ADJUNCT FACULTY HIRING FAIR
October 22, 2009

LONE STAR COLLEGE - NORTH HARRIS

Lone Star College-North Harris will be hosting an Adjunct Faculty Hiring Fair on Thursday, Oct. 22, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the college's Student Center building, 2nd Floor. The college is located at 2700 W.W. Thorne Drive, one-half mile south of FM 1960 E, between Aldine-Westfield and Hardy Roads.

Due to an unprecedented enrollment growth of more than 16 percent for fall 2009, the college has a wide variety of adjunct instructor positions available. Adjunct instructors are part-time teachers.

Working as an adjunct is not only a means to earn additional income, but also an opportunity to give back to the community. Adjunct faculty members bring valuable knowledge, industry experience, and diversity to the classroom. Many instructors have full-time jobs elsewhere or are retired professionals. They choose to teach because they want to interact with students and help direct the future of their careers.

The college is currently looking for expertise in accounting, anatomy & physiology, art history, aviation management, biology, computer information technology, computer numeric controlled manufacturing, English, ESOL, economics, heating ventilation and air conditioning, hospitality, humanities, mathematics, kinesiology, music, psychology, reading and writing, Spanish, speech, and welding.

Beginning adjunct professors earn $37.80 per contact hour. Qualifications mirror those required for full-time professors and depend on the courses being taught. For example, to teach academic transfer courses, faculty must have a master's degree in the discipline or a master's degree plus 18 graduate hours in the relevant discipline. To teach occupational/technical courses, such as computer science and welding, faculty members must have the minimum credentials required to work in that field or the credentials equivalent to what the students will earn-usually an associate's of applied science degree. In addition, they must have at least three years of relevant work experience in their field of instruction.

LSC-North Harris continuing education program is also seeking teachers and instructors for multiple courses offered through CE. For those interested in seeking positions as a continuing education teacher, college representatives will be on hand to discuss details.

Lone Star College System consists of five colleges including LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC-Montgomery, LSC-North Harris, and LSC-Tomball, six centers, LSC-University Center, LSC-University Park, Lone Star Corporate College, and LSC-Online. With more than 59,000 students in credit classes this fall, LSCS is the largest institution of higher education in the Houston area and third largest community college system in Texas. To learn more visit http://www.lonestar.edu.

Lone Star College System accepts on-line applications year-round for part-time faculty (view jobs at: https://jobs.lonestar.edu). Interested adjunct applicants are welcome to contact me directly or to apply at our website for immediate consideration. We are also posting full-time faculty positions for spring and fall 2010 and will continue to post these in the new year.

Post Doctoral Training Opportunity at the University of Oregon

The Development and Psychopathology Training Grant (DEEP) is a fellowship program funded by NIMH to the Child and Family Center. This grant has been ongoing at the University of Oregon for 10 years, and we anticipate that we will receive the next 5 years of funding starting July 1, 2009. The training program is organized through the Child and Family Center (please http//see <http://cfc.uoregon.edu>cfc.uoregon.edu). We are advertising for two post-doctoral positions associated with this training grant.

This continuation of the DEEP grant is intended to expand our training program in a number of new ways. First, the training grant is intended for post-doctoral trainees with a strong background in data analysis and research methods. Second, this grant will emphasize training students to be skilled multi-cultural researchers. The grant will provide trainings in skills relevant to diversity in developmental processes and the intervention science. Third, the training will focus on translational research, integrating areas of research such as neuroscience, genetics, developmental psychology, intervention techniques and change processes relevant to better understanding the etiology of mental health problems in children and adolescents and innovating new, more effective interventions (prevention and treatment).

We have two, one year post-doctoral training fellowships in Development and Psychopathology at the CFC beginning July 1 2009. The 1 year stipend provides full-time FTE through the summer for research in development and psychopathology and intervention science. Two years of funding is available contingent upon performance. Applications that focus their areas of interest on research related to the Child and Family Center will have preference.

We have 5 ongoing federally funded intervention trials (see http:<http://cfc.uoregon.edu>cfc.uoregon.edu) which afford longitudinal data sets, several family and peer observational data sets, and an ongoing EEG high density array lab involving children and families. Multiple researchers at the University of Oregon, OSLC, ORI and EGI have been involved in previous trainee research programs, and are welcomed. Post-doctoral applicants with strong quantitative training as well as interests in linking intervention and developmental science (testing hypotheses with interventions), dynamic systems, peer focused interventions, multicultural issues of intervention and assessment with children, trauma effects and interventions, or longitudinal data analysis are encourage to apply. Cognitive neuroscience applicants with interests in translational research are encouraged to apply.

Meta-analysis of experimental studies of risk and behaviour

Salary: £23,449 per annum

The postholder will be involved in an ESRC funded project working with Dr Peter Harris and Professor Paschal Sheeran to conduct a quantitative review (meta-analysis) of intervention studies that have been successful in changing key variables in risk appraisal. The aim is to determine (i) how often these changes transform subsequent intentions and behaviour and (ii) how big an effect these changes have on motivation and action. The review will also examine whether it is necessary to enhance coping processes (e.g., self-efficacy) at the same time as risk appraisal, and will identify intervention characteristics and methodological factors that determine the strength of impacts on intentions and behaviour.

Applicants should have a PhD or be near to finishing a PhD (or have equivalent experience in Psychology or a relevant discipline). A good working knowledge of risk perception research or experience in conducting meta-analysis would be desirable. This post is fixed term 12 months, with a start date of 1 September 2009 and an end date of 31 August 2010.

Closing date for applications: 11 May 2009

Each instructor is assigned a teaching assistant.

We are looking for individuals with a psychology background to be instructors or teaching assistants for the following courses:

Cognitive Psychology - Are we beings that act solely in response to external stimuli or can the wealth of ideas and thoughts we possess spring from a yet unknown corner of the mind? Cognitive psychology is often referred to as the science of the mind. By exploring how we organize and process the abundance of information we receive from our environment, cognitive psychologists reveal what is going on behind the scenes of mental processes.

Taking a theoretical approach, students examine cognitive processes such as perception, attention, learning and memory, language, intelligence, and creativity. They gain a greater understanding of this innovative field by exploring the progression of ideas that led to the Cognitive Revolution, core research methodologies within the discipline, and fundamental neurological structures involved in cognitive processes. Through observational studies, group discussions, contemporary readings, and laboratory findings, students begin to perceive human beings as information processors. Students leave this course with a richer understanding of how people make sense of the complex world around them.

Foundations of Psychology - Social theorist and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm wrote, "Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve." Psychology attempts to systematically solve this problem of who we are by providing a coherent framework for describing and explaining behavior; it is the science of behavior and mental processes.

This course introduces students to the major content domains in modern psychology: bio-psychological, developmental, cognitive, and social. Students begin by considering different methodologies and learning what constitutes an effective research design. With this foundation, students examine important topics in the field, including sensation and perception, learning and memory, child and adult development, and abnormal psychology and psychotherapy. Throughout the course, students develop the analytical and research skills necessary for future studies in the discipline. The course culminates with students designing research projects in their areas of interest.
