Bogaziçi University is actively recruiting for assistant professors

Bogazici University invites applications for tenure-track positions in all areas of psychology. Initial priorities are on behavioral neuroscience, social psychology and developmental psychology, but candidates from other areas are also encouraged to apply. The successful candidate must either be a recent Ph.D. recipient or should receive his/her degree by August 2009 (in Psychology or a related field like Neuroscience). S/he must have demonstrated potential for academic excellence in both teaching and research productivity. The curriculum is in English; however, knowledge of the Turkish language is an asset. The typical teaching load is 2 courses per term. Candidates will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses, develop a strong research program, and supervise both Master’s and Ph.D. level research. Ability and desire to teach statistics and research methods at both undergraduate and graduate levels is a strong asset.

Bogazici University is a very competitive public university in Istanbul, Turkey. It admits students ranked in the top 1000 of approximately 1 million applicants entering a  nation-wide universityentrance exam. The department is committed to academic excellence. Currently the psychology program offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Psychological Sciences (M.A.) and Clinical Psychology (M.A & Ph.D.), with immediate plans to open a Ph.D. program in Psychological Sciences. The department has 3 active research laboratories and a center for psychological services, serving the Istanbul community. Further details about the department and facilities can be found at www.psychology.boun.edu.tr.

Review of applications will begin immediately until the positions are filled. Applicants should send a research statement, a description of teaching interests, a Curriculum Vita, and three letters of recommendation (and a clinical service statement if applicable) to the recruitment committee at bu_psych@boun.edu.tr. Bureaucratic issues make it extremely difficult to hire non-Turkish citizens. Nevertheless, interested parties are encouraged to contact the recruitment committee prior to sending an application package for further details on this matter.
