Dear Division 5 colleagues,

Could you please share the following announcement for a tenure-track assistant professor position in quantitative developmental methodology at Colorado State University? If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (Gloria Luong at gloria.luong@colostate.edu). Thank you!

The Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Colorado State University is searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of advanced quantitative developmental research methods.  The ideal candidate will contribute to our growing program in lifespan applied developmental science as a methodological expert and will apply their expertise to lifespan development and/or family studies. Specifically, we seek a faculty member who has experience with longitudinal data analysis and linear modeling. Expertise in a range of advanced multivariate statistical approaches (e.g., multilevel modeling, latent profile analysis, latent growth curve modeling, dyadic analysis, latent transition analysis), and the ability to secure external funding are expected.  Reflecting departmental and institutional values, candidates are expected to have the ability to advance the Department's commitment to diversity and inclusion.  The position is 9-month, full-time and will start in August 2019.
