to be

INFO: Call for Nominations
to APA'S Committee on Aging |
Call for Nominations to the Committee on Aging
The American Psychological Association's Committee on Aging (CONA) is
seeking nominations for two new members to begin terms in January 2001.
The committee concerns itself with furthering the major purpose of APA
to
advance psychology as a science and profession and as a means of
promoting
human welfare by ensuring that older adults, especially the growing
numbers
of older women and minorities, receive the attention of the
Association.
Committee members plan, develop, and coordinate various activities
related
to impacting the status of older adults. CONA is interested in persons
with demonstrated interest and experience in aging issues to serve a
three-year term beginning in January 2001 and ending in December 2003.
CONA is committed to ensuring the representation of all constituencies
within the APA. Areas of expertise divided among the members
encompasses
academic experience, clinical experience, and research experience. Each
year, new members are selected based on their qualifications
vis-à-vis the
particular slate requirements for that year. This year, the committee
is
interested in having candidates from diverse groups apply for the two
openings.
Selected candidates will be required to attend two committee meetings a
year in Washington, DC, with expenses reimbursed by the APA. Members
also
work on Aging Committee priorities when necessary between meetings. If
possible, members attend a CONA meeting at their own expense held
during
the APA Convention.
Nomination materials should include the nominee's qualifications, a
letter
from the nominee indicating willingness to serve on CONA and a current
curriculum vita. APA nominations are open to members who are retired or
employed less than full time. Nominations and supporting materials
should
be sent by August 1, 2000, to Weldon Bagwell of the APA Public Interest
Directorate, 750 First Street NE, Washington, DC, 20002-4242.

There
is some flexibility in rank but preference is for junior candidates.
Industrial/Organizational. We plan to fill up to two positions in I/O.
The
candidate's record of scholarship, productivity and expertise are more
important than specific research area within I/O psychology. We are

and
connections to many of the larger companies in the Atlanta area.

Cognitive Aging. Candidates with expertise in any area of cognition and
aging
are encouraged to apply; demonstrated excellence in published research

aging.
The
program has considerable research funding in addition to an
institutional
training grant from NIA funding both predoctoral and postdoctoral

interaction. The

appointment
will be 75% in Psychology and 25% in the College of Computing.
The Engineering Psychology program and GVU maintain active
collaboration with
other programs within the School of Psychology as well as numerous
other units
of Georgia Tech. In addition, the programs maintain a wide variety of
links to
the industrial and business research community in the metropolitan
Atlanta
area. Address applications to Engineering/HCI Search Committee.
Quantitative. This position will be for someone with expertise in
multivariate
statistics and structural equation modeling. The research content area
is
open
but must fit with one of the emphasis areas of the School. Address

quantitative
statistical applications, empirical research, and technical innovation
in
research methods. Salary and start-up funds will be commensurate with

full-time
faculty and offers doctoral training in three areas: I/O Psychology,
Engineering Psychology and Experimental Psychology (with emphasis in
Cognitive
Psychology, Cognitive Aging, and Animal Behavior). Applicants are

CALL FOR FINAL SUBMISSIONS: RRF Mentorship Awards
*****Completed packets are due May 4, 2000*****
This is a firm deadline for receipt of all completed packets!!
Division 20 and the Retirement Research Foundation are sponsoring two
Mentorship Awards in 2000.
The Master Mentor award ($5,000) shall be presented to an established
figure in the field who has had a significant impact on the development
of
the careers of students and junior colleagues in the psychology of
adult
development and aging. This will be an individual who has been a full
professor for at least 10 years. The Master Mentor award will be based
on
the mentoring qualities represented by that individual as well as the
breadth and depth of the individual's impact on the field. The winner
will
be someone who has not only had personal influence on the field, but
someone whose students have also begun to have some influence as well.
The Mentor award ($2500) shall be presented to an individual who has
consistently provided support, guidance, and strong direction to
undergraduate and graduate students in aging and adult development.
This
individual might be someone who resides at a liberal arts institution
or
college that focuses on undergraduate education or it may be an
individual
at a Ph.D.-granting institution who is at an earlier stage of career
development than the Master Mentor. This award will be given to the
individual who has been most actively committed to mentoring and who
best
exemplifies the qualities identified with strong, effective mentoring.
The complete application for the award, with 4 copies of all required
materials enclosed, is due May 4, 2000.
See <http://www.iog.wayne.edu/APADiv20/mentor.htm> for details.
