Applications are being accepted for an academic year (9-month), tenure-track appointment in Human Development and Family Studies with a prevention and/or intervention emphasis at the Assistant Professor level with a joint appointment in the Experiment Station. Fiscal year term employment (i.e., 11-month appointment) will be offered and continued based on academic personnel review. Faculty advise and teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates will be expected to teach and develop a research program that focuses on preventing one or more types of maladjustment or impairment and that involves interventions designed to improve the quality of life of those who are at risk for, or affected by, the problem(s) under study. The candidate is also expected to engage in AES related research and outreach. Examples of appropriate interdisciplinary topics within human development, to which the prevention and/or intervention is being applied, include, but are not limited to: reducing the adverse effects of environmental toxins on cognitive, social, or emotional development or change over time; promoting positive social, emotional, or cognitive development through nutritional interventions; promoting positive social, emotional, or cognitive development through other specific biological interventions; using specific prevention strategies to reduce risk for individual (e.g., delinquency, emotional distress) or family (e.g., child abuse, marital problems) maladjustment; and developing programs to prevent cognitive declines in later life. Candidates must hold an earned Doctoral or equivalent degree in Human Development, Psychology, Family Studies, Sociology, or related field, and have a record of research in socio-emotional, cognitive, and/or biological development which emphasizes prevention and/or intervention. A strong commitment to quality teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels is essential.
Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) is responsible for an undergraduate degree program and forms the core faculty for both an M.S. degree program in Child Development and a Ph.D. program in Human Development. Research and teaching interests of HDFS encompass the life cycle from birth to old age. Faculty research includes projects ranging from those focusing primarily on contextual determinants of behavioral development to projects focused upon the organismic substrate of such growth. Faculty of HDFS are engaged in collaborative efforts with faculty from other campus departments such as Anthropology, Psychology, Nutrition, and Psychiatry, and with researchers from other University of California campuses as well as other universities in the United States and abroad.
With their applications, interested parties should include statements outlining, in general, their plans for future research, detailing any special skills or training relevant to these plans, and their relevant prior teaching experience.
