The Department of Psychology at Simon Fraser University invites applications for a tenure-track
faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Developmental Psychology. We seek
candidates with clearly demonstrated potential to establish a strong research program, excel as
instructors in our undergraduate and graduate programs, and vigorously participate in
departmental activities and service. The area of research specialization within developmental
psychology is open, and we encourage applications from scholars whose research is strongly
complementary to the work of established researchers in this department while providing
additional breadth and innovation.
Simon Fraser University is consistently ranked among the top comprehensive universities in
Canada. More information about the Psychology Department and the University can be found

Greater Vancouver. Vancouver is a scenic waterfront city, located minutes from the mountains
and a wide range of outdoor activities. It has a reputation as a clean, safe, multicultural and
ethnically diverse city, and is one of the very top cities in the world in which to live and work.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent
residents will be given priority. Simon Fraser University is committed to employment equity and
encourages applications from all qualified persons, including visible minorities, Aboriginal people
