associate professor with expertise in developmental aspects of
movement/exercise science (there are complementary ongoing
recruitment efforts in the area of exercise physiology). The position
will begin Fall Semester 2007. This tenure-track position provides
exciting opportunities to join a multi-disciplinary group of faculty
in the Department of Kinesiology who work in different areas of
movement/exercise science.
Candidates must have an earned doctorate in an appropriate area, an
established record of scholarship, and a commitment to excellence in
teaching and service. The successful candidate will be expected to
secure extramural research funding and assume teaching
responsibilities at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Post-doctoral experience and an established research program are preferred.

Health and Human Development (http://www.hhdev.psu.edu) offering
B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees. The Department values diversity in all
its forms. The educational environment is enriched by the
considerable breadth and diversity of faculty expertise and
educational opportunities for students. Faculty in the Department
have significant research expertise and resources in several areas
pertinent to the study of movement and exercise in children. In
particular, candidates may consider possible collaboration with
faculty working in biomechanics, neural control of movement, exercise
physiology, psychology, and applied movement science. Collaborations
with multidisciplinary Penn State organizations such as the
Neuroscience Program, Huck Institute for the Life Sciences, the
Children, Youth and Families Consortium, the newly created Center for
Childhood Obesity Research, the Prevention Research Center, the
Hershey Medical Center, and the General Clinical Research Center are
