, 2025. The Assistant Teaching Professor position is a full-time Academic Senate faculty position with potential for security of employment akin to tenure. Applicants should demonstrate a record of teaching excellence in Psychology, a record of scholarship in teaching and learning (SoTL), and the potential to contribute to the scholarly, mentoring, and service missions of our Department and University. We seek applications from individuals with expertise in research-informed pedagogy to improve the inclusivity and effectiveness of instruction for all students, including those from underserved populations. Applicants from all fields of Psychology are encouraged to apply; priority will be given to those who are excited by the challenges and rewards of teaching large introductory courses. Assistant Teaching Professors are evaluated for promotion to Associate Teaching Professor (a title with security of employment similar to tenure) no later than 8 years from the initial hire. Teaching Professors are Academic Senate faculty members whose primary responsibility is teaching and teaching-related tasks but who are also expected to engage in significant teaching-related scholarship (e.g., research on pedagogical methods) and professional activity (e.g., giving workshops). The faculty in this series also have responsibility for University and public service. Teaching Professors are expected to collaborate broadly with other faculty and engage in a spectrum of teaching-related activities that will positively impact instructional effectiveness across the entire department. This involves playing a leadership role as facilitators and initiators of instructional development, curriculum design, innovative course structure, effective teaching methods, and new educational technologies. Teaching Professors are evaluated on their (1) teaching excellence, (2) professional and/or scholarly achievement and activity in the field of pedagogy or a closely related subfield of psychology, (3) service, and (4) contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion. UC Davis is one of the country's leading research universities and also has a diverse student population; it is an emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution, with a majority of students identifying as members of historically marginalized groups, and over 40% of the students being first-generation college students. We seek candidates with exceptional potential for teaching and a commitment to diversity and inclusion. In addition to being exceptional teachers and scholars, successful candidates will help advance UC Davis's goal of improving access and building an inclusive community for all marginalized communities. The successful candidate will demonstrate an understanding of the barriers preventing full participation of members from student communities historically excluded from higher education, including (but not limited to) individuals marginalized due to their race or ethnicity, LGBTQIA+ status, neurodiversity, veteran status, disability, economic disadvantage, first-generation scholars, and undocumented status. The successful candidate will also have a track record (calibrated to career stage) of teaching or service activities addressing the needs of individuals historically excluded from higher education, and a clear vision of how their work at UC Davis will contribute to the University's mission of serving the needs of our diverse state and student population. Applicants are required to submit evidence of teaching excellence (i.e., a teaching statement describing their experience as well as perspectives and practices related to effective teaching, a chronological list of all teaching experience, a teaching portfolio with three examples of instructional materials, and recent peer or student evaluations); evidence of scholarly contributions (i.e., a statement describing their current and planned scholarship and a scholarship portfolio with three examples of publications, workshops, or posters); and evidence of contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion (i.e., a DEI statement describing their track record of engagement and activity related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and their plans for future engagement; see https://academicaffairs.ucdavis.edu/guidelines-writing-diversity-statement for guidance and information about the university's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
