[visionlist] Open Cognitive Psychology Positions at Iowa State University

[derrick.parkhurst]

COGNITIVE/OPEN PSYCHOLOGY POSITIONS (ASSISTANT/ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR): The 
Psychology Department at Iowa State University invites applications for 
two tenure-track faculty positions (one of which may be filled at the 
tenured associate level).  The positions will begin August 2006.  At least 
one of the positions, and possibly both, will be in Cognitive Psychology.  
Specialty area is open, although expertise in cognitive 
neuroscience/biological aspects of human cognition is especially 
desirable.  

The second position may be within any of the department's program 
areas—Cognitive, Counseling, and Social Psychology.  Specialty area is 
open although research interests and activities that bridge areas would be 
considered an asset.  For example, judgment/decision making would bridge 
social and cognitive.  Other examples include, but are not limited to 
social neuroscience, violence/aggression, prevention, health psychology, 
and multicultural issues.   Expertise in Developmental Psychology 
(childhood, adolescent, adult, or lifespan) is highly desirable for all 
applicants. 

Successful candidates will have a record of publications in high-quality 
refereed journals commensurate with experience and show evidence of 
teaching proficiency. Candidates at the rank of associate professor should 
have a record of significant grant activity.  Couples, women, and members 
of under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

A research-friendly teaching load involving graduate and undergraduate 
instruction creates a favorable situation for a productive career in our 
supportive department.  Lab and office space were renovated in August 2003 
and additional space designed to support an EEG lab is being renovated in 
the current fiscal year.  Additional research and grant opportunities are 
available through affiliation with a variety of interdepartmental graduate 
programs (e.g., Neuroscience, Gerontology, Linguistics, Human Computer 
Interaction, and Women's Studies) and a variety of interdisciplinary 
institutes and centers (e.g., the Institute for Social and Behavioral 
Research, the Virtual Reality Applications Center, the Institute for 
Science and Society, the Center for Women in Politics, and the Center for 
American Intercultural Studies). The Counseling Psychology Program is APA 
accredited.  For further information, visit our web site:

October 15 and continue until the positions are filled. Candidates should 
send their vita, a cover letter describing research and teaching 
interests, relevant (p)reprints, and three letters of reference to: 
Veronica J. Dark (vjdark at iastate.edu), Search Committee Chair, Department 
of Psychology, W112 Lagomarcino Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, IA
