Forensic Psychology Assistant/Associate/Full Professor

About the role

The School of Interdisciplinary Forensics (SIF) in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences (New College) at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for a full-time, benefits-eligible tenured or tenure-eligible faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in forensic psychology/psychology and law. Salary and rank are based on qualifications at hire. The anticipated start date is August 2027. The faculty member will be a core member of ASU’s Law and Behavioral Science group, an interdisciplinary collective of psychological scientists engaged in research that addresses current and emerging issues facing the legal system in its broadest sense. Information about our Law and Behavioral Science group—including faculty, research labs, academic programs, and events—can be found at https://lbs.asu.edu/. Law and Behavioral Science faculty may participate in university-wide graduate programs. Thus, the successful candidate will join the faculty in SIF and have opportunities to collaborate with faculty across ASU, including colleagues in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, the Department of Psychology, and other behavioral science units. These collaborations will support the continued development of interdisciplinary academic programs and research initiatives in forensic psychology and psychology and law. The area of specialization is open within psychological science applied to law or the legal system. We are, however, especially interested in candidates with expertise in clinical forensic psychology, correctional psychology, or police psychology. Within clinical forensic psychology, expertise in the assessment of people involved in the criminal legal system—including competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility, violence or recidivism risk, forensic neuropsychological assessment, and related forms of forensic clinical evaluation—is particularly desirable. Because this is a tenured or tenure-eligible faculty appointment, candidates with clinical or applied expertise must also demonstrate a strong program of empirical research, with a research record and agenda consistent with appointment to the tenure-track faculty of a research university.

Responsibilities

• Establish and sustain a vigorous program of research.
• Seek external research funding appropriate to the candidate’s research program.
• Create and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in face-to-face, hybrid, and/or online formats.
• Contribute to program curricula, program development, and, as appropriate, to university-wide efforts to train clinical behavioral scientists.
