About WSU, Pullman, CAS, and Department of Psychology: Washington State University, a land grant, multiple-campus Research 1 institution.  This position will serve on the Pullman campus, which has an enrollment of around 20,000 students and is located in Southeastern Washington on the homelands of the Nimíipuu  (Nez Perce) Tribe and Palus people. Located 80 miles south of metropolitan Spokane, Pullman is also a quick drive away from the scenic Idaho panhandle and Moscow Mountain. The rolling hills of the Palouse offer a wide range of activities and a true four-season climate. The area provides ample opportunity to enjoy the cultural and academic hub of both Washington State University and the University of Idaho, in the neighboring town of Moscow, Idaho.

Encompassing more than 30 departments, schools, and research institutes on five campuses statewide, the College of Arts & Sciences is the heart of WSU. Together our 730+ faculty and staff deliver more than 50% of WSU’s total undergraduate and graduate instruction, including the vast majority of WSU’s core curriculum. We also drive annual research expenditures of more than $26 million, with wide interdisciplinary strengths in public and community health, environmental change, equity and social justice, and data and technology at the boundaries. As Arts & Sciences begins its 10th anniversary as a unified college, we seek to lead a reimagining of WSU’s land-grant mission for the 21st century, expanding the boundaries of creativity and discovery while simultaneously recognizing more completely our obligations to Native and Indigenous peoples.  For more about the College of Arts & Sciences at WSU, please see https://cas.wsu.edu .

The Psychology Department has approximately 1,200 undergraduate majors and 60 doctoral students in the Experimental and the APA-accredited Clinical Psychology programs. The online psychology degree program has been consistently ranked within the top 25 online programs in psychology and offers students the chance to engage with their classmates and instructors outside of regular coursework in terms of TA, tutor, and research experiences, a shared online space for all majors and minors, and dedicated chapters of Psi Chi and Psych Club.

Detailed information about faculty and programs in the Department of Psychology appears at https://psychology.wsu.edu . The Department of Psychology and Washington State University encourage collaborations among faculty and students.  The Psychology major is one of the largest undergraduate majors at the University, and the University has active McNair Scholars and undergraduate Honors programs.  Department of Psychology is committed to promoting social equity and social justice within the department and field of psychology as a whole. We strive to build an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming community in which all faculty, staff, and students are inspired to achieve their highest potential. Our department is dedicated to empowering its students, staff, and faculty from all backgrounds, including those from minoritized groups, in their pursuit of knowledge and their service to their academic, regional, and national communities.

WSU acknowledges that its locations statewide are on the homelands of Native American peoples, who have lived in this region and have been caretakers of the land from time immemorial. The Morrill Act of 1862 established our land-grant institution by providing public and federal lands that are traced back to the disposition of Indigenous lands, often taken by coercive and violent acts, and the disregard of treaties. For that, we extend our deepest apologies. We owe our deepest gratitude to the Native peoples of this region and maintain our commitment towards reconciliation. And as a land-grant institution, WSU is deeply committed to the land-grant mission, its Memorandums of Understanding with Native tribes in the region, and a tradition of service to society.
