University of Miami, Department of Psychology, Tenure-Track Position in Adult Clinical Psychology

Department of Psychology, College of Arts & Sciences, is seeking a full-time, tenure-track faculty member to join our department’s Adult Clinical Psychology division starting in the fall of 2019.  Appointment will likely be at the Assistant Professor level, but the possibility exists for an appointment at a higher level.

The existing Adult track faculty are 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. A broader description of the work done by this group can be found at http://www.psy.miami.edu/graduate/adult-division/

We are seeking an experimental psychopathologist whose interests would complement and supplement those of the existing faculty group. With regard to specialty, we are open to a wide range of possibilities. Ph.D. in Psychology or related field required. Although a clinical psychology degree is preferred, non-clinical candidates will also be considered.

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 both research and clinical domains, and serve on thesis, dissertation, and other departmental committees.

To ensure full consideration, apply by October 15, 2018. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, reprints or preprints, a brief statement of current research and teaching interests, and four letters of reference electronically to: online application.

Robert Trivers, Ph.D., presents Evolutionary Psychology & Ethics

In this two-part session Dr. Trivers will first lay out the theoretical map for ethical behavior, reciprocal altruism, cooperation and deception in human relationships. In part two he will explain the co-evolutionary struggle between deceiver and the deceived, the intrinsic bias in favor of the deceiver, and the evolution of self-deception to facilitate the efficacy of deceptive behavior. Active discussion and a Q&A section for attendees is included in both parts.
