Tenure-track Assistant Professor Featured
AFFECTIVE NEUROIMAGING: Pomona College  invites applications for a tenure-track, joint appointment in the Departments of Psychological Science and Neuroscience beginning Fall 2020. The position is targeted at the assistant professor rank, but outstanding candidates at more senior ranks will be considered. We seek candidates with an active research program that involves undergraduates and a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. Research program pertinent to the study of human affect is preferred, and use of fMRI in research is required, but the area of specialization is open.  There are several scanners in the Southern California area where candidates could work on establishing collaborations, but there are none at the Claremont Colleges. Therefore, we are seeking candidates who can creatively involve students in research utilizing fMRI data. Teaching load is two courses per semester and may include introduction to psychological science, an advanced seminar in emotions, and a laboratory course in emotions and  fMRI neuroimaging.  Supervision of research and senior thesis students from the psychological science and neuroscience departments is also expected. The successful candidate will have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment to improving higher education for underrepresented groups. Pomona College, the founding member of the Claremont Colleges consortium, is a highly selective liberal arts college attracting an economically and geographically diverse student body. Please submit to  https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/13927  the following materials: a) cover letter, b) curriculum vitae, c) three brief statements addressing teaching philosophy, scholarship (including how a successful research program will be conducted with undergraduates using fMRI methodology), and demonstrated ability to mentor a diverse student body, d) three representative reprints or pre-prints, and e) three letters of recommendation. In order to receive full consideration, dossier should be submitted by October 4.

Postdoctoral Research Associate: Behaviour change science and positive psychology
We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate to work on a research project in the Department of Psychology at the University of Sheffield in the UK. Situated at the interface of behaviour change science and positive psychology, the project will investigate how people respond to set-backs when pursuing their goals and explore ways to help people to respond with self-compassion. Our aim is to develop a theoretical framework and tools that can be applied across a variety of settings (for example, health behaviours, parenting, managing deadlines). As such, this research has important implications for our understanding of self-compassion, of how people respond to lapses in goal pursuit and, how to promote effective self- regulation and help people to make changes to their behaviour. The project is funded for 3-years by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in the UK. You will work with Dr Fuschia Sirois ( http://sirois-lab.group.shef.ac.uk/ ) and Dr Thomas Webb ( www.sheffield.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academic/thomas-webb ) to carry out the research described above. This will involve designing and developing materials, applying for ethical approval, recruiting participants, managing the datasets, analysing the data and preparing reports for publication and disseminating the findings via social media, academic conferences, and engagement with potential users. The position will provide you with the opportunity to sharpen your theoretical skills, broaden your applied research experience, and gain valuable experience engaging with non-academic stakeholders. You should have a good honours degree (or equivalent experience) in psychology or a related discipline and a PhD (or be close to completion) in psychology or a related discipline (or equivalent experience). You should also have well-developed skills with respect to designing, conducting, analysing and presenting the findings of questionnaire and experimental research, and excellent organisation, communication, and collaboration skills. Knowledge of contemporary research on self-regulation, self-compassion, individual differences, and social psychology more broadly would also be an advantage.
