The Department of Psychology at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA invites applications for three new appointments of full-time, tenure-track, assistant professors with service to begin as early as August 7, 2003. Applicants should send statements describing their research program and their teaching interests, a CV, and up to five reprints and preprints. Three letters of recommendation should be sent directly to the chair of the search committee at the address below. Applicants should show evidence of outstanding research and teaching potential. Each of the successful applicants will be expected to establish an independent program of research that can garner extramural support, to supervise and mentor graduate students, to teach graduate and undergraduate classes, and to participate in departmental governance. Applicants must have the Ph.D. degree by the time of the appointment. Post-doctoral experience is highly desirable. We have a strong preference for applicants whose research bridges sub- disciplines of Psychology.
The department seeks applicants in three areas of primary programmatic interest. Candidates should indicate which of the three areas is their primary focus of interest. However, candidates may meet our needs in more than one area. The department will consider each applicant within the framework of each of the areas of interest. It is possible, therefore, that more than one of the three new hires will be in one of the areas described below:
A. HEALTH ISSUES IN PSYCHOLOGY. We seek applicants whose research focuses on psychological aspects of the systems that preserve, maintain and restore health. Our interests include, but are not limited to, clinical psychologists, pediatric psychologists, personality psychologists, as well as a spectrum ranging from Engineering Psychologists who focus on patient safety and medical errors to Social and Organizational psychologists who study the impact of the health delivery system on public health.
B. QUANTITATIVE PSYCHOLOGY. The department is seeking to enlarge substantially our offerings in psychological measurement, research design and statistical analysis. Our interests include, but are not limited to, colleagues who are expert in innovative, computer intensive, techniques of statistical inference, and in colleagues who are utilizing mathematical modeling techniques in the development of theory-based empirical research in Psychology. We will consider psychologists who conduct research, and publish, in the mathematical and statistical literature. However, the candidates must also have a strong focus on one of the substantive areas of Psychology. We seek candidates whose quantitative work is deployed in the service of a theory-driven empirical research program and for whom the quantitative work informs the empirical and theoretical studies, while the substantive issues drive the quantitative developments.
C. COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE NEUROSCIENCE. The department is interested in complementing our strong group of behavioral neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists with strength in the area of Cognitive Neuroscience, with our prime interest being in individuals who apply neuroimaging, using human subjects, in the pursuit of understanding how cognitive and affective processes are implemented in the Brain. We would consider candidates who utilize any form of neuroimaging, including electrophysiological, optical and radiological neuroimaging.
The University of South Florida is a metropolitan-based Research I university enrolling more than 37,000 students. The Department of Psychology has 33 faculty members. The Department is housed in a new building that provides ample space and facilities for research as well as a large, vibrant, psychological services center. The Psychology Building is located in close proximity to the Health Sciences complex on the USF campus, reflecting the strong relationship we maintain with such units as the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, The Florida Mental Health Institute and the Colleges of Medicine and Public Health. The University is establishing a major, state-funded, Center for the study of Alzheimer Disease. Facilities for radiological neuroimaging are available on campus. There are excellent facilities for electrophysiological neuroimaging in the department. For those interested in developmental processes, there are three NAEYC-accredited day care facilities on campus as well as a laboratory elementary school.
The salary is negotiable. SEND MATERIALS TO: Prof. Michael Coovert, Chair, Psychology Search Committee, Department of Psychology, University of South Florida, 4202 E.
