    Job Description and Qualifications
    The Department of Psychology at Colorado State University invites

    and one
    should have the ability and desire to teach courses in industrial
    psychology. The
    ability of candidates for either position to teach psychometric theory and

    Successful candidates will have the following minimum qualifications: a
    Ph.D. or

    Appointment Date
    August 15, 2007

    Program Description
    The I/O psychology program at CSU adheres to the Scientist/Practitioner
    model
    of education and training. Students are expected to develop research skills
    to
    understand human behavior in work settings. Solid training in research
    design,
    measurement, and statistics is provided. Through its heritage and its
    proximity to
    the Denver/Boulder metro area and its distance from other top doctoral
    programs,
    the CSU I/O program provides unique opportunities to blend theory and
    practice
    in both industrial and organizational psychology. Students are provided
    opportunities to gain experience in applied work settings that provide
    exposure to
    real-world problems and development of professional skills. As a foundation,
    students take a series of courses in basic areas of psychology including
    social,
    personality, and cognitive psychology. Program graduates have excelled in
    academic, industry-based, and consulting settings.

    Additional Qualifications
    We are interested in persons who can foster collaboration within the I/O
    program,
    across other programs in the Psychology department, and throughout the
    University. Faculty members in the Department also have a history of
    collaboration with colleagues in Management, Information Systems,
    Environmental Sciences, Education, and Engineering. The University is
    emphasizing super-clusters of collaborating researchers in information
    science
    and technology; environmental sustainability; agriculture, nutrition,
    health, and
    well-being; and biomedicine and infectious disease. Applicants with
    compatible
    interests are being sought. Course loads provide the opportunity to balance
    research and teaching duties. Mentoring of graduate and undergraduate
    students is
    expected.

    Department of Psychology
    The Department of Psychology is in the College of Natural Sciences along
    with
    seven other departments: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology,
    Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, and Statistics. The
    Department serves approximately 1100 undergraduate majors and 80 graduate
    students, with approximately 30 full-time faculty members distributed across
    five
    doctoral programs: (1) Applied Social Psychology, (2) Perceptual and Brain
    Sciences, (3) Cognitive Psychology, (4) Counseling Psychology, and (5)
    Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The Department also houses: (a) the
    Center for Organizational Excellence, a multidisciplinary effort for
    connecting
    CSU faculty and students with local organizations committed to lifelong
    learning
    and organizational excellence; (b) the Tri-Ethnic Center for Prevention
    Research,
    a University-designated program of research and scholarly excellence that
    concentrates on social problems that affect rural and minority ethnic
    communities;
    and (c) the Colorado Injury Control Research Center which is funded by CDC
    and
    is dedicated to reducing the occurrence and severity of injuries in rural
    areas of
    the Rocky Mountain region, particularly among underserved populations. The
    Department encourages interaction and collaboration across graduate programs
    and with other groups on campus, and as new faculty members are hired, one
    objective is to further strengthen this interdisciplinary collaboration.
    The Department has over 100,000 square feet of research and office space,
    which
    spans three wings of a single building. Included are modern research
    laboratories
    in cognitive psychology, sensation and perception, social and environmental
    psychology, and behavioral neuroscience. There are also modern computer
    facilities and equipment available for the undergraduate instructional
    laboratories
    and teaching environments with state-of-the-art multimedia capabilities and
