The Cornell University Department of Human Development seeks applicants for two tenure-track assistant professor positions in any area to begin July 2008. These positions extend a major building program in the Department that has resulted in eight significant hires in recent years. The Department has a broad base in normative developmental psychology and sociology that includes social, personality, cognitive, emotional, and biological domains. In addition, the Department has four particularly strong emphases that cut across the five content domains: (1) Aging & Health, with foci on both normal, positive aging as well as age-related socioemotional and health problems; (2) Culture & Diversity, which examines the influence of cultural factors on basic developmental processes; (3) Developmental Behavioral Neuroscience, which includes both normative and disordered cognitive, affective, and social domains; and (4) Law, Psychology, & Development, with special interests in cognition and memory. Individuals who integrate several basic areas are of particular interest. The department also maintains significant research bridges with the Medical campus in New York City.
Responsibilities include teaching three courses per year (typically two undergraduate and one graduate), supervising student research, and maintaining a rigorous, highly productive and externally-funded program of empirical research that maintains and builds the department’s international reputation. Send vita, statement of research and teaching interests, three representative publications, and three letters of reference to Office of the Chair, Department of Human Development, Martha Van Rensselaer Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853. Cornell University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Review of applications will begin November 15; applications are welcomed until the position is filled.
