JOBS: Position in Aging/Lifespan at Carleton

Subject to budgetary considerations, the Department of Psychology at Carleton University wishes to make a tenure-track appointment in Aging and Life-Span Development from a Health Psychology perspective at the level of Assistant Professor to begin July 1, 2006. We are particularly interested in individuals with a research approach that complements the range of perspectives that reflect our Health Psychology program, which includes social, cognitive, developmental, and biological processes that are relevant to community populations. A Ph.D. and significant evidence of ability in research and teaching are required, and the ability to teach undergraduate or graduate statistics would be an asset. Successful candidates will be expected to teach in the undergraduate and graduate programs, supervise graduate students, and develop a program of research leading to external grant funding (e.g., CIHR, SSHRC or NSERC) and significant peer-reviewed publications. The Department of Psychology has a strong undergraduate and graduate program in Developmental and experimental Health psychology, as well as affiliated areas of interest to aging researchers, including Cognitive Psychology and the Institute of Neurosciences. Information about our program can be obtained from our website at

Carleton University is committed to equality of employment for women, Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and persons with disabilities. Interested persons from these groups are encouraged to apply. Review of applications will begin January 15 2006 and this process will continue until a suitable candidate is found.

Carleton University is located on a beautiful campus in the central portion of Ottawa, bounded by the Rideau River on one side, and the Rideau Canal on the other. Its prime location, minutes from downtown, the airport, as well as the Gatineau Hills, enhances quality of life, and allows for recreational opportunities for individuals and families. The City of Ottawa itself, with a population of almost 1M, has numerous entertainment, cultural and social events throughout the year, including the National Arts Centre, the world's largest chamber music festival, Blues, Jazz, and Folk festivals, the spring tulip festival and Winterlude. It is home to the longest skating rink in the world (Rideau Canal). Candidates visiting Carleton are encouraged to bring their skates or skis (but only in winter).
