ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND FAMILY SCIENCES: The Department of Human Development and Family Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin is seeking applicants for a tenure-track, assistant professor position to begin August 2018. Applicants should have a strong background and scholarly record in one or more of the department's research areas [https://he.utexas.edu/hdfs/research]. We are especially interested in candidates whose research focuses on child development, with an emphasis in infancy or early childhood.  The successful applicant will teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, conduct research, obtain external research funding, and complement existing department research areas. We are committed to building a diverse faculty and are interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and inclusion in higher education through their teaching, research, and service.

We are an interdisciplinary program focusing on individual, relationship, and family development within diverse ecological contexts.  Faculty research interests include infancy and childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, adult development and aging, parenting and caregiving, interpersonal relationships, health and biobehavioral processes, diversity and culture, and contexts of human development. To examine these topics, current faculty utilize a wide range of methodologies, such as experiments, lab observational data, ecologically contextualized observational methods, longitudinal and daily diary data, big data, secondary analysis, and analyses of biomarker specimens. We have a vital program with over 500 undergraduate majors, 25 doctoral students, and 14 faculty operating in a collegial and supportive environment.

Review of applications will begin October 2nd, 2017 and continue until the position is filled.  Applicants should have a Ph.D. in human development, family studies, psychology, sociology or a related social science field.
