[DebBurman, Shubhik]

Dear FUN colleagues

Lake Forest College (Illinois) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience to begin August 2024. We seek a Ph.D. level experimental scientist with expertise in psychology and behavioral neuroscience, broadly construed. As indicated in the title, this is a joint appointment in the Psychology Department and the Neuroscience Program.

Our full ad is listed here<https://foresternet.lakeforest.edu/offices-and-departments/human-resources/assistant-or-associate-professor-of-psychology-x69368>
At Lake Forest College, the quality of a faculty member’s teaching is the most important criterion for evaluation, but an active research program is also important. Candidates will be expected to develop an active research program leading to publication with undergraduates in peer-reviewed journals. Lab space (including a vivarium, if necessary) in a new science center and research start-up funds will be provided. Importantly, an ideal candidate must show how their research can be successful within the constraints of a small, liberal arts college. Candidates who pass third-year review will earn a half-year sabbatical at full pay in preparation for tenure review. We are part of a thriving Chicago area neuroscience community of educators and researchers, and our college enjoys a strong institutional partnership with Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science with easy access to their core scientific research and equipment facilities.
A highly selective liberal arts college located on Chicago’s North Shore, Lake Forest College enrolls approximately 1,700 students from more than 40 states and from more than 100 countries. Lake Forest is one of the most diverse small colleges in the Midwest with nearly 40% of our student body comprised of domestic students of color and international students. The majority of our STEM pool is female and also includes a significant number of first generation and traditionally underrepresented students. Lake Forest College embraces diversity and encourages applications from women, members of historically underrepresented groups, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Lake Forest College has been recognized as a top college by U.S. News & World Report, including #2 in the nation for Social Mobility and #16 as a Best Value College. Princeton Review ranks the College #4 for best science lab facilities, among other top distinctions.
We would be happy to answer any questions about Lake Forest College, our Psychology Department Program and Neuroscience Program, or about the job description itself at psychneurosearch at lakeforest.edu<mailto:psychneurosearch at lakeforest.edu>
Many thanks for your consideration.

Best,
