The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS) is seeking applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in psychology with training and research interests in childhood development. The area of specialization is open, but an interest in the biological bases of behavior, psychology and law, trauma psychology, or a cultural focus is desirable (though not required for full consideration). The position includes teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in developmental psychology and optional sub-fields. By August 2019 when the position begins, candidates must have a Ph.D. in psychology or a very closely related field from an accredited university.

UCCS faculty are committed to excellence in teaching and research, with the expectation that faculty maintain a productive program of research with commitment to obtaining external funding. The Psychology Department currently offers a BA program in Psychology, an MA program with tracks in Clinical Psychology and Psychological Science (with optional sub-plans), and a Clinical Psychology PhD with major areas of study in Geropsychology and Trauma Psychology (more information is available at https://www.uccs.edu/psych/).

To apply for the position, please go to https://www.cu.edu/cu-careers and click on “Find UCCS Opening.” Candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research and teaching statements, three representative research publications, and unofficial transcripts. In addition, arrange for at least three references to send letters of recommendation to psych@uccs.edu. Applications submitted through email or surface mail will not be considered. Official transcripts will be required upon hire.

Applications received by November 30 will receive full consideration; applications arriving later may also be considered.
