About the Psychology
department:
The Department of Psychology (https://psychology.gmu.edu/) has
over 1,250 undergraduate majors and over 200 graduate students.
With this number of students and over 40 faculty members,
psychology is one of the largest departments in the College of
Humanities and Social Sciences, which is one of the
largest colleges at George Mason. Our department is
guided by three primary foci. First, the department is focused on
fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion at all levels in our
department and, more broadly, in our field. This mission is
facilitated by our location in one of the most diverse regions of
the country and by George Mason’s status as the most diverse
university in Virginia (https://www2.gmu.edu/about-mason/diversity-mason) and
one of the 20 most diverse public universities in the country
(https://www2.gmu.edu/news/588496). Second,
in line with George Mason’s Carnegie classification as a Research I
university, our department focuses on being a prominent center for
translational research. Faculty and students in our department
conduct high quality, rigorous research on pressing problems, and
work to disseminate knowledge in both academic and non-academic
circles. Third, we focus strongly on our training of students
across all five of our graduate programs (applied
developmental psychology, clinical psychology,
industrial/organizational psychology, cognitive and behavioral
neuroscience, and human factors and applied cognition). Faculty are
highly dedicated to the success of
our graduate students, and our programs’
rankings continue to rise.
Responsibilities:
The successful candidate is expected to maintain a highly
productive and impactful research program, teach graduate and
undergraduate courses pertaining to Clinical
psychology (e.g., Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Ethics)
and advise doctoral students.
Required Qualifications:
We are looking for individuals with a Ph.D. in Clinical
Psychology; a promising research record; a skill set
related to teaching/mentoring; and a commitment
to inclusivity in teaching, mentoring and research of diverse
populations. Candidates should also be licensed or
license-eligible in Virginia.
Preferred Qualifications:
The position is open to research specialization. We
are particularly interested in applicants
with training in evidence-based treatments and
experience in working with individuals from diverse and
marginalized backgrounds.
The successful candidate will be part of the Clinical area, which is a clinical science program and consists of nine tenure-track faculty, two non-tenure-track faculty, and about 35 doctoral students. Clinical faculty conduct research in several areas, including anxiety, suicide, eating disorders, trauma, substance use, and well-being and with diverse populations in the community.
For full consideration, applicants must apply for position number F6205z by October 15, 2021; complete and submit the online application; and upload a: (a) cover letter, (b) a vita, (c) research and teaching statements that include a description of how the applicant would contribute to the university’s mission as a diverse public university.
