JOBS: Developmental Science University of Alberta

The Department of Psychology at the University of Alberta is conducting a search for another faculty position (Assistant Professor, tenure track) in lifespan development. In a successful search last year, we recruited a developmental scientist with strong methodological skills and a research emphasis in adolescent social-emotional development. This year, we are seeking to add another developmental scientist with research skills and teaching interests in "developmental methods," including developmental research design and quantitative developmental analyses. Although the position emphasizes the importance of developmental methods, it is open with respect to the candidate's research interests in developmental age range (childhood, adolescence, adulthood and aging) and developmental research area (e.g., cognition, social, affect, measurement, quantitative analyses). The full notice is available on the departmental website: http://www.psych.ualberta.ca/
