    TENURE-TRACK ASSISTANT PROFESSOR. Pending final administrative approval, the Department of Psychology at Kent State University seeks applications for four tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level starting in the 1999-2000 academic year. Applicants should have received a Ph.D. in psychology prior to their appointments. All positions involve teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels and the direction of theses and dissertations. Ability to teach graduate statistics courses is desirable. Teaching experience, an established publication record, and strong potential for extramural funding are expected. We are especially interested in applicants whose research complements that of current faculty, including health psychology, family relationships, psychopathology, higher-order cognitive processes, and forensic psychology. The Department houses a Psychological Clinic and an Applied Psychology Center. More information about the Department is available at our home page (http://www.kent.edu/~ksupsych/psych.htm).

    SOCIAL (1 position): We are especially interested in applicants with research interests in social cognition. This position includes teaching graduate and undergraduate social psychology courses.

    COGNITIVE (1 position): We are especially interested in applicants with an active program of research in higher-order cognitive processes, including those involved in reasoning, problem-solving, decision-making, remembering, and producing or comprehending language.

    CLINICAL (2 positions): Applicants must have received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from an APA-accredited program, must have completed an APA-approved pre-doctoral internship, and are expected to become licensed in Ohio. Clinical faculty typically are involved in the supervision of graduate students in our Psychological Clinic. Kent's clinical training program is APA-accredited and follows a scientist-practitioner model.

    Application deadline is November 1, 1998, but applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Application materials, including a statement of research interests, curriculum vitae, copies of publications and other supporting materials, summaries of teaching evaluations, and three letters of recommendation, should be sent to:

    Chair, (Clinical,Cognitive, or Social) Search Committee Department of Psychology Kent State University P.O. Box 5190, Kent, OH 44242-0001

    The Department of Psychology strongly endorses the affirmative action commitment of Kent State University. We have a diverse faculty and graduate student body and especially encourage applications from female and minority applicants as well as persons conducting research with these populations. Kent State University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
