The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU) is seeking a full-time, benefits-eligible, tenure-track advanced Assistant Professor or early tenure-eligible Associate Professor of Psychology whose research focuses on positive psychology or developmental psychology, especially as it relates to resilience and/or stress across the lifespan from childhood to later adulthood. The current position seeks to build on a recently established, ASU-wide research collaboration around Resilience in Social Environments (RISE). Preference will be given to candidates who can collaborate with existing Psychology faculty and whose research interests complement our areas of strength in psychosocial, sociocultural, psychophysiological, and neurobiological models of stress, emotion, relationship dynamics, and health. The position has an expected start date of January 2022.

The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences is presently in a period of expansion and innovation around new initiatives and programs in Psychology, including resilience, forensic psychology, and behavioral data science. Since Fall 2017, the School has added ten new tenured/tenure-track faculty, including three new faculty in Psychology.
