The Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland in College Park is seeking to fill four tenure-track positions. Three are at the assistant or early associate professor level and one is at the full or advanced associate professor level. For the three junior positions, we seek candidates who are leaders or rising leaders in their fields. For the senior position, we seek someone who is internationally recognized as being at the forefront of her or his field. In all cases, we are looking for individuals who will enrich ties across the department and university.
Assistant or Early Associate Professor
Counseling Psychology: We are especially interested in candidates in the areas of multicultural counseling/development, assessment, psychotherapy process/outcome, marital/family therapy, or career development/counseling.
Developmental Psychology: We are particularly interested in candidates with developmental research foci in social, cognitive, and/or affective neuroscience, basic cognitive and affective processes, language and communication, and social relationships.
Social, Decision, and Organizational Sciences (SDOS): SDOS is comprised of social psychologists, organizational psychologists, and judgment and decision-making researchers who collectively study how individuals perceive and process information about their social environment and themselves, make decisions, and manage their interdependencies with others in dyadic, team, organizational, and societal contexts. We are particularly interested in applicants with strong research programs in social cognition, judgment and decision making, affective or social neuroscience, or cross-cultural research. Individuals trained in any area of social psychology are encouraged to apply.
Full or Advanced Associate Professor
Area open. We seek an established scientist with an active research program in affective, cognitive, developmental, or social neuroscience to serve as the inaugural director of a newly created NSF-funded Brain Imaging Center equipped with state-of-the-art fMRI facilities particularly suited for human developmental work. Experience with fMRI research is essential and administrative experience is highly desirable. The Brain Imaging Center is an initiative of the interdepartmental Ph.D.-granting Program in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (NACS), which brings together faculty and students from 14 departments and 8 colleges across the university. This individual will be a leader in a growing group of scientists whose research involves brain imaging.
In addition to SDOS, Developmental and Counseling, the other Ph.D. programs in the new training structure at the University of Maryland are Clinical Psychology and Cognitive and Neural Systems. Many faculty members participate in more than one program, thereby fostering a rich web of collaborations throughout the department. The scientific core of the department spans neural, functional, and social levels of analysis. University-wide interdisciplinary initiatives strengthen the department’s connections to the broad and rapidly growing research community across campus. Among these initiatives are NACS, the START Center for the Study of Terrorism, the Center for Advanced Study of Language, the Infant Studies Consortium, and the Brain Imaging Center now being created.
