Faculty Position in Evolutionary Psychology at McMaster University

We construe this area broadly to encompass the full gamut of approaches that apply evolutionary theory to the study of cognition, preferences and behaviour, but for this position we seek a scientist who principally studies humans.

The Department of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour at McMaster University has particular strengths in the areas of animal behaviour, evolutionary psychology, behavioural ecology, neuroscience, development, perception, and cognition. Candidates whose work would complement that of other Department faculty are especially welcome to apply.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. and will need to show evidence of a vigorous research program, promise of leadership in their field(s), and commitment to both undergraduate and graduate education. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and copies of up to three representative papers to:

Dr. Martin Daly
Chair, Evolutionary Psychology Search Committee
Department of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour
McMaster University
1280 Main Street West
Hamilton, Ontario
Canada L8S 4K1

Candidates should also arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to Dr. Daly. Review of applications will begin on February 15, 2007, and continue until the position is filled.

McMaster University is strongly committed to employment equity within its community, and to recruiting a diverse faculty and staff. The University encourages applications from all qualified candidates, including women, members of visible minorities, aboriginal persons, members of sexual minorities, and persons with disabilities.
