Description
THE ELIOT-PEARSON DEPARTMENT OF CHILD STUDY AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
AT TUFTS UNIVERSITY invites applications for a tenure-track
Assistant Professor position in Applied Developmental Science to
begin September 1, 2023.
We seek a colleague whose work highlights the optimization of human
potential as the foundation for thriving and active, positive
community engagement among children, youth, and families.
Candidates must share Eliot-Pearson's holistic, strengths-based
perspective and a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity,
inclusion, and social justice (DEIJ). The department is well-known
for preparing undergraduate and graduate students for careers
working in clinical, educational, and policy-oriented settings with
children, youth, and families in diverse and interconnected
communities and contexts. See http://ase.tufts.edu/epcshd/ for more
information about the department, its programs, and research
centers.
We invite applicants whose scholarship represents the integration
of research and practice, including the application of research to
prevention programs, governmental and organizational policies, and
community and civic engagement. Areas of interest may include (but
are not limited to): child/youth/family mental and physical health
and well-being; social disparities in well-being and the systemic
issues serving as barriers (e.g., lack of access to resources) or
supports to thriving; using digital tools and literacies to enhance
well-being of children and adolescents; the arts (e.g., music,
dance, drama) and optimization of human potential; and using a
community-based participatory research lens for studies in any of
these or other relevant areas. We are interested in colleagues who
embrace a multidisciplinary approach and a systems orientation,
recognizing the interconnections of different levels of the human
ecology, including a global focus.
Qualifications
Candidates must possess a doctorate in child/human development,
psychology, family studies, education, or a related field.
Applicants' research and teaching interests should fit within a
wide variety of areas as described above. Candidates must
demonstrate strong evidence of research productivity and potential,
including publications and the potential for externally funded
research as well as evidence of successful teaching and applied
experience. We are especially interested in scholars with
demonstrated experience in the application of advanced
developmental methods and statistics relevant to developmental
science; for example, analyses of intensive longitudinal data,
community based participatory research designs, mixed methods
approaches, methods of causal inference, and integrative,
empowering, and equitable approaches to measurement and program
evaluation. Experience working on interdisciplinary projects,
program evaluation, and the application of advanced developmental
methods and statistics in the integration of research and practice
is highly desired. The successful applicant will be expected to
teach undergraduate and graduate courses, comprising both core
courses in the curriculum and more specialized courses in areas
such as: socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic disparities in child and
family well-being; social and government policies and programs;
using digital tools or literacies or the arts to support
well-being; and/or research designs and advanced statistical
methods.
Application Instructions
All applications are submitted via Interfolio, at
apply.interfolio.com/112845. Interested candidates should send a
letter of application; curriculum vita; statements on research,
teaching, and their commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and
justice in teaching, research, mentoring and service; three
representative scholarly publications, and the names of three
colleagues who could be contacted for reference letters. For
questions, please contact Mary Ellen Leone, Department Manager, at
maryellen.leone@tufts.edu. Review of applications will begin Oct 1,
2022 and will continue until the position is filled.
All offers of employment are contingent upon the completion of a
background check and meeting the University's current COVID-19
vaccination requirements.
