Cross-Cultural Cognitive Development Position
Applications are being accepted for a 9-month tenure-track appointment in
Cross-Cultural Cognitive Development at the Assistant or Associate
Professor level with a joint appointment in the Experiment Station. Fiscal
year term employment (i.e., 11-month appointment) will be offered and
continued based on academic personnel review. Faculty advise and teach at
the undergraduate and graduate levels. Candidates will be expected to
teach, develop a research program that focuses on cultural and other
contextual determinants of variations in human cognitive development, and
guide graduate student research. Candidates must hold an earned Doctoral
or equivalent degree in Psychology, Human Development, or related filed,
and a record of research in cognitive development. Knowledge of
brain-behavior relationships is desirable.
Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) is responsible for an
undergraduate degree program which enrolls over 500 majors, and forms the
core faculty for both an M.S. degree program in Child Development and a
Ph.D. program in Human Development. Research and teaching interests of
HDFS encompass the life cycle from birth to old age. Faculty research
includes projects ranging from those focusing primarily on contextual
determinants of behavioral development to projects focused upon the
organismic substrate of such growth. Faculty of HDFS are engaged in
collaborative efforts with faculty from other campus departments such as
Anthropology, Psychology, Nutrition, and Psychiatry, and with researchers
from other University of California campuses as well as other universities
in the United States and abroad.
With their applications, interested parties should include statements
outlining, in general, their plans for future research, detailing any
