 Assistant/Associate Professor
Institution/Organization: University of Missouri - Columbia
Job Location: Missouri, U.S.A.
Job Type: Tenure-Track
Contact Person: Lynne Cooper
Date Posted: September 11th, 2003


THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA (MU) is inviting applications for a tenure-track assistant professor or a tenured associate professor in the area of ADDICTIVE BEHAVIORS. This position represents the fifth and final hire in an institutional effort to establish MU as one of the nation's preeminent psychology departments in the areas of the bio-behavioral and psychosocial determinants of addiction and substance abuse. The new faculty member will be joining an already established group of addictions researchers affiliated with both the Department of Psychological Sciences (Bruce Bartholow, Lynne Cooper, Denis McCarthy, Dennis Miller, Tom Piasecki, Ken Sher, Wendy Slutske, Tim Trull, and Phil Wood) and the Department of Family and Community Medicine (Dan Longo, Dan Vinson, Kevin Emory). The Department of Psychological Sciences has recently received a five-year, pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training grant from NIAAA and, additionally, has three internally funded postdoctoral slots. Several of the MU psychology addictions researchers are part of the NIAAA-funded Missouri Alcoholism Research Center (MARC) directed by Andrew Heath at Washington University School of Medicine. The MARC provides exciting new research opportunities in topics relevant to developmental aspects of addiction, addiction and family processes, the genetic epidemiology of alcoholism, mechanisms of comorbidity, quantitative methodology, and psychophysiology.

We are especially interested in recruiting a developmental psychologist with interests in the precursors of substance use disorders or in developmental aspects of substance use or abuse (e.g., the consequences of substance involvement on adolescent and adult development). Other areas of interest include treatment outcome research; quantitative methods; decision making, motivation, or personality issues related to substance use and dependence; and cognitive or affective neuroscience with applications to addiction and addictive behaviors. The primary criteria for filling the positions are demonstrated scholarly excellence and potential for securing extramural funding.

To apply, send vita, up to five representative reprints, a cover letter that reviews your research program and teaching interests, and three letters of reference to Chair, Addictions Search Committee, Department of Psychological Sciences, 210 McAlester Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211. Inquiries can be made to Dr. Lynne Cooper, (573) 882-2365, Email: CooperM@missouri.edu. We will begin screening applications December 1, 2003, and continue until the position is filled. The anticipated start date for this new position is August 2004. The University of Missouri does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, disability, status as disabled veteran, or veteran of Vietnam era.
