Two Positions in Organizational Psychology

Department of Psychology

University of Maryland, College Park

With support from the University administration, the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland is continuing a phase of substantial growth and dynamic expansion. This year we invite applications for the following tenure-track positions:

Two Positions in Organizational Psychology (Assistant Professor Level).  We seek to hire two organizational psychologists. We are especially interested in applicants with interests in diversity in organizations (broadly defined), multilevel theory and research, group and team dynamics, social networks, workplace aggression, and/or occupational health, among other topics. Applicants whose interests also span research in social-decision-organizational sciences are particularly appealing. We are also particularly interested in applicants with strong quantitative interests (e.g., HLM, IRT, computational modeling, among others).

A key aspect of our department is that many faculty members participate in more than one program, thereby fostering a rich web of collaborations throughout the department.   For these positions, candidates who can contribute to other areas in addition to the one they are targeting are especially encouraged to apply. A full description of the Maryland Psychology Department can be viewed at: psychology.umd.edu.

Successful candidates for all positions will have a record of, or demonstrated potential of, securing external funding, excellent research productivity, and interest in forming collaborative research ties within and across programs and departments. A strong commitment to teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels is expected.

Salary is highly competitive, research conditions are excellent, and there are extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration both on campus and at universities and Federal laboratories in the Washington DC and Baltimore metropolitan areas.

The University of Maryland is an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.  Women, minorities, veterans, disabled veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Applications should consist of the following electronic documents (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a statement of research interests and plans, (3) a statement of teaching philosophy, experience, and interests, (4) PDFs of representative publications (Upload into eTerp field “Writing Sample 1”) and (5) three names and e-mail addresses of your reference writers.
