Faculty Positions
Department of Psychology
University of Massachusetts, Amherst

The Department of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is inviting applications for two faculty positions in the Social Psychology Division, starting in Fall 2008. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Social Psychology, an active research program, an excellent record of empirical research and academic scholarship, and the potential to attract extramural funding.

Ideal candidates would be at the assistant or associate level, with expertise on such topics as intergroup conflict and conflict resolution, justice, political ideology and structural violence, prejudice reduction and social inclusion. Candidates should expect to become an integral part of the emerging concentration in the psychology of peace and violence that resides within the Social Psychology Division, and they should be interested in understanding conflict in real world settings and the implications of research findings for policy and application.

Information about the social psychology program is available at http://euryale.sbs.umass.edu/PsychWeb/Grad/areas/Social/  and about the concentration in peace and violence at

Applications should include a cover letter, statement of research interests and teaching philosophy, curriculum vitae, sample publications, and three letters of recommendation.
