[Jobs] 7 positions at Penn State

[Leora Lawton]

The Departments of Sociology, Biobehavioral Health (BBH), Educational
Psychology, Counseling and Special Education (EPCSE), Human Development and
Family Studies (HDFS), Pediatrics, Psychology, and in conjunction with the
Children, Youth and Family Consortium (CYFC) at The Pennsylvania State
University, announce seven tenure track positions in child maltreatment as
part of the our University’s Network on Child Protection and Well-Being,
http://www.ssri.psu.edu/thenetwork/news/job-postings/penn-state-university-child-maltreatment-cluster-hire

We will hire one or more faculty members in each of these five departments
whose research interests and expertise fit within the broad area of child
maltreatment (position descriptions below). Penn State is committed to
building our academic mission in this important area and will hire at least
eight new faculty members over the next three years. The cluster hire will
build on our faculty’s long tradition of excellence in the area of
children, youth and families, which includes our academic departments as
well as the four foundational Centers of the Network:  the Child Study
Center, csc.psych.psu.edu, in the College of the Liberal Arts, the Center
for Children and the Law,
http://law.psu.edu/academics/research_centers/children_and_the_law, in the
Penn State Dickinson School of Law, the Center for the Protection of
Children,  http://www.pennstatehershey.org/web/protection-of-children/home
<http://www.pennstatehershey.org/web/protection-of-children/home>in the
Penn State Hershey College of Medicine, and the Prevention Research
Center, http://www.prevention.psu.edu
in the College of Health and Human Development.

Our expectation is that new hires will work actively to build a powerful
inter-disciplinary community of scholars and practitioners focused on
understanding the causes and course of child maltreatment and designing,
implementing, evaluating, and disseminating novel, evidence-based
approaches to prevention, detection, intervention and therapy for children
at risk and victims of child maltreatment. Salaries are competitive,
commensurate with background and experience. An attractive benefits package
is available as are startup funds to support the applicant’s research
program. Review of applications and nominations will begin immediately, and
will continue to be accepted until the positions are filled. We encourage
applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds.  Applicants are
encouraged to review all seven positions and consider applying to all those
that are of interest.
