The Department of Psychology at the University of Connecticut
invites applications
for 3 full-time faculty,
two at the Assistant Professor level and
one at the Assistant, Associate, or Full level.
As part of the university's strategy to advance its research mission, the department seeks to enhance our complement of quantitative, analytic, and computational researchers as part of the development of an interdepartmental Systems Science Research network. Our goal is to attract researchers who address complex psychological phenomena using methods that allow for modeling nonlinear dynamic processes, causal relationships between variables or time series, or interrelated systems with emergent properties. Examples of such approaches include (but are not limited to) computational neuroscience, dynamic developmental processes, multilevel/latent organizational systems modeling, multi-agent modeling and social network analysis, and cognitive dynamical systems modeling. Candidates' application letters should address their quantitative graduate teaching preference(s) and specify the potential departmental division(s) within which they would best fit; see www.psychology.uconn.edu for the department's divisional structure.
