(negotiable). Salary will be competitive and commensurate with 
qualifications and experience.

of faculty are jointly affiliated, offer Master’s and Ph.D. programs. 
For 5 consecutive years, each newly admitted Psychology major has scored 
in the top 6% or higher on the national university entrance exam. The
