The successful candidates will join a 65+-member Section of Psychology, which offers robust clinical and research training opportunities, including externship experiences, psychology pre-doctoral internship, and several fellowship programs. We offer a collaborative environment and an engaged Psychology faculty.

We currently have several open positions to support our growth. While area of specialization is open, we are particularly interested in candidates with clinical and/or research expertise in areas for strategic investment that complement our existing strengths in Women's Behavioral Health, Anxiety/OC Disorders, and ADHD assessment and treatment. We also welcome candidates with interests that align with our programs in Depression Recovery, Addictions, EPICENTER/Psychosis, and clinical health psychology.
