We are seeking applicants with a strong clinical science orientation that permeates all aspects of their work (research, teaching, clinical supervision/practice, etc.). We are interested in all qualified candidates, with special consideration for applicants that can contribute to one of our areas of specialty training (clinical child and family, clinical neuropsychology, clinical health psychology, and general psychopathology) and that can support our undergraduate teaching mission. In addition, we are seeking applications from clinical scientists with experience and interests in health disparities, cultural tailoring of interventions, community engagement, and/or assessment and measurement invariance modeling. Applications from candidates with these interests are encouraged and will be considered even if they do not fall into one of our areas of specialty. The Department of Psychology values candidates who have experience working in settings with students and conducting research with individuals from all backgrounds, including historically underrepresented individuals and welcomes candidates whose interest and skills contribute to this goal. Postdoctoral training, license-eligibility, and expertise in quantitative methods are also highly valued. A member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science and continuously accredited by APA since 1954, our Clinical Science program has a history of generative collaborations within our areas of specialization (clinical neuropsychology, clinical child and family, clinical health psychology, and general psychopathology); as well as with the Psychology Department’s other graduate training programs (Cognition and Neural Sciences, Developmental, Social, and Quantitative); additional departments and colleges across campus (e.g., Educational Psychology, Ethnic Studies, Family and Consumer Studies, Gender Studies, Psychiatry, Social Work, Sociology); and transformational centers of excellence such as the Consortium for Families and Health Research (C- FAHR ). Applications from individuals whose research interests lend themselves to such collaborations are particularly encouraged as are applications from individuals with demonstrated excellence in undergraduate teaching and mentorship.
