Responsibilities will include leading the interdisciplinary Law-Psychology Program; maintaining a productive program of research, including pursuit of external funding; teaching undergraduate and graduate courses; and mentoring students.

A courtesy appointment with the College of Law may be possible, depending on the candidate's law qualifications.
About the Law-Psychology Program Established in 1974, the UNL Law-Psychology Program is recognized nationally for its research on policy, law, and important social issues. The UNL program is the oldest ongoing integrated program in Law-Psychology and the only program of its type in the Big 10. The Department of Psychology and the College of Law jointly sponsor the program, which specializes in training scholars who apply psychology and other social and behavioral sciences to analyze empirical questions in law and policy. The Law-Psychology Program is also unique in the nation as a dual-degree program where psychology students also earn a J.D. or M.L.S. from the College of Law.The successful candidate will contribute to multidisciplinary research efforts with other units on campus, such as the College of Law; the Center on Children, Families, and the Law (CCFL); and the Public Policy Center (PPC).
