At Hofstra University, intellectual curiosity is not just aspirational – it is central to how we engage on a daily basis. Hofstra faculty work within a diverse scholarly community committed to student success, intellectual discovery, free inquiry, inclusivity, and collaboration. Enrolling more than 10,000 students, Hofstra offers students an array of undergraduate and graduate academic programs spanning the arts, humanities, sciences, business, engineering, law, health care, communications, and more. Our accomplished faculty collaborate with students to explore interdisciplinary questions and produce innovative research that lays the foundation for future personal and professional success. With a beautiful campus in Hempstead, NY, Hofstra's location seamlessly merges the tranquility of coastal suburban living with the boundless opportunities of nearby New York City.

Hofstra University seeks candidates who will contribute to a supportive climate for students, faculty, and staff of all identities and backgrounds. We especially encourage women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, and people with disabilities to apply.

The Department of Psychology at Hofstra University invites applications for two full-time, tenure-track positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, beginning in September 2025. The positions are primarily for the M.A. Program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and the Ph.D. Program in Applied Organizational Psychology, although some undergraduate teaching is available as well. The M.A. program is an applied program that prepares students for careers in such areas as human resources, training and development, management and organization development, and market research. Our applied Ph.D. program also places a strong emphasis on research methods and statistics, as well as topics relating to human behavior in organizations. Students in our programs are active in SIOP, produce scholarly publications and conference presentations, and make practical contributions through local internships. Alumni go on to have impactful careers in top organizations and academic settings.

In addition to graduate and possibly undergraduate teaching in I/O areas, the position requires the development of a research program and supervision of doctoral student research. The successful applicant will have completed a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology or a related area and will demonstrate a strong record of accomplishment in research and teaching, commensurate with rank. Applicants for the position should have strong expertise in research methods and statistics and one or more specialty areas of I/O Psychology. In addition to the ability to teach advanced statistics (e.g., psychometrics, structural equation modeling, multi-level analyses) and research methods, preferred candidates produce scholarship in areas that are unique from and/or complement existing faculty members’ areas of expertise. Applicants who study occupational health psychology, leadership, or the changing nature of work, for example, are of particular interest. We value diversity in all forms and seek applicants with a variety of experiences, interests, and specialties. Given the applied focus of the programs, it is desirable for faculty to incorporate applied topics and projects into their courses and mentoring of students. To accommodate student internships, classes are taught primarily in the evenings, leaving days free to work on research, service, etc. Practical experience working with organizations is desirable, but not required.

There is a variety of collaborative research resources available to psychology faculty on and off campus. A qualified candidate may have shared access to the department’s new neurophysiology lab, which houses a B-Alert X24 20-channel mobile EEG system, BIOPAC functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system and BIOPAC equipment for measurement of skin conductance and heart rate variability. Faculty can also request access to the Behavioral Research in Business Lab, which includes 27 workstations with cameras, audio/voice equipment, eye-tracking capabilities, and a variety of other biometric options. The School of Engineering is currently building a big data analysis lab with an HPC/AI cluster and HPE parallel file system; the initial build (opening in 2023) includes a two-node NVIDIA GPU cluster with plans for a further 2-4 nodes upon grant funding.

Hofstra University is located on Long Island in close proximity to New York City (25 miles east of Manhattan), with its wealth of business, entertainment, and cultural opportunities.
