Assistant Professor, Quantitative Psychology

Psychology Department, University of Missouri-Columbia

Position Description

The Psychology Department at the University of Missouri-
Columbia invites applications for a tenure-track assistant
professor in the area of Quantitative Psychology. Primary
criteria for filling the position are demonstrated scholarly
excellence and potential for securing extramural funding.
Although our goal is to hire the best scholar, irrespective
of substantive interests, we are especially interested in
individuals who have interests in hierarchical linear
modeling, mathematical modeling of psychological processes,
categorical data analysis, or missing data imputation and
estimation techniques.

The Quantitative Training area at the University of Missouri

Currently, three faculty have a primary affiliation with the
Quantitative training area. They are:

Harris Cooper, whose quantitative interests include meta-
analysis and research synthesis. His substantive interests
include social psychology as applied to educational policy
issues.

Julian Thayer, whose quantitative interests include the study
of intra-individual change, particularly as applied to
psychophysiology and emotion. His substantive interests
include the assessment of psychophysiology, induced mood,
physiological correlates of emotion.

Phillip Wood, whose quantitative interests include structural
equation models, particularly as applied to models of growth
and change. In addition, his substantive interests include
developmental psychology, adult cognition, and assessment of
the cognitive outcomes of higher education.

In addition to the opening described above, it is anticipated
that the department will hire additional quantitative
psychologists in the next two years as well.

Other Training Areas in Psychology

In addition, the Psychology Department has training areas in
clinical psychology, cognition and neuroscience,
developmental psychology, and social psychology. Secondary
affiliations with these training areas are possible and
encouraged.
