Developmental Psychology/ Human Development. The Department of Psychology at Portland
State University has a tenure-track opening in Developmental Psychology beginning September
2010. The department has a strong field research orientation and has an Applied Psychology
doctoral program with specializations in Applied Developmental, Applied Social and
Community, and Industrial/ Organizational Psychology. Qualifications include a doctoral degree
in Developmental Psychology, Applied Developmental Psychology, Human Development,

have an established record of community-based externally-funded research and publication, or
demonstrated potential for establishing such a record. Candidates applying at the associate level
should demonstrate an established track record of grant-funded research, teaching, and service.
The area of specialization is open, but our program favors lifespan, social contextual, and
ecological systems perspectives. We are especially interested in candidates with research and
teaching expertise in developmental methodology (including design, measurement, and statistical
methods, e.g., analysis of multivariate longitudinal data, or evaluation of change processes) or
developmental science and education as part of the University’s K- 20 initiative (e.g., effects of
social inequalities on children’s academic development). Responsibilities include maintaining a
productive program of community-based research; securing external funding; teaching graduate
and undergraduate courses in developmental psychology, including courses related to the
applicant’s particular area of expertise; supervising graduate students’ theses and dissertations;
supervising graduate and undergraduate community-based practica and internships; and
contributing to service in the department, university and profession.
Portland State University values diversity and demonstrates this through its campus initiatives;
we particularly encourage members of historically under-represented groups to apply. The
Psychology Department maintains a supportive climate of cooperation, collaboration, and
collegiality. To learn more about our department see www.psy.pdx.edu; for further questions
