Overview

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 best practices for translating the emerging science into effective interventions, services, or programs that prevent negative outcomes; evaluating research that fosters well‑being for individuals, families, and communities; 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 methodological approaches to create, implement, and evaluate community‑based interventions, programs, or services. This is an academic year (9‑month), tenure‑track Assistant Professor position that includes an appointment in the California Agricultural Experiment Station (AES). Faculty members who hold an Agricultural Experiment Station appointment have a responsibility to conduct research and outreach relevant to the mission of the California Agricultural Experiment Station. Participation in outreach programs and performance of university service are also expected. Responsibilities

The appointee is expected to establish a competitively funded research program to address critical or emerging issues that may benefit from community‑based interventions or services at any point across the lifespan. Along with engaging in mentoring, advising and curricular development at the undergraduate and graduate levels, the appointee will be responsible for teaching a typical courseload of three courses per year (usually alternating between 3 undergraduate and 2 undergraduate plus 1 graduate course every other year). At either level, courses will reflect a combination of core courses and more specific topical courses. Participation in and development of public outreach and/or community engagement programs, and performance of departmental and university service is expected. This position is expected to collaborate with Cooperative Extension specialists and advisors, partners in allied industries or other appropriate public stakeholders. Examples include: HDE 104 Children in Families, Schools, Communities HDE 135 Health Behaviors across the Lifespan HDE 137 Contextual Determinants of Health HDE 141 Children and Adolescents (Field Study) HDE 142 Emotionally Distressed Children and Adolescents (Field Study) HDE 143 Elderly (Field Study) HDE 200A Early Development HDE 200B Middle Childhood and Adolescence HDE 200C Development in Adulthood HDE 252 Family Research, Programs, and Policy cross‑listed course with Community and Regional Development (CRD) Qualifications and Rank
