Department of Psychology at the University of Utah seeks a full-time career-line (non-tenure) faculty member at the Assistant or Associate level in the Clinical Science program.

About the role

We are seeking applicants with a clinical science orientation who have strong interests in program development, administration, and evaluation.

Experience in teaching in or directing Masters level psychology graduate programs, providing clinical supervision, and being license-eligible in the state of Utah are highly preferred. Special consideration will be given to applicants who can contribute to one of our areas of specialty training: clinical child and family, clinical neuropsychology, clinical health psychology, and general psychopathology.

The Department of Psychology values candidates with experience working with students and conducting research with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including historically underrepresented groups. We welcome candidates whose interests and skills contribute to this goal.

The Clinical Science program is a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science and has been continuously accredited by APA since 1954. The program fosters generative collaborations within its areas of specialization and with other graduate training programs in the department (Cognition and Neural Sciences, Developmental, Social, and Quantitative), as well as with other departments and colleges across campus (e.g., Educational Psychology, Ethnic Studies, Family and Consumer Studies, Gender Studies, Psychiatry, Social Work, Sociology).
