Candidates with a Ph.D. in human development and family studies or a related field are strongly preferred, but candidates who have completed all but their doctoral dissertations will be considered. The successful applicant, who will have demonstrated exceptional promise as a teacher and as a scholar, will provide statewide leadership for the development of educational programs in parent education and family life education, will develop educational materials, support a statewide network of Extension regional specialists, will maintain an active programmatic line of research, will contribute to national efforts to enhance parent education and family life education, and will contribute to the Department of Human Development and Family Studies and the College of Human Environmental Sciences. Because family diversity and multiculturalism are the department's unique niches, we seek an individual who is familiar with and who has expertise in working with diverse and vulnerable populations.
Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.
