The one-year term position is renewable for an additional year based on performance and is part of Cornell’s Active Learning Initiative. This initiative supports departments in integrating active learning approaches into their undergraduate curriculum.
The successful candidate will work closely with faculty to develop and implement active learning strategies into diverse undergraduate Psychology courses (approximately two courses per year). Additionally, they will assess the effectiveness of these strategies on student engagement, learning outcomes and sense of belonging. The Postdoctoral Associate also will participate in weekly seminars with other Active Learning Initiative postdocs, receiving training and support in designing and implementing research-based teaching strategies.
The Postdoctoral Associate will be a member of the Department of Psychology, will receive professional mentorship from Department faculty, and will be invited to participate in all Department activities and events. The Postdoctoral Associate is required to be in residence in person at Cornell during the semesters of their tenure.
Applicants must have a PhD in Psychology, Human Development, or in a closely related field, awarded after September 1, 2023. A passion for teaching and teaching innovation is essential. While prior experience with active learning is preferred, it is not required. Additional beneficial but optional skills include programming, computation, and data analysis.
