Job responsibilities include twelve hours of undergraduate teaching per semester as well as other departmental, college, and university professional responsibilities, including academic advising, student mentoring, scholarly activities, and service. Candidates must be committed to superior teaching, and teaching responsibilities will include a wide variety of courses for psychological science and neuroscience majors and minors and the broader Belmont undergraduate community. These may include General Psychology, Research Methods, Introduction to Neuroscience, Neurobiology, and specialized elective and/or laboratory courses depending on the candidate’s interests and training background. In addition to teaching courses, candidates are expected to engage in scholarly activity and the supervision of independent undergraduate research in an empirically-oriented department with roughly 150 neuroscience majors and minors and 300 psychological science majors and minors. Paid summer research and teaching opportunities are available to further scholarship and/or training activities. Student-led projects are presented yearly at regional and national conferences, including SYNAPSE, regional APA meetings, Society for Neuroscience, and Cognitive Neuroscience Society. At Belmont, a variety of scholarly productivity is valued, including the scholarship of teaching, discovery, integration, and application. Specific experimental psychological science and neuroscience focuses for the positions are open, as well as the models used (human, rat, zebrafish, computational, etc.). For one of these positions, a candidate with experience and/or interest in using fNIRS for human research is desired. In addition to an fNIRS setup, our lab spaces include an EEG suite, eye tracking and BIOPAC psychophysiology, computer software for cognitive experiments, rat housing and behavior apparatuses, brain tissue processing, histology, and microscopy, and an aquatic housing system for zebrafish breeding (and other aquatic species). Applicants must have either earned a Ph.D. in any area of neuroscience, psychology, or related field, or are expected to complete all Ph.D. requirements by August 2027; teaching experience and/or postdoctoral experience is preferred. As all Belmont undergraduates complete an innovative general education program with significant interdisciplinary components, Belmont University is particularly seeking applicants who can demonstrate the interest and ability to work collaboratively in course design and to teach interdisciplinary and topical courses for non-majors.
