Hi Doug:

I would have gone with your split but I got the idea that the person was to have closer ties to the biology department, so here is the suggestion that I sent:

Life-Span Developmental:  Offering the following courses

Intro/General

Human Development

Methods

Aging (biological/work force issues)

I’m curious what other think of this – but if I were adding a single psychology position at a college (that is primarily business), I’d look for an I/O social type and offer the following:

Introductory/General

Social Psychology

Research Methods

And I/O or even split into two courses

*Subject:* Hiring a Psyc prof--No Psyc Department or Major

Hello, TIPsters.

Excuse the cross-posting...

A colleague of mine (Fred Ledley) at Bently College in Boston asked me if I would forward a question to you all.

At their institution, administrators are interested in revamping their psychology curriculum; however, they do not have a Psychology major, per se (they are primarily a business school). They are hoping to hire an instructor who would be housed in the Natural Sciences department as part of their Health and Human Biology concentration (I'm actually not sure how that is classified).

First, does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to word the job ad, perhaps a template or an example? And second, does anyone have any suggestions for what to include in a psychology curriculum that is for non-majors?

I've included Fred's contact information below, or you could respond directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and I will forward your messages.

Thanks much,

Tracy Zinn
