Current Job Openings

Assistant Professor, Tenure Track Faculty Position

Augusta State University announces a tenure track assistant professor position. Area of specialization is open, although there is a preference for a candidate with a focus in biopsychology/neuroscience. Among other courses, candidates should be willing and able to teach biopsychology/behavioral neuroscience and psychopharmacology. Successful candidates must have an earned Ph.D. at the time of appointment and be able to start August 2010. Evidence of teaching interest and experience is critical, since teaching is the university's primary mission.

Members of the faculty are expected to maintain an active and productive program of research that involves students, to serve as advisor to graduate and undergraduate students, to participate in departmental, university, and community service, and to maintain cooperative relationships with faculty, staff, and students. Candidates should provide evidence of interest in and experience with directing student research. Interest in grant writing is desirable.

With a growing enrollment (currently over 6,000 students), the university has undergone major renovations with state-of-the-art classrooms and lab facilities. The Psychology Department is located in Science Hall, which was built in 2000. We house several labs, including an animal lab and a psychophysiology lab with BIOPAC systems. The department consists of a highly collegial group of eleven full-time and approximately twelve adjunct faculty members as well as two staff members. We serve approximately 300 undergraduate psychology majors and 40 graduate students. The department has an established master's program with a MPAC-accredited clinical track, a thesis experimental track, and an applied experimental track.

Augusta is the state's second largest metropolitan area and is within easy driving distance of Atlanta, the mountains, and coastal beaches. The area provides affordable housing options and is well-known for golf. The city is home to the Medical College of Georgia (including the Georgia Prevention Institute), Fort Gordon and Eisenhower Hospital, a regional state mental hospital, Walton Rehabilitation Hospital, and a VA facility with both general medical and psychiatric campuses. The psychology department has professional relationships with these sites, facilitating collaborative research for faculty and internship placement for students.
