Position description
The Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis
invites applications for an Assistant Professor (tenure-track)
position in Developmental Psychology. We are seeking a
developmental psychologist with expertise in social-emotional
development and/or health psychology. Example research topics
include socialization processes; identity development; cultural,
psychosocial, and structural determinants of children's health; and
developmental perspectives on stress and health. We are
particularly interested in candidates who consider how these
developmental processes manifest in diverse contexts or
underrepresented communities.
As one of the country's leading research institutions, and an
emerging Hispanic-Serving Institution, UC Davis seeks candidates
with exceptional potential for research, teaching, and a commitment
to diversity and inclusion. The successful candidate will
demonstrate an understanding of the barriers preventing full
participation of members from student communities historically
excluded from higher education, including (but not limited to)
individuals marginalized due to their race or ethnicity, LGBTQIA+
status, veterans, individuals with disabilities, individuals from
economically disadvantaged groups, first-generation scholars, and
undocumented students. In addition to being exceptional scholars,
successful candidates will help advance UC Davis' goal of improving
access and building an inclusive community for all marginalized
communities. The successful candidate will also have a track record
(calibrated to career stage) of teaching, research, or service
activities addressing the needs of individuals historically
excluded from higher education, and a clear vision of how their
work at UC Davis will contribute to the University's mission of
serving the needs of our diverse state and student population.
Applicants are required to submit a research statement describing
their research to date and future research goals, and a
contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) statement
describing (a) their track record of engagement and activity
related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as (b) their
plans for future engagement (see
https://academicaffairs.ucdavis.edu/guidelines-writing-diversity-statement
for guidance and information about the university's commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion). The DEI statement will be
carefully read as a standalone document and should, therefore,
include all relevant information related to diversity, equity, and
inclusion, even if aspects are also discussed in other submitted
materials.
In addition, applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a
teaching statement describing their experience as well as
perspectives and practices related to effective teaching, three
representative publications (or preprints), and names and contact
information for at least three individuals who may be asked to
submit letters of recommendation. All application materials should
be submitted electronically at:
https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06660.
The start date for this position is July 1, 2025. The position will
remain open until filled. Applications must be submitted by October
1, 2024 for full consideration. Applications submitted after this
date may not be considered. If you have any questions about the
search or position, feel free to contact the Search Committee
Chair, Dr. Paul Hastings (pdhastings@ucdavis.edu), or any member of
the search committee: Dr. Drew Patrick Cingel
(dcingel@ucdavis.edu), Dr. Simona Ghetti (sghetti@ucdavis.edu), Dr.
Camelia Hostinar (cehostinar@ucdavis.edu), Dr. Yuko Munakata
(ymunakata@ucdavis.edu), Dr. Dulce Westberg
(dwwestberg@ucdavis.edu), or Ruohan Xia (rhxiaucdavis.edu) .
The department and UC Davis are committed to addressing the family
needs of faculty, including dual-career couples and single parents.
We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional
career paths, who have taken time off for family reasons, or who
have achieved excellence in careers outside academia. For
information about benefits, potential relocation to Davis, career
needs of accompanying partners and spouses, and other resources for
new faculty, please visit:

The University of California is committed to creating and
maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application,
and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through
academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in
University programs and activities can work and learn together in a
safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment,
discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this
commitment, UC Davis conducts a reference check on all first-choice
candidates for Academic Senate Assistant Professor or Lecturer with
Potential for Security of Employment, Steps 4, 5, or 6, or Acting
Professor of Law positions. The reference check involves contacting
the administration of the applicant's previous institution(s) to
ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct
that would violate the University's Faculty Code of Conduct. To
implement this process, UC Davis requires all applicants for any
open search for assistant professor to complete, sign, and upload
the form entitled "Authorization to Release Information" into
RECRUIT as part of their application. If an applicant does not
include the signed authorization with the application materials,
the application will be considered incomplete, and as with any
incomplete application, will not receive further consideration.
Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the
entire application, only finalists considered for Academic Senate
Assistant Professor or Lecturer with Potential for Security of
Employment, Steps 4, 5, or 6, or Acting Professor of Law positions
will be subject to reference checks.
