The University of Alberta's Augustana Campus, Department of Social Sciences invites applications for a tenure-track position in Psychology at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing January 1 or July 1, 2009.

Area of specialization is open; however, preference will be given to applicants who can teach undergraduate courses in the areas of clinical, forensic, aging/adult development, or personality. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach one course in the research methodology core of the program and to develop new courses in his or her area of expertise that contribute to the existing program. The discipline offers the opportunity to teach small classes at all undergraduate levels and mentor senior research students. Applicants must possess or be near completion of a PhD.

The University's Augustana Campus enrolls about 1000 students in baccalaureate degree programs on a picturesque residential campus in the city of Camrose, 90 km southeast of Edmonton. Augustana is committed to building on its reputation for rigorous, high-quality teaching in the tradition of the liberal arts and sciences, and, in doing so, providing a distinctive undergraduate academic experience for students within one of Canada's leading universities. It seeks to attract promising scholars who will share its enthusiasm for teaching in a small-campus environment, participate actively in a collegial culture of inquiry and public engagement, and flourish as researchers in an undergraduate, interdisciplinary, and rural location.

The ability to contribute to areas of interdisciplinary strength and interest will be an asset. Those areas include environmental studies, international development studies, rural and northern studies, and women's studies.
