Assistant Professor Jobs in Milwaukee, WI

The Department of Psychology at Marquette University invites applications for a Teaching Assistant Professor position beginning August 2027. The area of expertise is open. The position requires teaching four courses per semester with opportunities to reduce course load by engaging in service, such as academic advising of undergraduate students. Opportunities for summer teaching are also available. To reduce the number of new preps, the courses per semester can include multiple sections of the same course (if available), and the two semesters will entail teaching similar courses.

Although research is not required for this position, laboratory resources can be made available for individuals who desire to engage in scholarship.
