The Department of Psychology at Georgia State University announces anticipated tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant/Associate Professor levels beginning Fall, 2000. We seek broadly-trained, outstanding candidates who can establish nationally competitive research programs, and who have a strong interest and can contribute effectively to graduate and undergraduate instructional programs, and university and national service. Candidates who can teach graduate courses in the History of Psychology and who can contribute to more than one graduate program area are especially encouraged to apply. The Department of Psychology currently supports graduate programs in Clinical Psychology, Community Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Neuropsychology and Behavioral Neurosciences, and Social/Cognitive Psychology (see http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwpsy/).
Current positions are for:
(1) A Behavioral Neuroscientist (Ph.D., Ph.D./M.D, M.D.) with an independent research program in behavioral neuropharmacology or related neurosciences; who uses state-of-the-art techniques to link basic neuroscience research with clinical problems (e.g., animal models of addiction, affective disorders, eating disorders, aggression, or cognitive deficits such as amnesia); and has a strong interest in teaching courses in psychopharmacology, behavioral neurosciences, and research methodology.
(2) Cognitive, Developmental, or Personality Psychologist who can fill one of a variety of needs in the Department. Examples of the types of backgrounds of primary interest and need include:
A cognitive psychologist with a significant research and publication record in an area of complex/higher-order cognition such as learning, language, reading, math, executive function, problem solving, reasoning, or decision making. Preference will be given to candidates who are cross-trained in neuroscience, social, developmental or quantitative psychology.
A developmental psychologist with strong theoretical interests and an active research program in cognitive and/or social development with typical, atypical, and/or ethnically diverse populations with a focus in early or middle childhood.
A personality psychologist with an established research program in personality and individual differences that bears upon social, clinical or cross-cultural behavior. Preference will be given to candidates whose research focuses on behavioral genetics or biological orientations.
(3) Clinical Psychologist who can satisfy one of a variety of needs in the APA accredited Clinical Psychology Program, including one which involves strengthening the collaboration between the Clinical and Community Programs, and another which involves enhancing the behavioral orientation within the Clinical Program. All applicants must hold a Ph.D. from an APA accredited Professional Psychology Program (Clinical or Clinical- Community) and have at least one year of supervised post-doctoral clinical experience that qualifies for Georgia licensure at the time of appointment. Examples of the types of backgrounds of primary interest and need include:
A candidate for a joint appointment in the Clinical and Community Psychology Programs. Although the area of research is open, candidates who have been trained in community psychology or who focus on community-based prevention or intervention research with ethnically diverse populations are particularly encouraged.
A candidate with expertise in clinical behavior analysis, single-case research methodology, functional assessment, and behavioral interventions. Applicants with interests in any clinical population will be considered, although those having linkages to areas of current research and interests are particularly encouraged.
Application: To apply, applicants should send a letter of application that (1) specifies which of the above listed positions they are applying for, (2) describes their academic and research/scholarship interests, (3) discusses their philosophy of teaching, and (4) outlines their professional accomplishments and future goals.
