  The Department of Psychology at Penn State (http://psych.la.psu.edu/) is
recruiting (rank open) for a psychologist with expertise in advanced
quantitative methods. This position is co-funded by Penn State's Institute
for CyberScience through its cluster hiring initiative, which is recruiting
outstanding faculty members whose work exploits 'big data' and 'big
computing" in a variety of disciplines (see http://www.ics.psu.edu/hire.html).
Examples of possible areas of research focus include (but are not limited
to): (a) advanced analysis of imaging data, such as methods focused on
connectivity or multivariate pattern analyses of fMRI data; (b) analyses of
archival or large-scale observational data, such as videotaped social
interactions from multiple studies; (c) advanced methods and statistics for
estimating intervention effects while accounting for the role of individual
and contextual factors (e.g., Complex MLM, Mixture Modeling); and (d)
cutting-edge methods (e.g., technology-based experience sampling, massive
social media data) and statistics (e.g., time-series analysis, MLM, Dynamic
Factor Analysis, SEM) for modeling dynamic behavioral, cognitive,
social-affective, and psychophysiological processes and patterns of change
over time using longitudinal and intensive repeated measures data or other
big-data driven approaches. A PhD in psychology or related discipline is
required. The ideal candidate will have a research program that fits within
one or more of our core areas of graduate training (adult or child
clinical, social, cognitive, developmental, industrial/organizational). We
welcome candidates who can contribute to one or more of the cross-cutting
emphases within our department: Culture and Context,
Neuroscience/Biological Bases of Behavior, and Applied/Translational
Research. Applicants who can contribute to an overarching department
initiative to enhance diversity and our understanding of diversity are
particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates are expected to have a record
of excellence in research and teaching, and a history or promise of
external funding. Rich opportunities exist for collaboration within the
department and across the campus. The ideal candidate will have a
demonstrated ability to work across disciplines and in a team environment.
Review of applications will begin October 2014 and will continue until the
position is filled. Candidates should submit a letter of application
including concise statements of research and teaching interests, a CV, and
selected (p)reprints. Please arrange to have three letters of
recommendation sent electronically to PsychApplications at psu.edu with the
subject line of Quant Methods. Questions regarding the application process
can be emailed to Judy Bowman, jak8 at psu.edu, and questions regarding the
position can be sent to Aaron Pincus, alp6 at psu.edu.
