Graduate teaching assistant job in Washington, PA
The Psychology Department at Washington & Jefferson College (W&J) invites applications for a three-year visiting assistant professor position with specialty area open. Applicants should possess or be close to completing a doctorate degree. The position begins July 1, 2026.
The Psychology Department participates in a wide range of interdisciplinary programs including Neuroscience, Gender and Women's Studies, Forensic Science, Conflict and Resolution Studies, Child Development and Education, and Nursing. Our teaching generally takes an interdisciplinary approach to the mind, brain, or human experience, with an emphasis on empirical methods.
In addition to teaching introductory psychology courses, the successful candidate will have the option to offer upper level courses in their area of specialty, including a capstone research laboratory experience. The successful candidate also will, if they are interested, have opportunities to develop courses around interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary interests with other interdisciplinary programs at the college.
We value the time, effort, and energy it will take to adjust to campus in a visiting faculty role. We have been successful at having only a single new course preparation a semester for first year faculty. We also share our course syllabi, activities, and materials as you develop your courses. Teaching, like other skills, can always be improved, which is why we include peer observations as part of our mentoring process for new faculty members. In addition to offering constructive feedback to the faculty member being observed, the observer inevitably discovers at least one new idea to try in their own classes. We grow in our teaching through collaboration and idea-sharing, and we will ensure that you are well supported to succeed in teaching our increasingly diverse undergraduate student population. Our community matters here. That is why we provide mentoring to all first-year faculty. Faculty are paired with a faculty mentor either from inside or, when possible, external to the department. We value the interdisciplinary aspect that comes with a liberal arts education; learning the perspectives and experiences from your colleagues can only serve to make you a better professor.
We have lab space you can use to continue your research and scholarly activity that involve the hands-on inclusion of undergraduate students. Opportunities to include undergraduate students in your research is supported through guided research courses (PSY-315) which can be offered as part of your teaching load.
At Washington & Jefferson College, we are constantly working to ensure that all forms of diversity and inclusion are valued and acknowledged on our campus. Our Strategic Plan 2030 includes a priority to "promote resilience, well-being, and an inclusive community, preparing students to become innovative, adaptable leaders," and we welcome applications from candidates who would help us fulfill this goal.
We are seeking a colleague who brings their own perspective to our collective efforts to teach and mentor young people from a variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance. Pursuant to the College's vision for cultivating an inclusive community, the search committee asks all applicants to address in their teaching statement how their past and/or potential contributions might serve to build W&J's commitment to teaching and mentoring our growing diverse population; and how their experience and interests blends with interdisciplinary areas of study.

Washington & Jefferson College 4.0
Graduate teaching assistant job in Washington, PA
The Psychology Department at Washington & Jefferson College (W&J) invites applications for a three-year visiting assistant professor position with specialty area open. Applicants should possess or be close to completing a doctorate degree. The position begins July 1, 2026.
The Psychology Department participates in a wide range of interdisciplinary programs including Neuroscience, Gender and Women's Studies, Forensic Science, Conflict and Resolution Studies, Child Development and Education, and Nursing. Our teaching generally takes an interdisciplinary approach to the mind, brain, or human experience, with an emphasis on empirical methods.
In addition to teaching introductory psychology courses, the successful candidate will have the option to offer upper level courses in their area of specialty, including a capstone research laboratory experience. The successful candidate also will, if they are interested, have opportunities to develop courses around interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary interests with other interdisciplinary programs at the college.
We value the time, effort, and energy it will take to adjust to campus in a visiting faculty role. We have been successful at having only a single new course preparation a semester for first year faculty. We also share our course syllabi, activities, and materials as you develop your courses. Teaching, like other skills, can always be improved, which is why we include peer observations as part of our mentoring process for new faculty members. In addition to offering constructive feedback to the faculty member being observed, the observer inevitably discovers at least one new idea to try in their own classes. We grow in our teaching through collaboration and idea-sharing, and we will ensure that you are well supported to succeed in teaching our increasingly diverse undergraduate student population. Our community matters here. That is why we provide mentoring to all first-year faculty. Faculty are paired with a faculty mentor either from inside or, when possible, external to the department. We value the interdisciplinary aspect that comes with a liberal arts education; learning the perspectives and experiences from your colleagues can only serve to make you a better professor.
We have lab space you can use to continue your research and scholarly activity that involve the hands-on inclusion of undergraduate students. Opportunities to include undergraduate students in your research is supported through guided research courses (PSY-315) which can be offered as part of your teaching load.
At Washington & Jefferson College, we are constantly working to ensure that all forms of diversity and inclusion are valued and acknowledged on our campus. Our Strategic Plan 2030 includes a priority to "promote resilience, well-being, and an inclusive community, preparing students to become innovative, adaptable leaders," and we welcome applications from candidates who would help us fulfill this goal.
We are seeking a colleague who brings their own perspective to our collective efforts to teach and mentor young people from a variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance. Pursuant to the College's vision for cultivating an inclusive community, the search committee asks all applicants to address in their teaching statement how their past and/or potential contributions might serve to build W&J's commitment to teaching and mentoring our growing diverse population; and how their experience and interests blends with interdisciplinary areas of study.
