SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON—OPEN-RANK (TWO POSITIONS): The Department of Educational Psychology invites applications for two (ope-rank) tenure-track faculty positions for its expanding APA-accredited and NASP-approved Ph.D. program in school psychology. Although a fall 2012 starting date is anticipated, candidates who may be able to start in January 2012 are especially encouraged to apply. The University of Houston (UH), which was granted Carnegie tier-one Research status in January 2011, is also one of the most ethnically diverse comprehensive research universities in the United States. Although we anticipate that one of the positions will assume the role of Director of Training, those responsibilities may also be shared between the positions. Both positions will include: teaching graduate courses in assessment, intervention, or consultation, supervising doctoral research and practicum experiences, scholarly productivity appropriate for a tier-one Research University, and service to the program, college, university and the profession. Successful candidates will possess the doctorate, preferably from an APAaccredited school psychology program, and should be license-eligible as a psychologist in Texas. Experience as a school psychologist in a diverse K–12 setting is preferred. Mid-career to senior faculty will be expected to demonstrate a strong record of external funding to accompany strong scholarly teaching and service records. Untenured candidates will be expected to demonstrate strong scholarly potential, as well the potential to secure external funding. New graduates with scholarly potential also are encouraged to apply. Candidates may expect that their research agendas can be supported and expanded due to the strong training and research relationships we have established with 1) several of the 56 school districts in the area, 2) multiple facilities within the nearby Texas Medical Center (e.g., the Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children’s Hospital, the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, and the M. D. Anderson Children’s Cancer Center), and 3) diverse community agencies (e.g., the Harris County Mental HealthMental Retardation Authority, the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and the Harris County Children’s Psychiatric Center). We believe that the breadth and depth of interprofessional training and research experiences our practicum students obtain in these settings with diverse populations, problems, and procedures have contributed importantly to the success our students have experienced in obtaining APA-accredited internships. Screening of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. Applicants should submit a letter of application/interest which describes 1) area of current research interest and external funding history or potential, 2) teaching experience and philosophy, and 3) interest and qualifications for the position.
