The School of Education at the University of Michigan invites applications for an open rank (tenured or tenure track) position to be affiliated with the Combined Program in Education and Psychology to begin Fall 2007. The Combined Program in Education and Psychology is an interdisciplinary program comprised of faculty members in the School of Education, Department of Psychology, and other units with interests in applying psychological methods to the understanding and improvement of educational processes, broadly construed.
We are looking for candidates who present evidence of an active research agenda and a program of scholarship focused on psychological approaches to social/motivational processes or other significant educational issues. We are particularly interested in candidates who take a contextual approach to their work, for instance, emphasizing ways that community, cultural, developmental, family, school/organizational, or social factors influence psychosocial and academic development. Candidates' research should have implications for current educational issues, such as school reform, urban education, racial/ethnic or socioeconomic achievement disparities, working with diverse populations, or positive youth development and add to our basic knowledge of processes that underlie development and competence. The successful candidate also will have demonstrated excellence in (or potential for excellence in) teaching and be committed to advising graduate students.
The University of Michigan has a long tradition of support for interdisciplinary research and education, and joint appointments with other departments or research centers are a possibility. Please submit letter of application, curriculum vitae, sample publications, and a list of three or more references with contact information to:
Dr. Stephanie Rowley or Dr. Addison Stone
