Position Information

Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit	The primary purpose of the Psychology and Neuroscience Department is to provide excellent education, research and service in the field. This goal breaks down into four important components: 1) to teach psychology and neuroscience to undergraduates in a manner that will introduce them vigorously to its broad scope; 2) to offer scientific and professional training to graduate students in the areas of behavioral and integrative neuroscience, clinical, cognitive, developmental, quantitative, and social psychology; 3) to carry out cutting-edge research in these areas, and 4) to provide consulting and administrative support services to the science and profession of psychology as well as to the university, the community, the state, and the nation. The Department consists of six programs: behavioral and integrative neuroscience; clinical psychology; cognitive psychology; developmental psychology; quantitative psychology, and social psychology. Each program is designed to acquaint the student thoroughly with the theoretical and research content of the specialty and to provide training in the research skills needed to become a competent and creative investigator. In addition, the programs focus on the development of appropriate professional skills. The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience ranks 2nd in the College in grant funding with over $12 million annually in grant expenditures and approximately $20 million annually in expenditures from all funds. The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience has the largest undergraduate major in the College of Arts and Sciences with approximately 1500 majors, and one of the largest graduate Ph.D. programs with approximately 120 graduate students. The Department is also home to four community clinics which generate fee revenue (Adult Clinic, Anxiety Clinic, Child and Family Clinic, Couples Clinic), known collectively as the UNC Psychology and Neuroscience Community Clinic (the Clinic).
Position Summary	The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has the extraordinary opportunity to recruit a new endowed tenure-track faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin July 2023. The faculty member’s teaching and scholarship will result in active and ongoing participation in the Department’s new Center on Technology Use, Brain, and Psychological Development. We are particularly interested in scholars who examine the intersection of technology use, brain, and/or psychological development with potential focus on cognitive, neural, social, cultural, emotional, and behavioral functioning. We particularly welcome a scientist whose work fits into one or more of the following areas: adolescent development, early child development; digital media/gaming use, developmental cognitive neuroscience, social affective neuroscience, developmental psychopathology, media and culture. The faculty member will be named the Winston Family Distinguished Fellow. The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience has faculty across 6 program areas (Behavioral & Integrative Neuroscience, Clinical, Cognitive, Developmental, Quantitative, and Social Psychology), providing opportunities for exciting collaboration and innovation. A scholar working in this area could build collaborative relationships with colleagues throughout our Department, as well as the UNC School of Education, the Gillings School of Global Public Health, the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, the Carolina Population Center, the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, the School of Social Work, or the School of Medicine. The department and university are committed to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, and advancing the ideals espoused at https://diversity.unc.edu and our department website at https://psychology.unc.edu/. We welcome applications from candidates who will add to the department’s diversity.
