The areas of expertise are open but candidates whose research and teaching is in the area of research methodology (advanced quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods), life-span development, and family health are particularly encouraged to apply. The department seeks innovative and enthusiastic colleagues who will enhance synergies in the department, who are dedicated to high quality research and teaching, and who are interested in joining a dynamic multidisciplinary faculty.
