Tenure-Line, Assistant Professor in Industrial and Organizational Psychology
The Industrial and Organizational Psychology Program at George Mason University invites applications for a tenure-track position beginning Fall Semester, 2014. The position has been approved at the Assistant Professor level (either at the new PhD or advanced assistant level) with possible consideration for more advanced faculty who have a demonstrated track record of research productivity and external funding. We are looking for an individual with a PhD in Industrial and Organizational Psychology (or a related field, such as Organizational Behavior, Human Resources, Management, and Labor and Industrial/Employment Relations), a strong research record, and evidence of or potential for teaching and mentoring excellence. The specific area of research interest is open, although teaching interests in "Industrial/Personnel" topics or quantitative methods would be a plus. The successful candidate is expected to maintain a highly productive research program, teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and/or quantitative methods, and direct graduate students' research.
Mason's IO Psychology Program has a tradition of excellence in research and teaching. There are currently six IO faculty members, with a wide range of research interests. Two of our current faculty members have received university awards for excellence in teaching. In addition the IO Program has a tradition of professional service to SIOP, with soon-to-be four SIOP Presidents affiliated with the program. The faculty are moreover engaged in the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science and the Academy of Management (e.g., the Gender and Diversity in Organizations, Human Resources, Organizational Behavior, and Research Methods Divisions). The doctoral program has a strong research focus. More information about the PhD, MA, and undergraduate concentration in IO Psychology and the psychology department can be obtained at http://psychology.gmu.edu/ and http://www.gmu.edu/org/iopsa/.
