The Department of Psychology and Social Behavior at the University of California, Irvine invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in Psychology and Law, broadly defined. The department has a longstanding commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and the application of theoretically-grounded research to social problems. Applicants must have strong training in a primary area of psychology (e.g., clinical, cognitive, social, developmental) and their research should have implications relevant to law or policy. The area of research interest is open, but we would be especially interested in candidates who study psychological processes and sociocultural factors that influence initial, and unfolding trajectories of, involvement in the justice system. Candidates who study these issues with mentally ill or other high risk populations are particularly encouraged to apply. We are also interested in candidates who study issues related to forensic assessment (e.g., adjudicative and other competencies), interrogation and confessions, and decision making by participants in the legal system (e.g., witnesses, jurors, experts). Qualified candidates with other research interests are encouraged to apply, as well.
Candidates must have a Ph.D., a strong record of research, and demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching. The ability to teach advanced statistical methods (e.g., structural equation modeling) is desirable, but not required. For Associate level candidates, evidence of success in securing extramural funding to support research and graduate students is desired. A J.D. degree would be appealing, but is not required. Successful candidates will be affiliated with the Center for Psychology and Law (see www.seweb.uci.edu/psychlaw), and their work should complement and extend that of Center-affiliated faculty. This is one of three new faculty positions (two assistant; one associate) advertised this year to build an international center of excellence in Psychology and Law.
Application materials must be submitted electronically (please refer to the Employment link at the following website for instructions: http://www.seweb.uci.edu/).
Candidates should submit a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, and representative pre-prints/reprints, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation uploaded electronically.
To ensure full consideration, application files should be completed no later than October 11, 2006. Please direct questions about this position to skeem@uci.edu . The University of California, Irvine, is an equal opportunity employer committed to excellence through diversity, has a National Science Foundation Advance Gender Equity Program, and is responsive to the needs of dual career couples.
