Come work with us!
The Department of Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) at the University of Georgia is seeking applicants for the position of assistant or associate professor, with an anticipated start date of August 2025. We seek an individual with expertise in biobehavioral health across the lifespan. The ideal candidate’s research should focus on understanding how biopsychosocial processes, across various stages of life and over multiple time scales, influence behavioral risk, aging, and disease decades later through changes in biological aging. We are particularly interested in candidates who examine multiple levels of human development, including genomics, biomarkers, and phenotypic data. Preference will be given to candidates capable of running a wet lab to test for markers of stress biology, biological aging, inflammation, and/or gene expression in blood and saliva samples.
Additionally, candidates who are open to collaborating with faculty focused on applied and developmental neuroscience—aimed at understanding the interplay between biological and environmental contributions to health and development—are strongly encouraged to apply. We aim to hire a faculty member who has potential or who is active in securing grants and can work collaboratively with faculty at the Georgia Center for Developmental Science (G-CDS), complementing existing expertise in advanced interdisciplinary developmental science aimed at enhancing resilience in disadvantaged communities. Expertise in the implementation of broadly defined AI methods is strongly encouraged.
