Position Summary:
The Department of Psychology, College of Science, VIRGINIA TECH , invites applications for TWO Assistant Professor tenure-track faculty positions in Clinical Science to begin August 2019 in our nationally awarded (2017 ABCT Outstanding Training Program) and dually accredited ( APA and PCSAS ) program. Virginia Tech's clinical science area emphasizes the integration of science and practice in research and training, and highly values efficacy and effectiveness research, dissemination and implementation science, health improvement, and preventive intervention across the lifespan. In order to complement our existing strengths, we are especially interested in candidates with diverse emphases in minority or rural mental health and health disparities, translational psychological science, intervention efficacy and effectiveness, transdiagnostic mechanisms, neuroscientific approaches, dissemination and implementation in community settings, policy development, and/or innovative service delivery. We seek clinical scientists with a successful track record in research, obtaining (or potential for obtaining) extramural funding, and teaching effectiveness. Candidates will be expected to conduct programmatic research, teach graduate and undergraduate courses, mentor undergraduate and doctoral students, and engage in department, college, and university-level service activities.
Content area is open, but we prioritize the use of scientifically informed methods to enhance mental and physical health, wellbeing, and healthy decisions through the interplay of research, application, and implementation across diverse and underserved populations. Our faculty have multiple interests including risk/resiliency and adaptation across contexts, decision making, developmental psychopathology, stress and coping, emotion regulation, and neuroscience perspectives cutting across conditions such as autism, anxiety, PTSD , depression, obesity, and drug use.
As a hub discipline, research in the Clinical Science area aligns with several of the university's Destination/Strategic Growth Areas (https://www.provost.vt.edu/destination_areas.html), most notably Adaptive Brain and Behavior across the lifespan, Data and Decisions, Global Systems Science, Policy, and Equity and Social Disparity in the Human Condition. Consistent with Virginia Tech's land grant mission, the Clinical Science area is dedicated to public health and service, which allows successful candidates to have potential collaborations across the university, including the Virginia Tech School of Medicine, the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, School of Neuroscience, School of Public and International Affairs, Master of Public Health Program, Center for Transformative Health Behavior, and the Center for Autism Research.
