    The Department of Psychology at the University of South Carolina plans to fill three tenure-track positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the following areas:

    (1) COGNITIVE psychology. We are looking for candidates whose research and teaching will contribute to graduate training in cognitive psychology and intersect with the department's developing research focus areas in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience or Reading and Related Processes.

    (2) QUANTITATIVE psychology with specific interests in either longitudinal methods, hierarchical linear modeling or structural equation modeling. The successful candidate should have a substantive area of research that would contribute to one of the department's research focus areas (1) Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, (2) Measurement and Evaluation, (3) Prevention Science, (4) Reading and Related Processes, and (5) Relationship Processes, and expect to make significant contributions to both basic and advanced quantitative training at the graduate level.

    (3) SCHOOL or EDUCATIONAL psychology. The successful candidate's research and teaching will contribute to graduate training in our nationally ranked doctoral program in school psychology. The department has particular interest in candidates who bring experience and expertise in the area of instructional interventions (e.g., instructional design, aptitude-treatment interactions, effect of schools and classes on learning, cognitive strategies, and motivation). The ideal candidate's research activity would intersect with one of the department's research focus areas which include Reading and Related Processes, Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Prevention Science, Measurement and Evaluation, and Relationship Processes. Candidates for this position must be eligible for South Carolina certification and/or licensure in school psychology.

    All applicants at the assistant professor level should demonstrate strong promise as research scholars. Candidates for appointment at the associate professor level should have a demonstrated record of scholarship and funded research. All applicants should send a vita, three letters of reference, and copies of at least two reprints or preprints to the relevant search committee chair c/o Department of Psychology, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208-0182. Additional information about the university and the department is available at www.sc.edu. Candidates with files completed by November 1, 1998 will receive the fullest consideration for these appointments, but the searches will remain open until suitable candidates have been appointed. The Department invites applications from women and minorities to enhance the current diversity of the faculty. The University of South Carolina is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
