I am writing to note that there are two faculty positions (Assistant
Professor, tenure track) in lifespan development available at the
University of Alberta. The first emphasizes the area of
"developmental methods," in that we are seeking someone with skills in
developmental research design and analyses. This position is open
with respect to target age ranges (childhood, adolescence,
adulthood and aging) and developmental research processes (e.g., social,
affect, interaction, cognition). The second position is in "social
development" (broadly defined), and is open with respect to age
(childhood, adolescence, adulthood and aging).
Please feel free to forward this announcement to advanced graduate
students or postdocs who may fit the generous descriptions for either
of the two positions.
