This position will begin on August 16, 2027, with the possibility of an earlier start date of January 1, 2027.

Ohio University is a Carnegie Foundation R1 (highest research activity) institution, and the successful applicant will demonstrate a strong research record. Our clinical program follows the scientist-practitioner model of training and maintains an on-site training clinic that provides ample opportunities for clinical practice and research.

Reflecting the department's commitment to collaborative, cross-disciplinary scholarship, research specialties often cut across both the experimental and clinical psychology programs. Multiple resources for developing and maintaining a strong research program are available, including infrastructure for grant procurement, grant mentoring, research lab space, start-up funds, and support for graduate students (stipends, tuition waivers, travel support). Responsibilities include maintaining an active, high-quality, fundable research program, directing graduate student research, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses, supervising assessment and/or therapy practica, and participating in departmental service.

Teaching load is typically 1-2 courses each semester during the 9-month academic calendar, depending on research productivity. Candidates must be committed to working effectively with students, faculty and staff who hold diverse perspectives. Ohio University has a rich history and beautiful Appalachian settings. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide and support a transformative learning experience, we affirm our commitment to fostering a welcoming and respectful workforce and community.

Athens, home of Ohio University, provides a classic and vibrant residential learning environment for over 30,000 students, and is a family-friendly and culturally rich community. The charm of treelined brick walkways on the University's College Green makes you feel as if you are at a small college rather than a large university. Athens is frequently cited as one of the best college towns, including by USA Today and World Atlas.
