JOBS: St. Olaf College

I am writing to bring to your attention a tenure-track full-time position at the assistant professor level in developmental psychology at St. Olaf College, a very selective liberal arts college located in Northfield, Minnesota. We are particularly interested in applicants who incorporate diversity and cross-cultural perspectives into their research and teaching. Please consider this announcement and share it with your doctoral students – both recent graduates and current advanced students – especially those who have a passion for teaching and a strong desire to work closely with talented undergraduates in investigative research. We seek applicants with PhDs in psychology or human development.

As part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FNSM) at St. Olaf, the Psychology Department will be moving into a new science complex in Fall 2008 [http://www.stolaf.edu/sciencecomplex/building/]. This state-of-the-art facility will have beautiful research labs (including space that could be used for cross-cultural developmental research) as well as flexible, inviting spaces for teaching. In addition to strong support from the FNSM, we also have many interdisciplinary affiliations across campus, including those with programs in Asian Studies, Computer Science, Education, Environmental Studies, Exercise Science, Family Studies, Linguistic Studies, Neuroscience, Nursing, Social Work, Sociology/Anthropology, and Statistics.

Northfield, a town of 19,000, is located approximately 40 miles south of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, a multicultural metropolitan area of 3.5 million. If you or your students have any questions about this position that cannot be answered in our ad [http://www.stolaf.edu/offices/doc/jobs/jobpostingpsychologyTT.html], please feel free to get in touch with me.

Sincerely,

Dana Gross, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology and Department Chair St. Olaf College 1520 St. Olaf Ave. Northfield, MN 55057-1098
