Counseling Psychology
We seek an assistant professor who is a strong researcher with a commitment to seek extramural funding in any area within the field of Counseling Psychology; however, we have a particular interest in individuals researching topics at the intersection of culture and health psychology, or who are able to collaborate with current faculty focusing on health psychology. Applicants should also have the ability to teach effectively at the undergraduate and graduate levels (including practicum) and be willing to contribute service to the department, college, university, and profession.

Applicants should have an exceptional record of programmatic research productivity, including extramural grants and publications reporting original research in leading journals, within any subarea of social psychology. Preference will be given to applicants whose research complements that of the existing faculty, with focus in areas related to health, identity, stigma, self-regulation, language, substance use, and attitudes and persuasion. We seek candidates who are willing to provide service to the department, college, university, and profession, and who demonstrate evidence of excellence in teaching.
