ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
Community-Based Health and Social Disparities Research
University of South Carolina
The Department of Psychology invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor for candidates whose research programs focus on health and social disparities (e.g., physical health, psychological well-being). We seek candidates with experience in community-based prevention and intervention research who will (a) be competitive for national funding initiatives, (b) contribute to USC’s priority on health-focused research, and (c) complement the university’s mission to address the health and welfare of state residents. Qualifications include a promising record in original research, a commitment to quality teaching, and a doctoral degree or satisfactory progress toward completion of a doctoral degree in psychology or a related field.
We seek a scholar with expertise in community-engaged health disparity research to understand interactions between individual and environmental factors that can affect health and social disparities in health. The Assistant Professor will be expected to build a strong research program investigating the role of social, cultural, policy, or environmental influences on psychological well-being and health. Specific responsibilities include (1) creating research collaborations with community settings to investigate health disparities and related social conditions, (2) seeking and obtaining external funding for community-based research, (3) offering research and learning opportunities to graduate and undergraduate students.
