CFS Announces Faculty Positions

The University of South Florida is searching for a Co-Director of the Florida Center for Inclusive Communities (FCIC), a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD). The Co-Director will be expected to provide dynamic leadership that will facilitate the growth of extramurally funded research and training initiatives, mentor junior faculty, and guide the UCEDD in providing interdisciplinary pre-service preparation and continuing education, community services, conducting research, influencing policy and practices, and disseminating information. This 12-month tenure-earning position is offered at the rank of associate to full professor. The qualified candidate will have a Ph.D. in an appropriate discipline related to the support of individuals with developmental disabilities (e.g., psychology, education, special education, communication disorders, etc.).

An Assistant or Associate Professor position is available through the Applied Behavior Analysis Master's Program. The candidate will be expected to teach two courses each semester, mentor graduate students, conduct a productive, independent line of scholarly research, and secure external funding. This is a 12-month tenure-earning position. Details on both positions will be posted soon.

FCIC is housed within the The Department of Child and Family Studies (CFS), a department of the USF College of Behavioral & Community Sciences committed to improving the well-being of individuals, children, and families within communities across the country through promoting respect, inclusion, development, achievement, mental health, and an optimum quality of life.
