Clinical Assistant or Clinical Associate Professor Position (Non-Tenure Track) Clinical Psychology

Position Overview: The Clinical Psychology Program in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University invites applications for a full-time, fiscal year (12-month) non-tenure track Clinical Assistant or Clinical Associate Professor position with an anticipated start date of Fall of 2022. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to training in a research-focused, clinical science doctoral program in a position that combines clinical supervision, teaching, and involvement in supporting the Department’s research mission.

Primary Duties: Primary responsibilities of the position include ongoing direct clinical supervision of adult outpatient psychotherapy, teaching of graduate students in the clinical psychology Ph.D. program, oversight and review of external practicum placements, and formal evaluation of students’ developing clinical competencies. In consultation with the faculty, this position will have latitude in identifying the treatment focus of the adult outpatient clinic in the Purdue Psychology Treatment and Research Clinics (PPTRC; https://www.purdue.edu/hhs/psy/pptrc/index.html) in a way that balances students’ training goals with the needs of the community we serve. As such, the area of specialization in clinical service delivery is open, but the applicant should demonstrate a commitment to evidence-based practice of psychology as well as an empirically-informed approach to supervision, consistent with the orientation of the doctoral program. This faculty member may also contribute to undergraduate teaching in courses focused on various topics in clinical psychology. Although there is no expectation that the candidate will develop an independent program of research, interested candidates will also have opportunities to contribute to ongoing research initiatives within our department (for a full list of Purdue research centers see: https://www.purdue.edu/research/centers-institutes-cores/list.php). Applicants with a demonstrated commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion are preferred.

Qualifications: The successful candidate must have a doctoral degree (i.e., Ph.D., Psy.D.) and appropriate training in clinical psychology or an affiliated field (e.g., counseling psychology). The successful candidate must be licensed by the State of Indiana and credentialed as a Health Service Provider in Psychology (HSPP), or prepared to acquire these credentials as a condition of ongoing employment. Prior experience providing formal supervision is highly desirable but not required. Clinical-track faculty are full members of the faculty, and are expected to demonstrate excellence in the areas of clinical practice/application, service/engagement, and clinical/classroom education for promotion
