post-doc available
Northern Michigan University in Marquette, located on Lake Superior in the heart of Michigan's scenic Upper Peninsula, is pleased to announce once again the availability of one, possibly two, innovative post-doctoral teaching fellowships in the Department of Psychology. Our department is widely recognized for the quality of its undergraduate teaching, which includes the active participation of students in faculty-directed research projects. A Master's degree program in experimental psychology was added in 1999. This is the third year of these fellowships, which offer training in teaching a variety of courses in psychology; formal mentoring in all aspects of university teaching is a key element of this program. Research activity involving students is expected and supported. Previous fellows have found this experience helpful in pursuing academic careers. The Ph.D. is required; we seek candidates who have recently received their doctoral degree or who will have it in hand prior to the start of the fellowship. The salary is $30,000 for the academic year plus health benefits, starting Aug 23, 2000 and ending May 1, 2001. The fellowship is for one year, renewable for a second year. Candidates in any area of psychology are invited to apply; current faculty interests include: abnormal, personality, cognitive, learning, physiological, neuropsychology, social, developmental, early child, behavior analysis and history. To apply, send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, transcripts, at least three letters of reference, and statements of teaching and research interests to Prof. Harry A. Whitaker, Head, Department of Psychology, Northern Michigan University, Marquette, Michigan 49855. E-mail inquiries are of course welcomed; send to: hwhitake@nmu.edu.

Northern Michigan University is an AA/EOE and is strongly committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty.
