<span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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, <a href="http://csc.psych.psu.edu">csc.psych.psu.edu</a>, in the
College of the Liberal Arts, the Center for Children and the
Law, <a href="http://law.psu.edu/academics/research_centers/children_and_the_law" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">http://law.psu.edu/academics/research_centers/children_and_the_law</a>,
in the Penn State Dickinson School of Law, the Center for the
Protection of Children, <a href="http://www.pennstatehershey.org/web/protection-of-children/home" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">http://www.pennstatehershey.org/web/protection-of-children/home
</a>in the Penn State Hershey College of Medicine, and the
Prevention Research Center, <a href="http://www.prevention.psu.edu" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">http://www.prevention.psu.edu
</a>in the College of Health and Human Development. <br>
<br>
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. </span><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Leora Lawton PhD<br>Executive Director<br>Berkeley Population Center<br>350K Barrows Hall<br>(of) 510-643-1270<br>(m) 510-928-7572<br>
