CHAIR
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA

CHAIR.  The Department of Psychology, College of Arts and Sciences, at
the University of South Carolina invites applications for the position
of Chair of the Department.  We seek a distinguished scholar with an
active research program to lead the Department in a time of significant
opportunity.  A record of academic administrative accomplishment is
desirable.  Candidates should be eligible for appointment at the rank of
full professor.  Applicants from any subspecialties will be considered.
Chair appointments are typically for 3 to 5-year terms and may be
renewed once.

The Department of Psychology is a leading department contributing to the
research and teaching mission of the university. The Department offers
BA and BS degrees, and a PhD degree via experimental psychology,
clinical-community psychology and school psychology.  Departmental
research focus areas include Child and Family, Developmental Cognitive
Neuroscience, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Prevention Science, and
Reading and Related Processes.  Among its 45 full-time faculty, the
department includes prominent researchers — the Bicentennial Chair in
Behavioral Neuroscience, three Carolina Distinguished Professors, and 4
of the past 10 winners of USC’s Russell Research Award for Humanities
and Social Sciences —and has garnered over $5 million per year in
extramural funding for the past three years making it one of the top
five departments at USC.  Psychology is the second largest undergraduate
major on campus and our graduate programs lead to successful career
placements for our PhD’s.  Department faculty members are key leaders in
campus-wide areas of research excellence (see
www.sc.edu/research/pdf/Biomedical.pdf and
www.sc.edu/research/childfamily ).  We anticipate twelve to fifteen new
hires in the next six years.   The department includes a newly
established Neuroimaging Center with animal fMRI and with human fMRI
capabilities to be available in early 2005, and a Credibility Assessment
center with an emphasis on neuroscience supported by the DOD. Visit the
department website at www.psych.sc.edu.

undergraduate students and 8000 students in graduate and professional
programs. Columbia has a metropolitan population of approximately
500,000 and provides a variety of professional and cultural

We will begin screening applicants on December 1, 2004, and continue
until the position is filled. We anticipate that the appointment will
begin by the midsummer, 2005. Applicants should send a letter of
