    Position Information

    Proposed Faculty Rank Assistant Professor Department Family and Consumer Studies City Salt Lake City, UT Track Tenure Track New Position to Begin 07/01/2024 Details


    The Department of Family & Consumer Studies (FCS) at the University of Utah invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position to begin July 2024.

    We seek a faculty member whose focus is on child development and mental health.

    For example, candidate's research might address the impact of adverse childhood events, trauma, chronic illness, or natural disasters on children's development or well-being in low-resource communities; or how early intervention approaches counter toxic stress.

    We are especially interested in researchers whose scholarship informs practice and policy.

    The ideal candidate for this position is an applied scholar, with a focus on developmental intervention and community engagement, whose scholarship illuminates work with children and families.

    We are particularly interested in candidates who conduct research and engage students with local, state, or federal agencies and organizations (e.g., the Health Department's Babywatch early intervention program, Zero to Three, home visiting).

    Additionally, we are interested in scholars whose research addresses developmental processes among historically disadvantaged and underrepresented infants or children (e.g., immigrants, racial and ethnic minorities, those in the child welfare system).

    An ideal candidate's research will have implications for supporting optimal development and reducing disparities of children from minoritized and underrepresented identity groups.

    Promising candidates will be able to draw on different disciplinary perspectives and methodological approaches to inform their work.

    Candidates should have an excellent publication and teaching record, commensurate with experience, and show potential for extramural funding. Applicants must have a Ph.
    D. in the social sciences by the time of appointment. Successful candidates will be committed to working in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment and to enhancing undergraduate and graduate education.


    APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

    Candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research and teaching statements, two writing samples or publications, and a statement on the candidate's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and a list of references including contact information.

    Review of applications will begin October 1, 2023 and will continue until the position is filled. Information about the Department of Family & Consumer Studies can be found at

    Information on how the University of Utah College of Social and Behavioral Science promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion can be found at Inquiries regarding the position may be directed to the Faculty Search Committee Co-Chairs, Marissa Diener, or Daniel Carlson,


    RELATED INFORMATION:

    Family & Consumer Studies is an interdisciplinary department dedicated to understanding and enhancing the well-being of individuals and the families and communities in which they live.

    We examine how the social, economic, political, and physical environments affect families, individuals, and consumers. The faculty includes scholars from sociology, demography, economics, psychology, family studies, human development, and early childhood education. FCS faculty are involved with the Consortium in Families and Health Research ), which brings together faculty from 11 departments across 5 colleges, the School of Medicine, the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the University Neighborhood Partners, and the Utah Population Database.

    The University of Utah is a Carnegie RU/VH Research University and Utah's flagship university. The University is a member of the Association of American Universities and the PAC-12.

    Utah's great outdoors are close by, offering activities from world class skiing, hiking, and mountain biking in the spectacular surrounding canyons.

    The city is vibrant and cosmopolitan with music, the arts, sports, and nightlife. The area has received international recognition for its light rail system, downtown, library system, and increasing diversity. Salt Lake City is home to sizable Latinx and immigrant populations.

    More than a third of Utah's ethnic/racial minorities are children or youth under the age of 18 years, and the Salt Lake City School District is now a majority minority district, with one in five Salt Lake County residents speaking a language besides English at home.
