We are seeking a candidate who has expertise in social psychology, community psychology, cross-cultural psychology, or similar field, plus expertise in qualitative methodology. The ideal candidate will have a doctoral degree, a record of peer-reviewed publications, and an active program of research/practice demonstrating knowledge of the field. Further, the ideal candidate would have experience teaching research methods and experience mentoring undergraduate students on qualitative research projects. Preference will be given to candidates who have previous teaching experience.

Bennington is a residential liberal arts college distinguished by its progressive approach to higher education. The College was founded on the principle of active engagement in learning, which is manifest in individualized plans of study developed by students together with faculty. We aim to educate students towards self-fulfillment and constructive social purposes, and we believe that equity, diversity, and inclusivity--in community and in curriculum--are vital to achieving those aims.
Bennington serves a student population inclusive of members of ethnically/racially diverse, international, LGBTQIA+, and disability communities as well as diverse gender identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, and political beliefs. Our staff and faculty also reflect diverse and intersecting backgrounds and identities. All employees are expected to be respectful and responsive to these differences in the service of building community that promotes student and employee success. Each individual (faculty, staff and student) is accountable for upholding these values. The College's approach to pluralism and inclusivity—both as fields of inquiry and practice—is to prioritize flexible thought, and to invite the examination of access, value, power, and privilege through its institutional policies and areas of study. We encourage applications from women and/or candidates from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds and diverse realms of interest and experience to apply.
Candidates should apply online by submitting: a) letter of application that describes teaching experience and professional work, and includes a reflection on the candidate's potential to contribute to an increasingly inclusive and diverse environment through teaching, research, and/or service; b) curriculum vitae; c) teaching statement which includes a description of two (2) proposed courses for Bennington College.
Review of applications will begin on January 15, 2025 and continue until the position is filled. This position requires the successful completion and acceptable results of a background check.
