The Department of Psychology at Florida International University (FIU) is searching for a non-tenure track full-time instructor position with specific emphasis on Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The position is for a 9-month full-time, non-tenure track teaching faculty. Instructor positions are in-unit faculty positions that are renewable annually, benefits eligible, and eligible for promotion opportunities that mirror those of tenure-track faculty. The department is a leader in pedagogical reform efforts and is focused on improving the quality of undergraduate instruction, particularly in gateway undergraduate courses that affect student success as measured by retention and on-time graduation. Teaching assignments will have an emphasis on both hybrid (i.e., blended) and online undergraduate instruction, based upon the candidate's area of teaching specialization. The position will have an emphasis specifically in Industrial/Organization Psychology and will be expected to teach and perform administrative duties in a new master's program in Industrial/Organization Psychology (pending approval of the program). Candidates will be expected to perform departmental service as full-time members of the department's faculty. A Ph.D. in psychology or a related area is required.
The department is strongly committed to a climate that embraces diversity, and is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity of the academic community through research, teaching, and service. The department has 38 tenure-track faculty, 18 instructors and research/clinical faculty, more than 150 graduate students spread across five doctoral specialty programs and a mental health counseling master's program, 9 full-time undergraduate advisors, and over 4,000 undergraduate majors. The department is young and vibrant, with 30 new hires in the past 5 years.
