The Department of Psychology at Colorado State University anticipates hiring for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL (IO) PSYCHOLOGY with an appointment date mid-August 2019. Our interest is hiring a data scientist with an IO background, who will be able to teach, mentor students, and conduct research that is relevant to IO psychology. We consider Data Science to be a multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary field that connects business, statistics, computer science and/or software programming, behavioral sciences, and communication. Thus, we encourage individuals with research using "Big Data" methods for data collection and analysis (e.g., machine learning algorithms, data mining, predictive modeling, statistical modeling, learning analytics) with naturally occurring data sets applied to IO to keep a look out for our final advertisement, which we will disseminate once the position has been approved. If you would like to be notified as soon as the position has been officially approved, please contact Professor Zinta Byrne, Search Chair, at Zinta.Byrne@colostate.edu. Please do not email application materials as you must apply online in order to be considered for this position. The required qualifications will be a Ph.D., or anticipated Ph.D. completion by 07/30/2019, in Psychology or related discipline. Our preferred qualifications will likely include one or more of the following: (1) Active research program related to Data Science and/or IO; (2) Ability to collaborate with and develop partnerships across campus with colleagues in other data science-related fields; (3) have experience in undergraduate and/or graduate instruction and mentoring; (4) demonstrate ongoing commitment to and the capability of obtaining external research funding; and (5) show a continuous commitment to diversity, inclusion, and social justice. Other qualifications of high interest will include: (6) ability to teach core curricular classes within the Department of Psychology, including Industrial and/or Organizational psychology and Data Science; (7) teach advanced quantitative methods and/or methods in Data Science for psychology graduate students; (8) be able to provide evidence of teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in industrial psychology; and (9) teach psychological measurement, methods, and advanced statistical analyses such as SEM and longitudinal analyses. Though the position has not yet been approved, we are aiming for a November 2, 2018 application deadline. If you anticipate applying once the position has been officially approved, we will ask for a complete application that includes a cover letter, curriculum vitae, relevant preprints/reprints of publications, research statement, teaching statement and evidence of teaching effectiveness, and e-mail addresses for three referees. We will also ask for a personal statement on your contribution and commitment to diversity and inclusion, which will help us identify candidates who have the professional skills, experience, and/or willingness to engage in activities that advance our campus diversity and equity goals. Contributions can take a variety of forms including interest in or efforts to advance equitable access to education and research, or public service that addresses the needs of a diverse population. Note that within the Department of Psychology, application materials of semifinalist candidates, including letters of reference, are made available for review by the entire faculty of the Department of Psychology.
