Two Tenure Track Faculty Positions at the University of Miami

University of Miami, Adult Clinical Psychology Division seeks a tenure track Assistant or Associate Professor starting in the fall of 2016. 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. 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 clinical psychologist whose interests would complement and supplement those of the existing faculty group. We would welcome an experimental clinical psychologist, with an interest in self-regulatory processes, defined broadly from a cognitive, personality, and/or emotional perspective. With regard to specialty area, we are open to a wide range of possibilities. Our primary concern is that candidates use sound research methods to investigate important questions and problems. Ph.D. in clinical psychology from an APA accredited program or equivalent required. 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. 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/. Review of applicants will begin immediately and we expect to begin the recruitment process early in the fall of 2015. Applicants should send a CV, reprints and/or preprints, a statement of research and teaching interests, and 4 letters of reference to adultsearch@psy.miami.edu. The University of Miami is an Equal Opportunity Employer – Females/Minorities/Protected Veterans/Individuals with Disabilities are encouraged to apply.  Applicants and employees are protected from discrimination based on certain categories protected by Federal Law.
