The
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY at EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY invites
applications for THREE tenure-track
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR positions. All
positions are expected to begin 8/15/16.
Two of the positions are in the
general area of CLINICAL/COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY.
For the Pediatric/Child Clinical position,
highest priority will be given to candidates with expertise or interest in
child or pediatric psychology; interest in rural mental health/primary care is
a plus but not a requirement of the position. For the Primary
Care position, highest priority will be given to candidates with expertise
and/or interest in primary care psychology, integrated care, or health
psychology. Applicants for both positions must have
completed an APA accredited doctoral program in clinical or counseling
psychology and an APA accredited psychology internship by 12/31/16, or be
currently licensed as a psychologist. Eventual
licensure is an expectation for both positions.
The third
position is in BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE. Applications from candidates using small
animals to model psychological processes are welcome. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. by
12/31/16 in the area of behavioral neuroscience, broadly defined, and is
expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in behavioral
neuroscience. Competency to teach in additional
areas such as psychopharmacology, cognitive psychology, sensation &
perception, experimental methods, and statistics will be helpful to the Department. The university maintains excellent AAALAC
accredited facilities.
Throughout
the hiring process, we look for evidence of candidates’ abilities to contribute to collegiality and good will within our
thriving department. The Department of Psychology at ETSU houses an
APA-accredited clinical Ph.D. concentration with a special focus on rural mental
health and primary care psychology, and has been identified as an exemplary
program in training students to practice in integrated settings. The department
also houses a complementary Ph.D. concentration in experimental psychology that
focuses on translational research.
The
department expects all successful candidates to establish and maintain active
research programs involving undergraduate and graduate students, and to pursue
extramural funding. Exceptional collaborative research opportunities across a
variety of psychological fields are provided by the James H. Quillen College of
Medicine, which operates under the auspices of ETSU, and is consistently ranked
nationally among rural colleges of medicine.
The
Department is family friendly, and welcomes applications from dual career
couples possessing credentials congruent with our advertised positions. ETSU is surrounded by the beautiful Blue
Ridge and Appalachian mountains, and is located in Johnson City, Tennessee,
which contributes to a metropolitan statistical area of 500,000 residents. The area enjoys a mild climate in both summer
and winter, and boasts numerous waterways, parks, trails, and resorts for year-round
recreational activities. The area has
been ranked as a desirable place to live by several national publications. In August 2012 Johnson City was identified by
CNNMoney as being among the nation’s Top 25 most affordable home markets. Candidates from underrepresented groups
