Job Description
The University of Central Florida (UCF) Department of Psychology seeks applicants for a tenure-track assistant professor in Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology to begin in Fall 2016. We seek a dedicated and collegial educator/scientist whose work closely integrates theory and application and who can establish collaborative relationships with other colleges at the university (e.g., Business, Medicine, Health and Public Affairs) and organizations in the surrounding area.
Our undergraduate program offers several classes in I/O psychology, social/personality, and measurement. Our M.S. program is dedicated to developing I/O professionals who have the skills to create and manage evidence-based solutions to organizational challenges. Our Ph.D. program develops I/O professionals who have the skills to conduct research that is both theory-based and problem-focused. We have awarded 55 Ph.D.’s and over 300 M.S. degrees since 2000. Our graduates are currently placed in academic positions (e.g., Clemson, USF, Johns Hopkins), in organizations (e.g., Google, Disney, Marriott, JetBlue University), in government (e.g., Navy, Army, NASA, Centers for Disease Control), and in university research positions (e.g., Virginia Commonwealth School of Medicine, Rutgers Career Development Center). Current I/O faculty expertise includes personality and work motivation, employment discrimination, leadership, employee selection, team performance, training and development, human performance measurement, and psychometrics.
Compensation for the nine-month appointment is competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. UCF is classified as a Very High Research Activity (RU/VH) university by the Carnegie Foundation and has one of the largest enrollments in the country (approximately 63,000). The Department of Psychology at UCF has over 50 full-time faculty, over 4,000 undergraduate majors, two master’s programs, and three doctoral programs including I/O Psychology, Applied Experimental and Human Factors Psychology, and Clinical Psychology.
