Department of Psychology
Social, Decision, and Organizational Sciences
With support from the University administration, the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland is entering a phase of substantial growth and dynamic expansion.
This year we seek to fill six tenured or tenure-track positions, of which TWO are in Social, Decision, and Organizational Sciences (SDOS). SDOS is an umbrella area comprised of social psychologists, organizational psychologists, and judgment and decision-making researchers who collectively study how individuals perceive and process information about their social environment and themselves, make decisions, and manage their interdependencies with others in dyadic, team, organizational, and societal contexts. Topics that we study in SDOS include, but are not limited to social cognition, self-regulation, stereotyping, decision making, conflict and negotiation, group dynamics, leadership, social networks, organizational climate and culture, and national culture.
Individuals trained in Social Psychology, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Decision Sciences, or some combination are encouraged to apply. We are especially interested in applicants who bridge across these traditional areas and who have strong methodological or quantitative skills.
The other four Ph.D. programs in our new training structure are Clinical Psychology; Cognitive and Neuroscience; Counseling Psychology; and Developmental Psychology. Many faculty members participate in more than one program, thereby fostering a rich web of collaborations throughout the department. Candidates who can contribute to one of these programs in addition to SDOS are especially encouraged to apply.
Successful candidates will have a record of, or demonstrated potential of, securing external funding, excellent research productivity, and interest in forming collaborative research ties within and across programs and departments. A strong commitment to teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels is expected. Rank is open, although we expect to hire mostly at the assistant or associate professor levels. Salary is highly competitive, research conditions are excellent, and there are extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration both on campus and at universities and Federal laboratories in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Washington</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">DC</st1:state></st1:place> metropolitan area.
