Subject: [COGDEVSOC] two faculty positions in developmental psychology at UC
Davis
To: COGDEVSOC@listserv.umd.edu
Dear Colleagues:
We wanted to make you aware of the exciting expansion in developmental
psychology within the Department of Psychology at the University of
California at Davis. We are advertising for two new faculty lines in
development--one in social development and one in cognitive development
(see ads pasted below). Within the department, we have six faculty
members with primary affiliations in developmental psychology--Simona
Ghetti, Gail Goodman, Kristin Lagatutta, Lisa Oakes, Susan Rivera, and
Ross Thompson.There is also a strong group of faculty with interests
in development in other areas of the department, including quantitative
methods for analyzing developmental data (Emilio Ferrer, Keith Widaman)
and social and personality development (Rick Robins, Phil Shaver).
Additional information about developmental psychology and the
associated faculty in the department can be found
athttp://psychology.ucdavis.edu/psychareas/?AreaID=1&link=23#core.
There are also strong, interdisciplinary groups with interests in
development, including the Human Development Graduate Group
(http://humandevelopment.ucdavis.edu/) and the M.I.N.D. institute
(http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/mindinstitute/).UC Davis has outstanding
programs in neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience, and faculty with
developmental interests are affiliated with the Center for Neuroscience
(http://neuroscience.ucdavis.edu/) and the Center for Mind and Brain
(http://mindbrain.ucdavis.edu/). Developmental faculty members in the
department of psychology have appointments in such centers and groups,
as well as close collaborations with researchers primarily associated
with them.
Please contact one of us if you have questions about the two job
openings or the exciting work being conducted in development at UC
Davis.

withdrawal; emotion regulation; relational influences on personality
development; social and cultural contexts). We are also interested in
candidates whose work bridges traditional areas (e.g., social and
cognitive development or developmental psychopathology)and/or whose
work relates to risk conditions or social policy issues. The successful
candidate will be expected to teach graduate and undergraduate courses
in developmental psychology. Requirements for the position include: a
Ph.D. degree, an active research program, a strong commitment to high
quality teaching, and, depending on level, the potential to attract, or
a strong record of attracting, extramural funds. Interested applicants
should submit a curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching
interests, representative reprints and/or preprints, and at least three
letters of recommendation.
Review of applications will commence on November 1, 2006, and continue

development, development of mental representations, computational
modeling of cognitive processes, executive function or cognitive
control, development of reasoning/problem solving). We are also
interested in candidates whose work bridges traditional areas (e.g.,
social and cognitive development, language and cognitive development,
developmental cognitive neuroscience), whose research involves multiple
methods (e.g., behavioral, imaging, computational modeling)and/or
whose work relates to children at risk or social policy issues.
Overall, strong candidates in any area of cognitive or language
development are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be
expected to teach graduate and undergraduate courses in developmental
psychology. Requirements for the position include: a Ph.D. degree, an
active research program, a strong commitment to high quality teaching,
