Priority will be given to candidates who will enhance research within the department, teaching within the graduate curriculum, and social sciences scholarship across the school. Examples of topics areas include (but are NOT limited to): models for inference (e.g., SEM/CFA, Bayesian modeling, linear mixed effects), data mining (e.g., machine learning, network analysis, generative models), and simulations (e.g., agent-based modeling, computational modeling of psychological processes).
