THREE OPENINGS – West Virginia University’s Department of Psychology (www.as.wvu.edu/psyc) invites applications for tenure-track Assistant Professor positions beginning August 2007 in (1) Applied Behavior Analysis, (2) Clinical Child Psychology, and (3) Life-Span Developmental Psychology. The Behavior Analysis position is defined broadly; however, we are especially interested in applicants whose work is in autism or other developmental disabilities. The Clinical Child position requires a behavioral orientation and license eligibility in West Virginia. The Developmental position requires an active research program in child or adolescent developmental psychology. For all 3 positions, applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. by the starting date and strong potential in research and teaching. Responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate teaching (including student research supervision and, for the Behavior Analysis and Clinical Child positions, practicum supervision) and research. Obtaining significant external research support (and, if applicable, practicum support) will be expected. Laboratory facilities will be assigned in our Life Sciences Building, which houses the Departments of Psychology and Biology. The Department’s clinic provides opportunities for delivering services and supervising graduate students. Additional facilities and opportunities are available through the University Health Sciences Center, Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, Center for Advanced Imaging, and the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Neuroscience. The Department of Psychology has 23 full-time faculty, 75 graduate students, and 750 undergraduate premajors and majors. Ph.D. training is offered in Clinical and Clinical Child Psychology (APA accredited), Behavior Analysis (ABA accredited), and Life-Span Developmental Psychology. Review of applications will begin October 16, 2006, and continue until the positions are filled. Send a letter outlining teaching and research interests and plans for obtaining external research support, a vita, three letters of recommendation, and three (p)reprints to the Behavior Analysis, Clinical Child, or Developmental Search Committee, Department of Psychology, P.O.
