The Industrial and Organizational Psychology Program at he University of Texas at Arlington proudly announces the establishment of three Endowed I/O Professorships created to celebrate the distinguished careers of three generous benefactors:
• The A. Dale Thompson Professor of Leadership
• The C. Lewis Hollweg Professor of Entrepreneurism
• The Phillip C. Roark Professor of Talent Development & Technology
These Endowments represent an unprecedented collaborative achievement between the University and the Dallas-Ft. Worth business community and are an example of the tremendous energy and support that surrounds our growing program. Each Professorship specialization exemplifies a vital aspect of contemporary I/O Psychology. Qualified scholars will benefit from the prestige that is provided by the titled Endowments and will be expected to uphold the values and standards associated with such an honor. The Professorships will be filled consecutively in the next three years.
We invite applications for a full-time tenured appointment at the rank of Associate or Full Professor. A Ph.D. in I/O Psychology or closely related field (e.g., organizational development, organizational behavior) is required. Candidates should complement and strengthen the current areas of the I/O Program and should focus on an area of specialization pertaining to one of the Endowed Professorships. The successful applicant must have an emerging or developed scholarly reputation. We are interested in individuals with a proven record of excellence in research, teaching, and service, as well as evidence of strong external funding. In addition, qualified individuals are expected to supervise student internships and research (M.S. and Ph.D.) and teach graduate and/or undergraduate courses. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Successful individuals will have the unique opportunity to participate in the continued development of the Ph.D. program and a dynamic M.S. I/O program, as well as to become an active member of the newly established Industrial and Organizational Psychology Center. The Center is an emerging entity housed within the Department of Psychology dedicated to “bridging the gap” between science and practice. It is actively supported by a receptive business community and is focused on building and maintaining ongoing collaborative partnerships among students, business leaders, and academic colleagues. This synthesis between industry and academia will provide limitless opportunities for scholarly research and field applications.
