Successful applicants will be able to teach courses in PSYC 1002 (Introduction to Leading), PSYC 4000 (Psychology of Leading), Industrial Organizational Psychology, and Group Dynamics, as well as upper-division-level courses in their area of expertise. This is a face-to-face position, requiring applicants to teach in person on the Gainesville and Dahlonega Campuses.

The successful candidate will support the Leadership Minor through teaching, scholarship, advising, curriculum development, student engagement, and coordination with campus partners.

Please be advised that any offer of employment is contingent upon your eligibility to work in the United States. The university is aware of recent federal changes that may significantly increase the cost of filing H-1B visa petitions.

As a public institution, the university's ability to cover such costs is subject to budgetary constraints and state funding policies. Therefore, while we remain committed to supporting international faculty hires, we cannot guarantee payment of any newly imposed or increased visa-related fees.

If you have any questions regarding the visa policy, please contact Monica Arrendale at .
