The University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL) is seeking faculty research scientists in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. CASL needs I/O psychologists at any level of experience to contribute to the study of work behaviors among foreign language professionals. CASL projects require I/O-related expertise in areas such as selection, training, performance appraisal, needs assessment, OD, survey development, psychometrics, and more. The successful candidate will work with multidisciplinary teams on research projects that enable government employees – especially foreign language professionals – to improve their performance. Some examples of current projects include developing measures of team and individual performance; understanding and improving work design for language analysts; understanding the impact of culture and other personal and situational factors (e.g., foreign language proficiency and high stakes situations) on abilities to perform analytic activities; and designing and validating survey measures of job performance, as well as aptitude assessments.
