Two openings each are in Psychology-Law and Developmental Science.

Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in psychology, demonstrate clear potential for a distinguished scientific career, and demonstrate potential to attract external funding. Applicants who have the ability and interest to teach graduate level statistics courses are especially encouraged to apply.
The Department of Psychology at The University of Alabama is an active and collegial department whose faculty and students are engaged in an array of clinical and experimental research, including averaging $3 million annually in external funding in recent years. There are 26 faculty, 85 graduate students, and 510 undergraduate majors in the department. The department has two Ph.D. programs: an APA-accredited Clinical Psychology program (with concentration areas in Psychology-Law, Aging, Clinical Health, and Clinical Child) and an Experimental Psychology program (with concentration areas in Developmental Science, Cognitive Psychology, and Social Psychology). The department has been recognized for its academic and research strengths by the University and has been given supplementary funding to expand. More information about the department can be found at psychology.ua.edu. The University of Alabama, founded in 1831, is the flagship campus of a three campus system.

Psychology-Law Two tenure-track positions are planned at Assistant Professor level in the Psychology-Law Concentration within the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program. The psychology-law program was the first of its nature in the nation. The Psychology-Law concentration has four faculty lines, and addresses scholarly applications of psychological knowledge to issues in the law, legal processes, and offender behavior. The current research interests of the psychology-law faculty are court testimony, mitigation evidence and assessments, delinquency, and psychology of offenders. Candidates are especially encouraged to apply whose research interests bring new knowledge to the department and whose interests allow for collaboration with other areas within the department. Candidates with a programmatic plan of research and with a commitment to learner-centered teaching are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates should be graduates of an APA-accredited clinical psychology program, have completed an APA-accredited internship, should be eligible for Alabama licensure, and should be able to provide clinical supervision.

Developmental Science Two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions are planned in the Developmental Science concentration within the Experimental Psychology Ph.D. program. The Developmental Science concentration is a collaborative effort of the Department of Psychology and the Department of Human Development and Family Studies, and has the benefit of resources from both departments. Targeted for growth in the next few years, there are currently eight core faculty and a number of affiliated faculty across the two departments. Candidates in any area of Developmental Science are encouraged to apply, including social, cognitive, neurobehavioral, cross-cultural, etc. We are particularly interested in candidates who have had strong training in developmental psychology, whose primary interest is in developmental processes, who can add new expertise to the concentration, and who can collaborate within or outside of the concentration.
