[DIV28SUPER] West Virginia University Department of Psychology

TWO OPENINGS -- West Virginia University's Department of Psychology
(www.psychology.wvu.edu) invites applications for tenure-track faculty
positions beginning August 2011 in Behavioral Neuroscience at the rank
of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor and Applied Behavior
Analysis at the rank of Assistant Professor. The Behavioral
Neuroscienceposition will require an active research program in the
biological bases of behavior (particular areas of interest include, but
are not limited to, the psychobiology or developmental psychobiology of
emotion, affective processes, states of consciousness, sleep and sleep
disorders, circadian rhythmicity, and memory). For applicants at the
Associate level, a history of external grant support is expected. The
Applied Behavior Analysis position is defined broadly; we will consider
applicants with any specialization within applied behavior analysis that
complements the current Behavior Analysis faculty. Both positions
require a Ph.D. by the starting date and evidence of strong potential in
research and teaching, Responsibilities include undergraduate and
graduate teaching (including student research supervision and, for the
Applied Behavior Analysis position, practicum supervision) and research.
Interests in, and qualifications for, teaching advanced methodology
courses will be viewed favorably. Obtaining significant external
research support will be expected. Laboratory facilities will be
assigned in our Life Sciences Building, which houses the Departments of
Psychology and Biology. The Department's clinic provides opportunities
for delivering services and supervising graduate students. Additional
facilities and opportunities for both positions are available through
the University Health Sciences Center, Center for Excellence in
Disabilities, Center for Advanced Imaging, and the interdisciplinary
Ph.D. program in Neuroscience. The Department of Psychology has 24
full-time faculty, 90 graduate students, and 800 undergraduate
pre-majors and majors. Our position for a Behavioral Neuroscientist is
part of our development of a new Behavioral Neuroscience doctoral
program area. Ph.D. training also is offered in Behavior Analysis (ABA
accredited), Clinical and Clinical Child Psychology (APA accredited),
and Life-Span Developmental Psychology. Review of applications will
begin November 1, 2010, and continue until the positions are filled.
