Position Announcement
The Department of Counseling Psychology and Human Services (CPHS) in the University of Oregon's (UO) College of Education (COE) is seeking applications for a tenure-line faculty position in applied prevention and health promotion at the assistant professor rank. The successful candidate will have a record or evidence of potential for strong teaching, research, and service focused on the broad discipline of applied prevention and human health promotion.
The successful candidate's primary instructional duties will be in the Prevention Science graduate programs (masters and doctoral) and the Family and Human Services undergraduate program, with potential to participate in the Couples and Family Therapy program and the Counseling Psychology program in the department, depending on the candidate's experience, expertise, and interest.
We are seeking a colleague with expertise in risk and protective factors related to public health outcomes, community-based participatory research, and/or qualitative and/or quantitative research methodologies that advance the understanding of health promotion across diverse populations. The successful candidate will lead research teams with graduate and undergraduate students, develop and maintain research partnerships with communities, train undergraduate and graduate students in current, cutting-edge topics and methodologies in prevention science that will advance health equity by increasing the workforce in this area, and engage in department, university, community, state, and national service. They will teach undergraduate and graduate courses on topics such as prevention and policy, child and family interventions, interventions in ecological contexts, implementation science, health promotion and equity, prevention science research seminar series, social aspects of behavior, and lifespan development. Applications are encouraged from interdisciplinary scholars whose research is focused on applied prevention and health promotion.
Given that the field of applied prevention and health promotion is evolving and fluid, we invite applicants from a broad set of expertise such as, but not limited to, qualitative and/or quantitative research methods in prevention science and public health, community-based participatory research, health disparities, technology-based interventions, health communication, and/or disease prevention. The successful candidate will be committed to continuous development of their own and others' competencies for fostering diversity and inclusion.
The College of Education is dedicated to the UO's goal of building a culturally diverse faculty committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment, and strongly encourages applications from members of underrepresented and historically marginalized groups, women, and people with disabilities.
The position start date is September 16, 2024.
