PROFESSOR and CHAIR of PSYCHOLOGY: The Psychology Department at the University of South Florida invites applications for the position of Professor and Chair of Psychology to begin Fall, 2001. Applicants should be nationally recognized senior scholars with a strong record of scholarly productivity as evidenced by accomplishments such as substantial contributions to the research literature, a history of extramural research support, and holding leadership roles in relevant professional or scientific organizations. We seek someone with a demonstrated commitment to administrative leadership who is dedicated to the science of psychology while conversant and comfortable with the values and issues affecting both applied and basic research programs. The successful candidate should be aware of changing trends in the field and have a sophisticated understanding and facility in handling departmental governance. Area of specialization is open, but the candidate's research interests should complement and extend existing areas of concentration. The Department currently has three Ph.D. program areas: Clinical, Cognitive and Neural Sciences, and Industrial-Organizational plus several less formal areas of convergence, within and across programs. Other areas of emphasis are likely to emerge as the Department considers its organization in relation to the future of psychology as a discipline. The incoming chair would play an important role in identifying these areas.
