[Meredith Rowe]

Two Tenure-Track Assistant Professor Positions in Human Development
 
The Department of Human Development at the University of Maryland seeks two 
Assistant Professors, to join its faculty beginning August, 2011. For one 
position we seek a scholar whose research and teaching interests are in the area 
of social cognitive development; the individual filling this position will 
affiliate with the department’s developmental science area. For the second 
position, we seek an Assistant Professor whose research will complement and 
extend ongoing research programs, and this individual will affiliate with our 
educational psychology specialization. The 16 current faculty members in the 
Department have internationally renowned research programs on different aspects 
of human development and learning. 

 
The department offers doctoral specializations in developmental science and 
educational psychology, master’s degrees in human development and in early 
childhood development, an undergraduate minor in human development, and a 
teacher certification program in early childhood education. Graduates from the 
Department’s research-focused Ph.D. program take positions at major academic and 
research institutions. The Department has applied for a renewal of its 
NICHD-funded Training Program in Social Development and has other means of 
supporting doctoral students. The department houses a Center for Young Children 
lab school, and an Institute for Child Study. For more information about the 
current faculty’s research areas and the department’s programs visit 
www.education.umd.edu/EDHD/.
