[DIV28M] Faculty Positions at Mississippi State University

MULTIPLE TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS IN PSYCHOLOGY

 

The Department of Psychology at Mississippi State University is experiencing an exciting period of growth and seeking to fill up to three tenure-track positions in Psychology for Fall 2012. The first two positions are in Clinical Psychology, one at the Assistant Professor level and one at the Assistant or Associate Professor level, approved for Fall 2012. A third position is expected to be at the Assistant Professor level (pending availability of funding) and the area of specialization (e.g., Cognitive, Cognitive Neuroscience, Clinical, Social) is open. 

 

For the positions in Clinical Psychology, applicants must have completed an APA-accredited doctoral program in Clinical Psychology. Successful candidates will maintain a program of scholarly research with potential or demonstrated history of obtaining external support), teach undergraduate and graduate courses, supervise graduate student research, and contribute to the department's clinical-emphasis M.S. psychology program. The area of specialization in Clinical Psychology is open. Applicants are expected to be willing to pursue professional licensure in Mississippi. A successful advanced level candidate would have potential to contribute to the administration of the MS Clinical program. The M.S. program is accredited by the Masters in Psychology Accreditation Council and enrolls excellent students through competitive admission, many of whom are subsequently admitted to doctoral programs. Candidates may have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a clinical Ph.D. program.

 

Mississippi State University is ranked by the Carnegie Foundation as a "very high research activity" institution with an array of centers and institutes receptive to collaborative research. In particular, the Department has a number of existing ties to the University's neuroimaging research center, which houses a 3.0T MRI, and to the Social Science Research Center. The Department also has an interdisciplinary Cognitive Science Ph.D. program and an experimental-emphasis M.S. program. These research centers and additional graduate programs may be beneficial to those candidates whose research could utilize such resources.  Applicants whose research complements existing strengths in the department and across the university are particularly encouraged to apply.

and also send electronic copies (e.g., pdf or doc) of a cover letter, statements of research and teaching interests, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, reprints/preprints, and teaching evaluations (if available) to: Dr. Kevin Armstrong, Chair, Psychology Search Committee, search.committee@psychology.msstate.edu - review of applications will begin December 1st, but applications will be accepted until positions are filled. Mississippi State University is an AA/EOE.
