Tenure Track Position in Health Psychology at Brandeis University.
The Department of Psychology at Brandeis University invites applications for a tenure-track health psychology position to begin July 2008. This position will be within the department's social and developmental psychology program. We seek an outstanding scientist whose research on health uses cutting-edge methodologies and incorporates the use of biological markers. We are especially interested in candidates who will complement our existing departmental focus in life-span development and aging, and also will be able to integrate with the department's cognitive neuroscience program. Possible research topics could include (but are not limited to): stress and coping, gene/environment interactions, psychoneuroimmunology, psychoneuroendocrinology, psychophysiology, effects of race, gender or socioeconomic status on health, psychosocial pathways to health outcomes and disease end-states.
Our search will focus on candidates at the Assistant Professor level, who would flourish in Brandeis' interdisciplinary environment. Although we are primarily interested in hiring at the Assistant Professor level, all levels will be considered. Successful candidates should be able to mount a vigorous independent research program capable of attracting extramural support and have a strong commitment to both undergraduate and graduate education. Teaching interests in Health Psychology, as well as Introductory Psychology and Research Methods would be highly desirable. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to a vibrant interdisciplinary undergraduate program "Health: Science, Society and Policy." Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae, research and teaching statements, and copies of relevant publications, and arrange to have three letters of reference sent to: Health Psychology Search Committee, Department of Psychology, MS 062, 415 South Street, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02454-9110
We will begin reviewing applications on October 15, 2007. First consideration will be given to those candidates whose applications are complete by that date, although we will accept applications until the position is filled. Brandeis University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse community, and welcomes applications from women and minorities.
