The Psychology Department and the African American Studies Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) at Iowa State University invites applications for two positions at the rank of assistant or associate professor. Although this is a multidisciplinary search (Anthropology, Economics, History, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Psychology, Psychology, and Sociology), the department hopes that one of the positions will be filled by a psychologist, in which case the appointment would be in both African American Studies and the Department of Psychology. Position 1 requires a scholar with a teaching and research emphasis on the African Diaspora/Black Atlantic world, broadly conceptualized. Position 2 requires a scholar with a teaching and research emphasis in any other area of specialization within African American Studies.
The successful psychology candidate will have a Ph.D. in psychology by the beginning date for the appointment (August 16, 2008), possess expertise in African American Studies, demonstrate the potential to achieve excellence in scholarship and teaching, and have the ability to effectively mentor African American students.
