*Assistant Professor of Psychology -- Behavioral Data Science*

The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences in the New College of
Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University is seeking
a full-time, benefits-eligible, tenure-track Assistant Professor of
Psychology. For this position, we are interested in researchers whose
research uses new computational techniques to examine issues that intersect
cognitive and social psychology. The current position seeks to build on a
recently established, ASU-wide research cluster – Behavioral Data Science.
Preference will be given to candidates who can collaborate with existing
Psychology faculty and whose research interests supplement our emerging
strengths in exploring large-scale naturalistic and
experimentally-collected data within a data science framework to generate
new insights about underlying psychological processes.

The School of Social and Behavioral Sciences is presently in a period of
expansion and innovation around new initiatives and programs in Psychology,
including Behavioral Data Science, Forensic Psychology, and Resilience in
Social Environments. Since Fall 2017, the School has added ten new
tenured/tenure-track faculty, including two new tenure-track faculty in
Psychology. This academic year, the School has been approved to recruit
seven additional tenured/tenure-track faculty, including three new tenured
/ tenure-track faculty in Psychology.

*Required Qualifications*:

The successful candidate must:

a) have a doctoral degree in psychology or a related field by the time of
appointment

b) a research agenda that focuses in applying the latest advances in data
science and computational modeling to an area related to cognitive and
experimental psychology

c) demonstrate excellence in research commensurate with appointment at the
level of Assistant Professor at ASU

*Desired Qualifications*:

a) Priority will be given to scholars currently at the Assistant Professor
level

b) Evidence of experience or interest in teaching in areas related to
cognitive psychology and data science

c) Research interests that align with current faculty in the Behavioral
Data Science research cluster

d) Desire or willingness to teach quantitative methods or analysis at the
undergraduate or graduate level

e) Evidence of the potential to establish a strong, externally-funded
research program

f) Experience teaching and mentoring students to conduct research at the
undergraduate and/or graduate level

g) Demonstrate experience in promoting interdisciplinary collaborations in
research

h) Experience contributing to curricular and program development

i) Demonstrated commitment to working successfully with a diverse student
population, including first generation students

and, 5) a research statement that addresses current research
accomplishments and future research plans. In the research statement,
candidates are strongly encouraged to discuss how they have pursued and/or
plan to pursue open and reproducible science. And, since the Behavioral
Data Science cluster strongly embraces the values of promoting and
