We invite applications from individuals working in any area of behavior analysis. The Department of Psychology is dedicated to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusion and has launched several initiatives, including an in-house Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility committee and department-wide climate surveys. We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity of the academic community and demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring of a diverse student population.

UF is the state’s oldest, largest, and most comprehensive land grant university with an enrollment of over 50,000 students and was ranked the 5th best public university in the United States by the 2022 U.S. News & World Report with exceptional research, teaching, and a university-wide commitment to diversity. UF is located in Gainesville, a city of approximately 150,000 residents in North-Central Florida, 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and 67 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, and within a 2-hour drive to large metropolitan areas (Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville). The beautiful climate and extensive nearby parks and recreational areas afford year-round outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, and nature photography. UF’s large college sports programs, museums, and performing arts center support a range of activities and cultural events for residents to enjoy. Alachua County schools are highly rated and offer a variety of programs including magnet schools and an international baccalaureate program.

UF is also a rich community for behavior-analytic activity. We have ABAI Verified Course Sequences at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and undergraduate psychology students can opt for specialization in behavior analysis (currently over 200 undergraduate Behavior Analysis majors).
