ASSOCIATE OR TENURE-TRACK ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITION IN 
DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY - UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO - CANADA

The University of Waterloo, Canada invites applications for an 
Associate or tenure-track Assistant Professor position in 
Developmental Psychology. We are interested in applicants from all 
areas of developmental psychology, especially if their research would 
contribute to the developmental division's focus on the role of 
social or cognitive development in language acquisition, children's 
social interactions and child-adult communication.

The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active 
research program and to supervise graduate and undergraduate 
students. The position includes a 12-month salary and the teaching 
load is 3 courses per year. The academic year runs from September to 
April, with two semesters of 12 weeks each. The successful candidate 
must have a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology or related area.

The Department of Psychology at the University of Waterloo (located 
approximately 1 hour west of Toronto) is a large, friendly, 
research-intensive department with over 35 international faculty, 20 
staff members, and 85 graduate students enrolled in Masters and Ph.D 
programs. The department houses a laboratory preschool. The 
University of Waterloo offers a full range of programs in the 
Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Computing Sciences, 
Applied Health Sciences and Engineering. In 2004, for the 13th year 
in a row, Maclean's magazine's national survey of 47 Canadian 
universities ranked UW "best overall" in Canada in reputation and the 
"most innovative" in the comprehensive category (that is, 
universities with significant graduate programs and research 
activities but without a medical school).

The University of Waterloo is located in Southwestern Ontario in what 
is currently, economically, the fastest growing region in Canada. The 
Kitchener-Waterloo area is a high-tech, culturally diverse (it is a 
top destination for new immigrants), and friendly place to live. The 
area offers attractions such as the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, a 
vibrant music and arts scene (it is home to Canada's national Clay 
and Glass gallery), many community festivals and events, as well as 
beautiful parks, trails, wilderness areas, and traditional farmer's 
markets. Waterloo is home to two major universities, a community 
college, The Centre for International Governance Innovation, and the 
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, which just hosted a 
month-long EinsteinFest with public lectures and arts events. 
Waterloo is also a high-tech destination and home to over 100 
high-tech companies (e.g., RIM). A community based Research and 
Technology Park is under construction north of the university. 

The anticipated start date for the positions is July 1, 2006. Review 
of applications will begin on Nov. 1, 2005 and will continue to 
receive and consider applications until the position is filled. 
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research 
and teaching interests, reprints or preprints of recent papers, and 
arrange for three confidential letters of reference to be sent to: 
Developmental Search Committee, Department of Psychology, University 
of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1. Any questions 
regarding this position can be directed to Dr. Daniela O'Neill at 
doneill at uwaterloo.ca or (519) 888-4567 ext. 2545.

The University of Waterloo encourages applications from all qualified 
individuals, including women, members of visible minorities, native 
people, and persons with disabilities. All qualified candidates are 
encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will 
be given priority.
