Requirements: Successful candidates will have a PhD in Psychology/Neuroscience, Statistics/Data Science, or related field. This position will be affiliated with the Developmental & Brain Sciences (DBS) PhD program, the only Neuroscience program at a public university in the Boston area. Candidates should have a research program that overlaps with faculty in DBS and graduate mentees, but also sufficiently general analytical skills to provide consulting to faculty and students in both DBS and our APA-accredited Clinical Psychology PhD program. The ideal candidate will have a track record of excellence in 1) collaborative research, utilizing modern analytical techniques relevant to Psychology; 2) teaching, with classroom experience relevant to our undergraduate courses in statistics and research methods, our first-year graduate course in statistics for students in both the DBS and Clinical Psychology doctoral programs, as well as advanced courses on analytical techniques (e.g. robust, GLMM, SEM, and Bayesian methods - using R); and 3) student mentorship, including a commitment to support collaboration with graduate and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups. Preference will be given to a candidate committed to open science practices and whose perspective would support the social justice work of our Department.

Background: Our department serves a large undergraduate major, offering both a BA and BS in Psychology as well as two PhD programs (Developmental & Brain Science and Clinical Psychology). Most faculty conducting lab-based research have space in the Integrated Sciences Building, part of our campus on the Columbia Point peninsula, offering wonderful views of the city and Boston Harbor.

Application instructions: Electronic submission is required at https://hr.umb.edu/jobs (job no: 524559). Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, and research and teaching statements. Please also include contact information for three references whom we may contact for letters of recommendation.

UMass Boston is the third most diverse university in the country, with more than 60% of our undergraduate students coming from minoritized communities and groups and more than half of our students are the first in their families to attend a college or university. Thus, our students come to us from richly diverse life experiences and backgrounds; they bring to our classrooms and research settings the robust range of perspectives growing out of the socio-cultural, economic, and historical contexts in which they have lived, along with the challenges they encounter, engage, and strive to overcome.

Given this context, please articulate how your approach to teaching, advising, and mentoring: will engage with the diverse life experiences of students; will reflect an appreciation for the ways in which students bring their holistic selves into the academic setting; and will reflect how your own life experiences and background shapes your practices and commitments as an instructor, mentor, researcher, and scholar.

UMass Boston is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, we will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations for the hiring process.

University of Calgary: Assistant Professor, The Digital Child

The Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary invites applications for a tenure-track transdisciplinary position with a focus on The Digital Child at the rank of Assistant Professor (Teaching and Research). The successful candidate will be provided a five-year research-intensive term with reduced teaching commitments and initial research funding.

As part of the broader University of Calgary transdisciplinary recruitment program, 20 academic positions have been created to build capacity and provide leadership in support of the Ahead of Tomorrow Strategic plan. These scholars see challenges as opportunities that spark our singular mission – to dare to imagine ahead of tomorrow.

The significance of digital exposure on children and youth, may not only arguably affect the neurodevelopment of the brain but raises substantial questions about the social connectivity and belongingness of children. This proposed research attends to the evolving complexities of the development of children. Learnings through and from the recent pandemic and the explosion of Artificial Intelligence suggests a need to consider how young children develop cognitively, psychologically, socially, and emotionally in such disruptive times.

The proposed research program would bring together leading researchers to catalyze research and knowledge creation that envisions evolving conceptions of childhood and future learning environments. The transdisciplinary nature of this work would seek to examine the digital impacts on the cognitive-social development of children and how to bridge and scale up learnings to broader educational settings.

The appointments will commence July 1, 2024, or at a mutually agreeable date.

Preference will be given to candidates whose research focuses on how education is situated within and responsive to complex classrooms given the multifaceted worlds in which we live, learn and play. Applicants must have a strong disciplinary knowledge with an understanding of developmentally appropriate pedagogies that are responsive to diverse learning paths.

In addition to maintaining an active funded research program, the successful candidate will be expected to supervise graduate and/or undergraduate students, teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in their areas of specialization and demonstrate leadership in service, collaboration, and mentorship within the University and the community.

The successful candidate at the Assistant Professor (Teaching and Research) level must demonstrate evidence of a track record of publications in high quality journals, securing external research funding, and effectiveness in teaching at the university level.

The position provides an opportunity to establish a vigorous, sustainable, externally funded research, contribute to teaching and student supervision, and participate in leadership of related research, education, and service. This is an excellent opportunity to build and develop an innovative research program within a dynamic and collaborative environment. A competitive salary and an attractive start-up package will be provided.

The successful applicant will have:

A doctorate in Education (or related discipline);
A strong record of research and knowledge mobilization (commensurate with rank);
Ability to obtain research funding commensurate with rank;
Demonstrated capability in teaching
Engagement with local, national, and international professional and other communities (commensurate with rank).
