University of New Mexico, College of Arts and Sciences
Assistant or Associate Faculty Position
The University of New Mexico (UNM) is seeking a faculty member at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Center on Alcohol, Substance Use and Addictions (CASAA). This is a full-time, probationary, tenure-track appointment targeted to begin in Fall 2023. Candidates must have earned a doctoral degree in Psychology, Sociology, Economics, or related discipline by the time of the appointment, and demonstrate a record of peer-reviewed publications in the addictions field.
We seek an outstanding researcher who can contribute to the research and teaching missions in their home department in the College of Arts and Sciences (includes Psychology, Sociology, Economics; a full list of departments is located here). The specific research focus and area(s) of technical expertise should complement existing areas of strength and research interests within the home department and CASAA. The successful candidate is expected to collaborate with CASAA investigators in the conduct of human research on alcohol or other substance use, and/or other addictive behaviors. CASAA investigators, affiliated with the Departments of Psychology, Sociology, and Economics, are leaders nationally in 12-step research; research on Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Treatment, mindfulness-based interventions, and the Community Reinforcement Approach; family-involved treatment models; training, dissemination, and implementation research; development of instruments; studies of mechanisms of change; clinical research in special populations, particularly adolescents, women, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native, and criminal justice populations; research on fetal alcohol spectrum disorders; and research on methods to reduce harm from risky drinking (for more information, see casaa.unm.edu).
A Category III Center at UNM, CASAA reports directly to the Vice President for Research and is the home for the UNM Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention (COSAP). CASAA has long-standing relationships with several community-based treatment programs that are available as sites for clinical trials. The relationships between CASAA and these treatment facilities are on-going and reciprocal, and CASAA is widely regarded as a key resource for the development and testing of empirically supported treatments for alcohol and other substance use disorders. In addition, CASAA has uniquely strong relationships with several pueblos. CASAA investigators are supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health, other Federal Agencies, Private Foundations, the State of New Mexico, and the University of New Mexico.
UNM is the state’s flagship University and is one of only twenty Hispanic-serving, Carnegie Research/Doctoral-Extensive institutions in the U.S. UNM is located in Albuquerque, the largest urban area within one of the most diverse states in the nation. The UNM main and Health Sciences campus are adjacent to one another, facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration.

A complete application consists of 1) a letter of interest/personal statement; 2) a comprehensive CV that clearly shows meeting the minimum doctorate requirement; 3) at least two representative reprints; 4) a teaching portfolio; and 5) the titles, names and contact information (address, phone number and email address) of at least three professional references. The position will remain open until filled. Inquiries can be directed to Matthew Pearson, Ph.D., Chair, CASAA Faculty Search Committee, drmateo@unm.edu.
