This is a tenure track position to begin in the fall, 1997 semester. We are looking for a person with expertise in psychological interventions, broadly defined. This position will be a special one in that it will be a named assistant professorship, honoring one of our distinguished retired faculty members, Beatrice A. Wright. In addition to a normal competitive beginning salary, there will be a substantial yearly salary supplement, and a yearly free expenditure account, as well as a generous start-up account for the applicant's laboratory. A copy of the advertisement that will appear in various outlets is enclosed for your perusal. I would appreciate it if you would inform any suitable applicants about the position. We would particularly welcome applications from women and persons from varied racial and ethnic backgrounds. Our Clinical Psychology Program provides an exceedingly positive and stimulating atmosphere for faculty members. The Clinical Program is held in highest esteem in the College and the University more generally. In addition to our regular faculty members, 40% of whom are female, we have several part-time faculty members both here and at the medical center in Kansas City. Further, we have a psychological clinic that operates within the program, and a full support staff, including two social workers, to help in the operation of this clinic. Our graduate students are absolutely first-rate, and a fairly high proportion of them go on to academic careers where they have received recognition for their teaching and research activities. In addition to our regular training in clinical psychology, we also offer a superb specialty training in health and rehabilitation psychology, directed by Annette Stanton. Additionally, under the direction of Michael Roberts, we offer outstanding training in clinical child psychology (indeed, this program eventually will garner independent accreditation). The University is a progressive, fiscally sound operation in which there are outstanding psychologist colleagues to be found in the Department of Human Development and Family Life, the Department of Educational Psychology and Research, the Counseling Department, and the Medical Center (in Kansas City). Psychologists also have faculty positions in business, speech and communications, education, and other places throughout the University. The University is located on a beautiful, tree-lined campus overlooking nearby city and countryside. Lawrence, a delightful town of some 80,000 people, is situated in the gently rolling hill region of eastern Kansas; there are numerous small and large lakes nearby that offer a variety of recreational activities. It is a very pleasant place to live, with traditional older homes near the campus, and newer housing toward the west. The cost of living is very reasonable. A full range of entertainment, including art exhibits, music, and theater are available through University- and Lawrence-sponsored events. Further, the Kansas University athletic teams offer entertainment to Jayhawk fans. If you prefer the trappings of larger cities, Kansas City is 25 miles to the east, and Topeka 25 miles to the west. We have put together a very attractive recruitment package for a new or recent Ph.D., and I firmly believe that we offer a superb arena for launching and sustaining a productive and satisfying career in academic clinical psychology. As you can tell, I am most enthusiastic about the recruitment of a new Clinical faculty member. If you or any interested potential applicants have any questions, please feel free to write or call me at 913-864-4121, or use email (crsnyder@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu).

The program has good working alliances with the Dept. of Psychiatry and the Research Institute on Addictions, from which many faculty have joint appointments in Psychology. Our program is a very good placement for students who are looking for a department that emphasizes clinical treatment and process research, as well as related psychopathology, for a variety of disorders.
