Outstanding candidates with strong expertise in prenatal, infant, child, and/or adolescent development will be considered with a strong theoretical orientation, with emphasis in any of the following areas especially welcomed:

- Epigenetic influences
- Developmental neuroscience (cognitive or affective)
- Advanced quantitative expertise; or who use neuroimaging or physiological methods; or who conduct applied or policy-relevant research
As the ability to complement and extend the current strengths of the Psychology Department is also essential, optimal candidates should have cross-disciplinary interests that intersect with other departmental program areas.

The Department has 38 tenure-stream faculty and houses five graduate training programs: Biological and Health, Clinical, Cognitive, Developmental, and Social, along with cross-program training opportunities.
