UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, AUGUSTANA FACULTY
PSYCHOLOGY
As part of a dynamic program of renewal and growth, the Department of Social Science at the University of Alberta's new Augustana Faculty invites applications for a tenure-track position in Psychology. The appointment is at the rank of Assistant Professor and will commence as early as July 1, 2005. The successful candidate will be one of four faculty members in the Psychology program and able to teach a range of courses in the area of applied social psychology as well as introductory psychology. Ability to create opportunities for undergraduate research will be considered an asset. Areas of expertise that would fit particularly well given our academic and community context including aging, gender, or health, however, we will consider all areas of specialization within applied social psychology. Applicants should possess or be near completion of a Ph.D.
The Augustana Faculty teaches about 1000 undergraduate students on a picturesque residential campus in the city of Camrose, 90 km southeast of Edmonton. After a long educational history, including two decades as an independent, degree-granting university college of the Lutheran church, Augustana was incorporated into the University of Alberta in July 2004. 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 Faculty expects to make at least six tenure-track appointments commencing July 1, 2005, all at the rank of Assistant Professor, with additional appointments to follow in the next two years. The current salary scale begins at $51,768; the benefit package is comprehensive. For all positions, 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. Long-term interest in, and potential for, academic leadership may also be a consideration in an appointment.
