*University of Miami*, Psychology Department's Adult Psychology Division seeks a tenure track Assistant or Associate Professor with expertise in quantitative methods starting in the fall of 2016. The existing Adult track faculty is a diverse and active group whose work integrates clinical science with basic research in personality, evolutionary, and motivational psychology. As a group, we are committed to the idea that an understanding of normal behavior fosters a better understanding of problem behavior. Much of the research currently being done by members of this group revolves around the following themes:
·Psychological, cognitive, motivational, neurological, and genetic influences on vulnerability to (and the course of) mood disorders, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders, and schizophrenia
·Basic processes of personality and self-regulation, including coping with stress
·Evolutionary analyses of human experiences ranging from religion and virtues (e.g., forgiveness and self-control) to disgust: their proximal antecedents, and their links to behavior, health, and well-being.
·Ways to enhance the effective treatment of mood and anxiety disorders and schizophrenia
·Processes that underlie the experience and regulation of various kinds of emotions and moods
We are seeking a psychologist whose interests would complement and supplement those of the existing faculty group. We would welcome candidates with expertise in modern quantitative methods and a focus on multilevel models, nonlinear models, missing data, or the analysis of neuroimaging data.With regard to content area of interest, we are open to a wide range of possibilities. Our primary concern is expertise in research and statistical methods.The person hired will be expected to continue to develop an independent research program. This person is also expected to be able to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate level, supervise graduate students in research, and serve on thesis, dissertation, and other departmental committees.Ph.D. in Psychology or equivalent degree required.Appointment at rank higher than Assistant Professor requires experience and qualifications commensurate with rank. A description of the Department's new MRI research facility can be found at http://www.psy.miami.edu/nis/.
