 | Assistant Professor of Psychology (Area Open) |  |  |  |  |  | |
As part of a dynamic, multi-year program of renewal and growth at the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus, the Department of Social Sciences invites applications for a tenure-track position in Psychology at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2007.
Area of specialization is open; however, the successful candidate will teach a range of undergraduate courses including principles of psychological assessment, statistical methods for psychological research, and advanced experimental design. The successful candidate will also be expected to develop new courses in their area of expertise that contribute to the existing program. The discipline offers the opportunity to teach small classes at all undergraduate levels and mentor senior research students. Applicants should possess or be near completion of a Ph.D.
The Augustana Faculty teaches more than 1000 students in baccalaureate degree programs on a picturesque residential campus in the city of Camrose, 90 km southeast of Edmonton. The Faculty is committed to building on its reputation for rigorous, high-quality teaching in the tradition of the liberal arts and sciences, and, in doing so, providing a distinctive undergraduate academic experience for students within one of Canada’s leading universities. It seeks to attract promising scholars who will share its enthusiasm for teaching in a small-campus environment, participate actively in a collegial culture of inquiry and public engagement, and flourish as researchers in an undergraduate, interdisciplinary, and rural location.
The ability to contribute to areas of interdisciplinary strength and interest for the Faculty will be an asset. Those areas include environmental studies, international development studies, rural and northern studies, and women’s studies.
For information about Augustana and particular programs, please consult the Faculty webpage at www.augustana.ca. Inquiries concerning this position should be directed to Dr. Jeremy Mouat, Chair of Social Sciences at Jeremy.Mouat@ualberta.ca.
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, including evidence of successful teaching and samples of scholarly work, and arrange to have transcripts and three confidential letters of reference sent to:
