<div><font face="Lucida Grande" size="+1" color="#000000">ASSOCIATE OR
TENURE-TRACK ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITION IN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY
- UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO - CANADA</font></div>
<div><font face="Lucida Grande" size="+1" color="#000000"><br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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<u>
doneill@uwaterloo.ca</u> or (519) 888-4567 ext. 2545.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
