I have been asked to consider people suitable for a mid-level position (i.e., Associate Professor), who would interested in joining LSI to undertake interdisciplinary work in the area of the psychology of skill acquisition and skilled and expert performance. The appointment would involve earning tenure in an academic department at FSU such as Psychology or Educational Psychology and Learning Systems (LSI is a research institute, not a formal academic department, and thus does not offer tenure). It would be expected that candidates have established funding connections with state and federal agencies or foundations. They will have published in outlets concerned with these topics such as applied psychology, applied cognitive psychology, applied experimental psychology, human factors, and cognitive field research. Faculty in LSI have reduced teaching and advising loads and thus have opportunities (as well as expectations) for grant capture and project delivery surpassing those associated with more traditional faculty.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>__<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>About LSI: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Located on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, the Learning Systems Institute is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to bridging the gap between research and practice in education and training. The institute develops practical and workable solutions in learning and performance, based on solid research. The Learning Systems Institute maintains project-based teams led by FSU faculty and graduate students with a wide range of experience in many varied disciplines. These multidisciplinary teams develop robust solutions using systems approaches to the planning, design, evaluation, and improvement of instruction, learning, and human performance. Over the past 40 years, the Learning Systems Institute has made significant contributions, nationally and internationally. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>__<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>About FSU:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One of the nation's elite research universities, Florida State University — with the Carnegie Foundation's highest designation, Doctoral/Research University-Extensive — offers a distinctive academic environment built on its cherished values and unique heritage, welcoming campus on the oldest continuous site of higher education in Florida, championship athletics, and prime location in the heart of the state capital.
