Subject: Psychology Chair, University College, London

Applications are invited for one of the two established Chairs of
Psychology tenable at UCL and based in the College's large and
well-resourced Department of Psychology in Bloomsbury, London. The
Chair will be vacated on the retirement of Professor R.J.Audley and the
new appointment is expected to be effective from 1 October 1993

We are seeking to appoint an individual with a strong commitment to,
and an outstanding record of achievement in research - preferably, but
not necessarily, in the areas of experimental, physiological or
clinical psychology. Research in the Department spans a wide spectrum.
Current strengths include cognition, and its neuropsychological,
computational and clinical aspects; basic perceptual processes; and
speech.

Informal enquiries may be made to and further particulars obtained from
Professor T Shallice (department of Psychology, University College

Subject: (9) Employment: Faculty recruitment, School Psychology, ASU

We are writing to ask for your assistance.  We hope to identify
a person or persons who might have interest in being considered
for a position on our faculty in school psychology under the
university's Faculty Diversity Plan.  Under this plan, funds
have been designated for recruitment of ethnic minorities and
women.  We hope to identify women or individuals of either
gender who are of minority status who might be considered under
this program.  Potential candidates can be considered at any
rank.

We hope to identify a small pool of potential candidates who
evidence strong promise for success in scholarship, teaching,
and leadership in school psychology.  If you are aware of any
potential candidates, please forward their names (and addressed
and phone numbers if available) to us.  We would also
appreciate a copy of a vita if you have a potential candidate's
permission to send us one.

We do need to emphasize that we have not been authorized to
advertise a faculty position in school psychology and that no
such position exists at this time.  The likelihood that we can
be successful in creating a faculty line will depend, in part,
on the strength of a potential candidate who might have
interest in joining our faculty.
