graduate and undergraduate education, as well as to university and national
service. Georgia State University is a Doctoral/Research Extensive
University with a diverse student body located in downtown Atlanta. The

undergraduate majors. The Department also plays a significant role in

issues (Assistant or Associate Professor): We are seeking applicants with
interests in quantitative methods in psychology who can contribute to the

increase research on urban health in four areas: injury and violence,
substance abuse and mental health, HIV/AIDS and infectious disease, and
chronic disease and aging. We are interested in candidates whose program of
research contributes both methodologically and substantively to one or more
of these areas, who would be able to teach psychological statistics and/or

department plays a significant role in several interdisciplinary University
centers and initiatives and we are looking for a colleague who can

diversity of the University's faculty and are particularly interested in
scholars who seek to understand development within diverse populations.
