Chartered by the state of Georgia in 1785, the University of Georgia is the birthplace of public higher education in America and is the state’s flagship university (https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).). The proof is in our more than 240 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report.

The University’s main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,100 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University’s enrollment exceeds 41,000 students including over 31,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly established School of Medicine.

The Center for Family Research conducts pioneering research on the ways in which stress affects family relationships, youth development, and adult health, with an emphasis on Black American populations in the southern United States. We study how families and individuals thrive in the face of stress from social and environmental stressors like racism and poverty. Central to this research is the translation of basic research on development and health into empirically proven preventive interventions that leverage the strengths of families to promote family well-being.
