Open Rank Faculty Positions in Psychology

The Department of Psychology in the College of Science, at the University of Texas at Arlington, invites applications for one tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level and one endowed position (Thompson Chair) at the full or associate professor level. We are seeking candidates with expertise in any area of Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology or closely related fields.

Created in 2000, our I/O Psychology M.S. program follows the scientist-practitioner model, preparing students for applied careers by combining rigorous training in research, quantitative methods, and real-world application. Structured as a two-year cohort, the program emphasizes hands-on learning, including coursework, a required internship, and either a thesis or capstone project. Students gain practical experience through applied projects, data analysis, and consulting-style work, equipping them with skills directly relevant to industry needs. While primarily designed for those entering the workforce, the program also provides a strong foundation for further doctoral study. Overall, graduates leave well-prepared to compete for professional roles by integrating scientific knowledge with practical, evidence-based skills. We continue to recruit high-quality students and produce professional graduates who have gone on to highly successful careers applying I/O psychology in many different settings.

Our department also offers a doctoral program (Ph.D., Experimental Psychology) that has trained research scientists across a range of psychology sub-fields for many years, including psychological sciences (e.g., social, cognitive, and I/O psychology) and neuro/health psychology. Building on this established infrastructure, the department is launching a dedicated I/O Psychology Ph.D. program designed to provide focused doctoral training at the intersection of rigorous scientific inquiry and organizational application. The new program will prepare students for academic and applied research careers through mentored scholarship, advanced graduate seminars, and close faculty collaboration.

In accordance with USCIS regulations, successful applicants must be legally able to accept work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
