The Department of Psychology at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA invites applications for two new appointments of full-time, tenure-track, assistant professors with service to begin as early as August 7, 2004. Applicants should send statements describing their research program and their teaching interests, a CV, and up to five reprints and preprints. Three letters of recommendation should be sent directly to the chair of the search committee at the address below. Applicants should show evidence of outstanding research and teaching potential. Each of the successful applicants will be expected to establish an independent program of research that can garner extramural support, to supervise and mentor graduate students, to teach graduate and undergraduate classes, and to participate in departmental governance. Applicants must have the Ph.D. degree by the time of the appointment. Post-doctoral experience is highly desirable. We have a strong preference for applicants whose research bridges subdisciplines of Psychology.
We are seeking truly outstanding psychologists whose program of research focuses on ANY area of psychology and who are conducting empirical, theory-driven research with humans. The domain of the search ranges across the spectrum of psychological science. The department has particular needs in some areas (such as, but not limited to, Social, Developmental, and Cognitive). We have a special interest in a Cognitive Neuroscientist who employs neuroimaging. We would consider candidates who utilize any form of neuroimaging, including electrophysiological, optical or radiological neuroimaging. These preferences notwithstanding, our intent is to allow the quality of the candidates to determine the directions of our growth.
The University of South Florida is a metropolitan-based, Carnegie-designated Doctoral/Research-Extensive university enrolling more than 40,000 students. The department of Psychology (http://www.cas.usf.edu/psychology/content/index.htm) has 33 faculty members. The Department is housed in a new building that provides ample space and facilities for research as well as a large, vibrant, psychological services center. The Psychology Building is located in close proximity to the Health Sciences complex on the USF campus, reflecting the strong relationship we maintain with such units as the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, The Florida Mental Health Institute and the Colleges of Medicine and Public Health. The University is planning to establish a major, state-funded, Center for the study of Alzheimer Disease. Facilities for radiological neuroimaging are available on campus. There are excellent facilities for electrophysiological neuroimaging in the department. For those interested in developmental processes, there are three NAEYC-accredited day care facilities on campus as well as two laboratory elementary schools.
The salary is negotiable. Send materials to: Prof. William Sacco, Chair, Psychology Search Committee, Department of Psychology, University of South Florida, 4202 E. Fowler., PCD 4118G, Tampa, Florida, 33620-7200. The University of South Florida encourages applications from women and members of minority groups. The selection process will be conducted under the provisions of Florida’s “Government in the Sunshine” and Public Records Laws. Anyone requiring special accommodations to complete an application should contact Sonya Espinosa (813-974-2438). A review of the applications will begin on 12/15/03. In order to receive full consideration by the search committee your application must be received by this date. Applications received after this date will be reviewed and advanced, in cases of compelling merit, up to the conclusion of the search process.
