This position is being recruited at both the Associate Professor and the Assistant Professor levels.

About the Role

This is a unique position; the TACS Psychology program recently received a grant from the National Alliance for Trauma Recovery Centers to start Milwaukee’s first Trauma Recovery Center (MKE TRC).

Responsibilities

• Participate in the clinical education of clinical and research fellows, residents, graduate students, medical students, and other trainees.
• Contribute to a patient-centered approach to delivery of care and engage in a climate of inquiry, quality, and safety.
• Advance the academic, research and educational missions of the institution.
• Salary, research support, and benefits will be commensurate with rank and experience, and the candidate will hold appropriate academic rank in the Medical College of Wisconsin School of Medicine.

Qualifications

• Candidates must have a PhD or PsyD in clinical or counseling psychology.
• Due to the nature of the position and the expectation of supervision within the MKE TRC, the candidate must demonstrate at least 3 years of experience supervising while licensed as a psychologist.
• Candidates must have experience in evidence-based care for trauma related disorders and distress, including prolonged exposure therapy, cognitive processing therapy, etc.
• Due to long-standing factors in Milwaukee, such as structural racism and discriminatory lending practices, there is non-random clustering of violence in communities where non-White residents live. Therefore, the majority of violence survivors in Milwaukee are non-White. This psychologist must have experience providing culturally responsive care and being able to supervise the integration of this care into the TRC.
• Candidates must be eligible for medical licensure in Wisconsin.
