The Department of Psychology at NC State University is seeking a tenure-track Assistant Professor to advance research, teaching, and service in Lifespan Developmental Psychology beginning Fall 2027.

We invite scholars who conduct applied developmental research at any stage of the lifespan, including infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and/or aging. While the research area is open, we are especially interested in candidates who bridge the gap between laboratory science and real-world impacts that improve lives in diverse environments using multimodal data. Faculty members in Lifespan Developmental Psychology conduct both basic and applied research spanning the lifespan, with an emphasis on cognitive, socioemotional, and health-related development. The purpose of this position is to complement and extend these existing strengths while contributing to our collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to understanding development across the lifespan.

In this role, you will develop a productive research program that advances understanding of development across the lifespan and contributes meaningful scholarship to the discipline. You will teach and mentor undergraduate and graduate students, helping them develop as scholars and professionals, while contributing your expertise to the continued growth of the Lifespan Developmental Psychology program and the broader discipline.

If you are a scholar in lifespan developmental psychology who is excited to build a meaningful research program, connect laboratory science with real-world impact, engage students through teaching and mentorship, and contribute to a collaborative academic community, we encourage you to apply.

In addition to the core responsibilities of this role, there will be occasional opportunities to take on additional duties. This offers an opportunity to build on your skills, explore new areas, and gain a deeper understanding of the department's operations.

Requires a doctoral degree in Psychology with a Developmental Psychology focus or other related fields.
