----------------------
ASSISTANT or ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR in Developmental Psychology/ Applied Developmental Psychology/ Human Development. The Department of Psychology at Portland State University has a tenure-track opening in Developmental Psychology beginning September 2008. The department has a strong field research orientation and has an Applied Psychology doctoral program with specializations in Applied Developmental, Applied Social and Community, and Industrial/ Organizational Psychology. Qualifications include a doctoral degree in Developmental Psychology, Applied Developmental Psychology, Human Development, Developmental Science, or an equivalent program (ABD considered). We seek candidates who have an established record of community-based research and publication, or demonstrated potential for establishing such a record. Candidates applying at the associate level should demonstrate an established track record of research, teaching, and service. The area of specialization is open, but our program favors lifespan, social contextual, and ecological systems perspectives. We are especially interested in candidates with research and teaching expertise in developmental methodology (including design, measurement, and statistical methods, e.g., analysis of multi-variate longitudinal data, or evaluation of change processes) or topics of particular relevance to minority populations (e.g., effects of social inequalities on children's development or cultural perspectives on developmental processes). Responsibilities include maintaining a productive program of community-based research; teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in developmental psychology, including courses related to the applicant's particular area of expertise; supervising graduate students' theses and dissertations; supervising graduate and undergraduate community-based practica and internships; and contributing to service in the department, university and profession.
Portland State University values diversity and demonstrates this through its campus initiatives; we particularly encourage members of historically under-represented groups to apply. The Psychology Department maintains a supportive climate of cooperation, collaboration, and collegiality.
