TWO OPENINGS – West Virginia University's Department of Psychology (www.wvu.edu/~psychology) invites applications for tenure-track Assistant Professor or Associate Professor positions in BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS and LIFE-SPAN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY beginning August 2009. Both positions require a Ph.D. by the starting date and evidence of strong potential in research and teaching. For applicants at the Associate level, a history of external grant support is expected. Regardless of rank, responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate teaching and research. Obtaining significant external research funding will be expected. For the Behavior Analysis position, we will consider applicants with any specialization within behavior analysis – experimental or applied – that complements the Behavior Analysis faculty. The Life-Span Developmental position requires doctoral training in developmental psychology, an active research program that complements the Developmental faculty, and the potential to contribute to graduate training in life-span psychology. Laboratory facilities will be assigned in our Life Sciences Building, which houses the Departments of Psychology and Biology. Additional facilities and opportunities are available through the University Health Sciences Center, Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, Center for Advanced Imaging, Rockefeller Institute for Neuroscience, and the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Neuroscience. The Department of Psychology has 23 full-time faculty, 75 graduate students, and 800 undergraduate premajors and majors. Ph.D. training is offered in Behavior Analysis (ABA accredited), Clinical and Clinical Child Psychology (APA accredited), and Life-Span Developmental Psychology.
