[ACT-R-users] Faculty Position Available - Associate Professor

[David Eccles]

Dear colleague,

This is an informal call for your input regarding a position at here at LSI, at FSU. 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.
