PTOC Assistant Professor of Psychology Apply now Job no: 559042 Work type: Instructional Faculty – Tenured/Tenure-Track Location: San Diego Categories: Unit 3 - CFA - California Faculty Association, Faculty - Behavioral Sciences, Tenured/Tenure-Track, Full Time Description The San Diego State University Department of Psychology seeks to hire a tenure-track assistant professor with expertise in quantitative
psychology. In particular, we seek a researcher who develops and applies novel quantitative methods to test hypotheses for psychological data collected from experimental, quasi-experimental, intervention/prevention, and/or longitudinal designs. Novel quantitative methods include (but are not limited to) machine learning, data mining, artificial intelligence, network analysis, Bayesian estimation, psychometrics,
advanced structural equation modeling, or advanced multilevel models. Apply via PageUp by Friday, September 18, 2026. Many faculty members in the Psychology department conduct experimental, quasi-experimental, and/or intervention/prevention research. Therefore, the successful candidate will have a unique opportunity to collaborate with a range of researchers and apply newly developed statistical methods to real-world
empirical datasets. Priority will be given to candidates who are interested in collaborating with members of the department across different substantive topics (which include clinical, social, industrial/organizational, cognitive, and developmental psychology). Stated differently, we seek a researcher who is interested in both developing quantitative methods and applying them to real-world data. Importantly, the
faculty in the Department of Psychology at SDSU advocate for a teacher-scholar model that prioritizes a balance between teaching and research. The successful candidate would adhere to this model and therefore teach applied statistics courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The department's course topics in quantitative methods currently include ANOVA, regression, generalized linear modeling,
measurement, structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling, and longitudinal data analysis. The successful candidate would be expected to teach classes on two or more of these topics. The Psychology Department has a PhD program in Clinical Psychology (which is a joint program with the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego), a research-oriented MS program in applied psychology (with
