TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON:
The Department of Psychology at the University of Houston anticipates four
tenure-track positions beginning Fall 2016.  Three are at the level of
Assistant or Associate Professor and one position is Open Rank.  The
positions are in the following areas:  Clinical Psychology (Clinical
Neuropsychology major area of study), Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience,
Industrial/Organizational, and Quantitative Methods.  Candidates for all
positions should demonstrate a record predictive of future scholarly
productivity, potential and commitment to develop a nationally competitive
program of research, and the ability to contribute to undergraduate and
doctoral programs. The department encourages cross-program and area
collaborations and affiliations. Individuals with cross-cutting disciplinary
and/or methodological interests are encouraged to apply.  Individuals with
strong methodological and content area expertise should indicate their
interest in being considered for multiple positions.

UH is located in the heart of the nation’s fourth largest city, and is one
of the most culturally and ethnically diverse public universities in the
nation, with over 40,000 students on the main campus. UH is a Tier One
research university and is designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution.
Nearby is the world’s largest medical center, the Texas Medical Center
(TMC). UH is a full member of the TMC linked through federal grants, research
institutes, faculty appointments, and other academic activities. Rice
University, with which we also have long-term connections, is also nearby. We
also maintain extensive partnerships with industries, school districts, and
NASA in the greater Houston area as well as with other departments and
schools at UH, such as the Schools of Pharmacy, Engineering, Optometry,
Natural Sciences and Mathematics, or Education. The newly opened Health and
Biomedical Science Building on the UH campus provides up-to-date research,
clinical, office and teaching space for many faculty.  Additional information
on the University is available at http://www.uh.edu  and on the Department of
Psychology at http://www.psychology.uh.edu.

Review of candidates for each position will begin October 15, 2015 and will
continue until the position is filled.

The University of Houston is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
employer. Minorities, women, veterans, and persons with disabilities are
encouraged to apply.

1.	CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY (NEUROPSYCHOLOGY MAJOR AREA OF STUDY).   The
Department seeks to hire a tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant or
Associate level whose primary research interests are in clinical
neuropsychology. UH is a Carnegie-Designated Tier One Public Research
University. The Clinical Psychology Program has been continuously accredited
by the American Psychological Association since 1959 and offers a
well-established Major Area of Study in clinical neuropsychology as part of
the clinical psychology program. The specific area of research within
clinical neuropsychology (topic, population, age range) is open, but
successful applicants will demonstrate evidence of research productivity and
potential for success in securing external funding. Candidates who can
interface with the other clinical program faculty (e.g., child clinical
psychology, adult behavioral disorders) and with the department’s graduate
programs in Social/Health Psychology, Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience,
and/or Industrial/Organizational Psychology are especially encouraged to
apply. Applicants must also demonstrate a clear commitment to excellence in
the supervision of graduate research, teaching at the graduate and
undergraduate levels, and in supervision of graduate clinical practica.

Applications may be submitted at http://jobs.uh.edu/postings/26986 and should
include a letter of interest, names and email addresses of three writers of
letters of recommendation (referees will be contacted via the online system
to submit letters directly), a current curriculum vita, representative
papers, and evidence of excellence in teaching.  Any questions may be
addressed to Dr. Steven Paul Woods, Clinical Neuropsychology Faculty Search
Committee Chair, Professor of Psychology, Phone: 713-743-6415, E-mail:
spwoods@uh.edu.

2.	DEVELOPMENTAL COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE.  The Department seeks to hire a
tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant or Associate level to join its
integrated program in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. Our program has
concentrations in Cognitive Development, Cognitive Neuroscience, and
Behavioral Neuroscience but, because students receive training in all areas,
it leads to a truly integrative educational experience.  We seek to add a
faculty member whose research interests fit broadly into the current program
yet expands its scope.  Current faculty in this program have research
interests that cover the lifespan, employ both human and animal approaches,
and focus on cognitive development, genetics of developmental disabilities,
human classroom learning, exercise-driven neuroplasticity, addiction
neurobiology, and neural bases of bilingualism. Area of research specialty is
open but preference will be given to candidates who conduct research in
humans and have either a developmental or cognitive approach.  Candidates
whose research bridges to other areas of the department are especially
encouraged.  Commitment to excellence in research is essential and the
successful candidate will be expected to maintain an externally funded
program of research in their chosen area and to direct graduate student
research.  Commitment to teaching is also required and individuals should be
interested in and capable of offering courses in their topic areas and as
well as general courses in Developmental or Cognitive Psychology.
Applications may be submitted at http://jobs.uh.edu/postings/26988 and should
include a letter of interest, three letters of recommendation, a current
curriculum vita, representative papers, and evidence of excellence in
teaching.  Any questions may be addressed to Dr. Therese A Kosten,
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Search Committee Chair, Phone:

3.	INDUSTRIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL.  The Department seeks to hire a tenure-track
faculty member at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in
Industrial/Organizational Psychology.  We seek applicants with interest in
building a nationally competitive research program. Potential for scholarly
productivity in top I/O journals is more important than the specific area of
expertise in the field.  Since 1950, the I/O PhD program has subscribed to
the scientist-practitioner model and remains committed to training students
for successful research careers.

Applications may be submitted at http://jobs.uh.edu/postings/26987 and should
include a letter of interest, statements of teaching/mentoring philosophy and
research interests, names and email addresses of three writers of letters of
recommendation (referees will be contacted via the online system to submit

evidence of teaching effectiveness (if available).  Any questions may be
addressed to Dr. Alan Witt, Industrial Organizational Search Committee Chair,
Phone: 713-743-3253, E-mail: witt@uh.edu.

4.	QUANTITATIVE METHODS.  The Department seeks to hire a tenure track (open
rank) faculty member in the area of quantitative methods.  Candidates should
have a record of scholarly productivity and a nationally competitive program
of research appropriate to rank, and an interest and ability to contribute to
undergraduate and doctoral research and teaching programs.  The specific area
of quantitative focus is open, but candidates with interests in Bayesian
methods, experimental design and analysis, regression, multivariate methods,
multi-level and structural equation models, categorical and latent class
models, methods for high-dimensional data, and/or robust statistics are
especially being sought.  Applicants should be prepared to participate in the
Department's core quantitative undergraduate and graduate instructional
curricula. Primary and secondary affiliations are encouraged with the
Department’s doctoral programs in I/O, Social/Health, Developmental
Cognitive Neuroscience, and Clinical Psychology (adult, child, and clinical
neuropsychology major areas of study), the Texas Institute for Measurement,
Evaluation, and Statistics, and the Center for Advanced Computing and Data
Systems, which are university-wide research centers.

Applications may be submitted at http://jobs.uh.edu/postings/26985 and should
include a cover letter describing teaching and research interests, names and
email addresses of three writers of letters of recommendation, a current
curriculum vita, representative publications, and evidence of excellence in
teaching.  Upon application submission, referees will be contacted via the
online system to submit letters directly, though not for senior applicants.
