[#DIV28SUPER] Assistant Professor in EAB at the University of Kansas

Dear Colleagues:

 

The University of Kansas seeks a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Experimental Analysis of Behavior with the Department of Applied Behavioral Science to begin 8/18/2023. This position is a full-time, academic-year appointment. The University of Kansas is the state's flagship university, an R-1 institution and one of just 66 invited members of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU). Our university consistently earns high rankings for academics and recognition as a premier research university (engaging in $275 million of externally funded research annually). At KU we make it our mission to educate leaders, build healthy communities, and make discoveries that change the world. We aspire to be an exceptional learning community that lifts each other and advances society.  KU's strategic plan Jayhawks Rising is focused on objectives to accomplish this vision through three mission-based priorities of student success, healthy and vibrant communities, research, and discovery.

 

The Department of Applied Behavioral Science is one of the top 10 behavior analytic graduate programs based on research rankings (see Dixon et al., 2015) and second-most research-productive in applied behavior analysis (see Wilder et al., 2015). We seek outstanding applicants for an Assistant Professor with expertise in the experimental analysis of behavior and who can manage and operate a non-human animal laboratory (human operant research space is also available). Although the specific research focus is open, we are interested in recruiting a highly talented individual who can teach EAB and conceptual and philosophical courses in behavior analysis. Differential allocation of effort is 40% teaching, 40% research, and 20% service (see job description attached). 

 

For complete announcement and to apply online, go to:  https://employment.ku.edu/academic/23493BR. 

 

A complete online application includes the following materials: (1) cover letter; (2) curriculum vita; (3) research agenda; (4) teaching philosophy statement; and (5) the names and contact information for three professional references.  In addition to the materials above, learning about each applicant's contribution and engagement in areas of diversity is an important part of KU's mission. As such, applicants will be presented the following question at the time of application:  Describe your experiences working with people from diverse backgrounds, and explain how those experiences reflect your commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion.

 

First Review of applications will begin October 24, 2022 and will continue until the position is filled. Position inquiries can be directed to Department Chairperson, Prof. Florence DiGennaro Reed, fdreed@ku.edu.
