Supervisor Name:
Dept. Human Ecology
Position Title: Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Studies

The Department of Human Ecology in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis is recruiting an Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Studies with a preferred emphasis in community-based interventions, programs, or services (e.g., neighborhood, family, school, after-school programs, care facilities, health settings) that impact individuals at one or more points across the lifespan (e.g., infancy, childhood, adolescence, or adulthood).

We are interested in applicants that are knowledgeable in: a) best practices for translating the emerging science into effective interventions, services, or programs that prevent negative outcomes; b) evaluating research that fosters well-being for individuals, families, and communities; c) how the impacts of intervention approaches in different contexts and communities can inform the development of more effective programming to meet the needs of at-risk and vulnerable groups across the life course, and/or d) methodological approaches to create, implement, and evaluate community-based interventions, programs, or services.
