University of Delaware, College of Arts & Sciences, 2 Faculty Positions in social psychology in Psychological and Brain Sciences, Associate Professor Level

The University of Delaware invites applications for TWO tenured associate professors in social psychology to begin September 1, 2018. For the first position we are seeking to hire a scholar with a solid social psychological and interdisciplinary background who studies a consequential problem - for example, diversity issues, health and wellness, social justice, health disparities, or prejudice and stereotyping.

For the second position we are seeking to hire someone whose social psychological research program intersects with questions of political behavior, broadly defined. This scholar will have a 75% appointment in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and a 25% appointment in the Department of Political Science and International Relations and will be expected to contribute to political science's growing political psychology group. It should be noted that the Department of Political Science and International Relations is simultaneously conducting an additional associate level political psychology search ( http://apply.interfolio.com/46263), to be housed primarily in that department with 25% appointment in Psychological and Brain Sciences. Applicants may wish to consider either position, depending on their primary discipline.

The ideal applicants will have a strong record of programmatic interdisciplinary research and securing external funding. Applicants who use a multi-method approach and have interests/expertise in biological measures (e.g., neuroimaging, electrophysiological, peripheral and/or psychophysiological methods, computational modeling) are especially encouraged to apply. The exact content area is open for both positions - scholarly excellence is preferred above all else. This is an outstanding opportunity for scholars to join and strengthen a growing social program in a department that already has a promising core of interdisciplinary researchers utilizing cutting edge methodologies.
