TENURE-TRACK FACULTY OPPORTUNITIES
AT THE USC DAVIS SCHOOL OF GERONTOLOGY
The USC Davis School is looking to fill multiple faculty positions in the coming years and rank is open. We are seeking candidates with a strong research profile in a variety of fields that are or have the potential to be leading researchers in aging or life span development.
Areas of current research focus include health, cognition, social support, aging policy, biology and neurobiology of aging. Current faculty hold degrees in biology, demography, policy, urban planning, psychology, and sociology but the School is broadly multidisciplinary and open to candidates from other disciplines and professions such as medicine, engineering, law, economics and business.
There is a preference for appointments who will be able to integrate or collaborate with existing research programs. Opportunities are available for joint appointments with other academic units.
The USC Davis School offers gerontology degrees at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels; teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate level is expected. Gerontology faculty also frequently supervise doctoral students in other schools and departments (e.g. sociology, biological sciences, public policy).
Qualified candidates should send a C.V. along with a letter indicating experience, areas of interest and names and addresses of three references to:
