position in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience

[Margaret Friend]

Dear Colleagues,

The Department of Psychology at San Diego State University seeks candidates 
for a tenure-track position in Developmental Cognitive 
Neuroscience.  Please see our advertisement below for details.

Thanks,
Margaret Friend


The DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY at SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY invites 
applications for six tenuretrack appointments to begin August, 2006.  Two 
positions--INDUSTRIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY and CLINICAL 
PSYCHOLOGY--are open rank with preference at the senior level.  Assistant 
Professor positions are available in CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIAL 
PSYCHOLOGY,  BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE, and DEVELOPMENTAL COGNITIVE 
NEUROSCIENCE. The Psychology Department has a large and diverse population 
of undergraduate majors, an MA program, and an MS program in Applied 
Psychology with emphases in I-O and Program Evaluation.  The Department has 
an APA-accredited doctoral program in Clinical Psychology offered jointly 
with the Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of 
California, San Diego.  This scientist-practitioner program has a 
multidisciplinary faculty of more than 90 individuals drawn from the two 
institutions in three specialty areas: Experimental Psychopathology, 
Neuropsychology and Behavioral Medicine. Additional information about SDSU 
and the Psychology Department can be found at 
<http://www.sdsu.edu/>http://www.sdsu.edu/ and 
<http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu/index.html>http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu/index.html. 


The responsibilities of each position will include graduate and 
undergraduate teaching as well as research supervision and mentoring.  The 
university and the department seek a diverse faculty.  Successful 
candidates will be committed to excellence in teaching and clearly 
demonstrate research productivity and the capacity to attract extramural 
support. Research that acknowledges and addresses multicultural 
perspectives is desirable.  SDSU and the San Diego research community 
beyond our campus provide a very rich environment for interdisciplinary and 
collaborative work.

INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY: RANK OPEN, PREFERENCE FOR FULL 
PROFESSOR. Candidates must hold a PhD in I/O psychology or a related 
area.  Area of research specialization is open. The successful candidate 
for this position will play a significant role in strengthening our program 
in I/O Psychology by contributing to the development of new programmatic 
initiatives, such as the potential development of a doctoral program in 
Applied I/O Psychology.  Candidates should have clear potential or evidence 
of success in publishing scholarly work in respected academic journals, 
obtaining extramural funding, providing thesis supervision, providing 
outstanding instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and 
contributing service to the department, university, and profession.  For 
more information about the Applied Psychology program, please consult: 
<http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu/index.html>http://www.psychology.sdsu.edu/ms.html.

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY: ADVANCED ASSOCIATE OR FULL PROFESSOR. Candidates must 
hold a PhD from an APA-accredited program in clinical psychology and be 
licenseeligible in CA. We seek candidates with research and clinical 
expertise in the area of Experimental Psychopathology (adult or child). 
Competitive candidates will have an active research program and a history 
of extramural support. The successful candidate will be committed to 
excellence in teaching in advanced doctoral level seminars, research 
supervision and mentoring, clinical supervision, and masters or 
undergraduate courses.  The successful candidate will take a leadership 
role in the Experimental Psychopathology track; however, cross-disciplinary 
research that integrates interests in Behavioral Medicine or 
Neuropsychology is also of interest. For more information about the 
SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program, please consult:

have current funding or demonstrate strong potential for attracting 
extramural support. Teaching responsibilities will include seminars and 
research/clinical supervision at the doctoral level, as well as masters and 
undergraduate courses. The successful candidate will have a primary 
affiliation with the Experimental Psychopathology track of the doctoral 
program in Clinical Psychology offered jointly with UCSD as described 
above; however, a cross-disciplinary research program that integrates 
interests in Behavioral Medicine or Neuropsychology is also of interest.

social psychology. Instructional responsibilities include general and 
special-topic courses in social psychology at the undergraduate and 
graduate levels and core courses in our newly developing social psychology 
masters program. Candidates should demonstrate excellence of research in a

responsibilities will include both undergraduate and graduate courses in 
the biological principles of behavior. Candidates must demonstrate strong 
potential for obtaining extramural support and for maintaining an active 
research program with a focus on brain behavior relationships. Candidates 
whose research involves the use of animal models to study the neural bases 
of behavior, neuronal plasticity, learning and memory, or the biological 
basis of substance abuse or psychopathology are especially encouraged to 
apply.

DEVELOPMENTAL COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE: ASSISTANT PROFESSOR. Candidates must 
hold a PhD in a domain of Psychology which reflects expertise in 
Developmental Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience.  We seek an individual 
who investigates developmental issues within a Cognitive Neuroscience 
framework.  Such an individual might study the neural underpinnings of 
language acquisition, the development of cognitive processes (e.g., 
attention, memory, and higher cognitive/executive function) or 
social/emotional development. We especially encourage applications from 
candidates with experience in brain imaging, electrophysiology, and other 
cognitive neuroscience techniques for in vivo brain assessment.  Teaching 
responsibilities will include undergraduate breadth courses in 
Developmental Psychology and an occasional senior/graduate level course in 
a specific area of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience.  Candidates should 
demonstrate strong potential for obtaining extramural funding and 
maintaining an active research program with a developmental focus on
