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 currently advertising for a position in social
development (see ad pasted below). We have made a number of recent hires
and we have now seven faculty members with primary affiliations in the
developmental area—Simona Ghetti, Gail Goodman, Katharine Graf-Estes,
Kristin Lagattuta, 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, Kevin Grimm, Keith Widaman) and social
and personality development (Rick Robins, Phil Shaver). Additional
information about developmental area and the associated faculty in the
department can be found at
http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/psychareas/?AreaID=1&link=23

At UC Davis, there are also strong, interdisciplinary groups with interests
in development, including the Human Development Graduate Group (
http://humandevelopment.ucdavis.edu/), which is currently conducting a
search for a developmental cognitive neuroscientist, and the M.I.N.D.
institute (http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/mindinstitute/). In addition, there
are 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 these centers and groups, as
well as close collaborations with researchers primarily associated with
them.

Please contact me, Rick Robins (rwrobins@ucdavis.edu), or Ross Thompson (
rathompson@ucdavis.edu) if you have questions about the job opening or the
exciting developmental research being conducted at UC Davis.
