Department

The Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems (EPLS) in the Anne Spencer Daves College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences (Anne’s College) and the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) at Florida State University invite applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position at the rank of assistant or associate professor. The position will involve teaching, research, and service within either the Learning and Cognition or the Measurement and Statistics Program within the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems (EPLS) and will include a joint appointment with the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR). The position carries a reduced teaching assignment with correspondingly high expectations for research productivity. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain a rigorous grant writing and research program, including competitive external and federally funded research grants. The candidate will also be expected to participate in university governance in the department, college, and FCRR, at a level that is commensurate with the rank of an assistant professor or associate professor, whichever is appropriate. This position has an anticipated start date of August 2026; however, the start date is negotiable.

The candidate will join an interdisciplinary group of colleagues and students at FCRR. Drawing from multiple disciplines, FCRR investigates all aspects of reading and reading-related skills across the lifespan. Through rigorous and robust research, innovation, and engagement, FCRR advances the science of reading to improve learning and achievement from birth through adulthood. EPLS is home to six doctoral, four M.S./Ed.S., and four M.S. degrees in multiple program areas, including an APA-accredited joint doctoral program, NASP-accredited school psychology Ed.S. program and multiple CACREP-accredited Ed.S. programs in addition to the programs in Educational Psychology, Measurement and Statistics, Sport Psychology and Instructional Systems & Learning Technologies.
