Dec 19, 2014
The Department of Psychology in the College of Juvenile Justice & Psychology (COJJP) at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) seeks to fill two tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor level. The Psychology Department offers graduate courses leading to a Master of Science degree in Juvenile Forensic Psychology and a Ph.D. degree in Clinical Adolescent Psychology. The department is seeking outstanding candidates who can offer a range of expertise in various subfields of psychology (e.g. community, crosscultural, statistics, developmental, forensic, neuroscience or social) which will expand instead of duplicate the expertise of our current faculty. The successful candidates will be responsible primarily for teaching undergraduate courses, will have the opportunity to develop courses related to their own research agenda, and will maintain their active research agenda that would be consistent with the college’s mission. Additionally, this position requires fulfilling service commitments within the department, college, university and the profession. Thus, the successful candidate would mirror the Department of Psychology in the College of Juvenile Justice & Psychology at Prairie View A&M University, as the entire institution is committed to excellence in education, training, prevention and service.
PVAMU, a member of the Texas A&M University System, is a public land grant university located 45 miles northwest of Houston, Texas, the nation’s fourth largest city. PVAMU has an enrollment of more than 8,000 students and offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in a variety of disciplines. The University’s target service area for undergraduate, graduate and outreach programs includes the Texas Gulf Coast Region; the rapidly growing residential and commercial area known as the Northwest Houston Corridor; and urban Texas centers.
QUALIFICATIONS: To be considered for the position, applicants should have an earned doctorate from a regionally accredited university in psychology and have credentials that warrant appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor. The successful applicant must demonstrate the ability to teach diverse groups of students at the undergraduate level. Although ABDs will be considered, the successful applicant must complete their doctoral degree within one year of appointment.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Application materials should be received by February 15, 2015, but the search will continue until the position is filled.
