The Department of PSYCHOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, invites applications for a full-time, nine-month, tenure-accruing, OPEN-AREA Assistant Professor with special emphasis in QUANTITATIVE METHODS, beginning August 16, 2024. We encourage applications from any research orientation in psychology and the position is open to candidates who employ a wide variety of methodological tools or approaches (including, but not limited to, computational modeling, statistics, artificial intelligence, structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling, network analysis, and longitudinal data analysis). Applicants will be expected to maintain an outstanding program of research with high potential for external funding, teach psychology graduate and undergraduate courses, advise students, and provide service to the institution.

The Department of Psychology values interdisciplinary approaches to research and training, and strongly encourages collaboration across its five programs (behavior analysis, behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, counseling, social, and developmental psychology). An ideal candidate would bring methodological expertise that contributes to and enhances the research profile and extramural funding of one or more of these programs.
