Adjunct Faculty Master of Arts in International Disaster Psychology: Trauma and Global Mental H

About the Master of Arts in International Disaster Psychology:
Trauma and Global Mental Health Program

The International Disaster Psychology Program:
Trauma and Global Mental Health (IDP) is a 2-year Master's Program within GSPP, developed in 2005. In addition to providing master’s level training in general clinical psychology, the program meets a clear need for specialized knowledge and experience to work in the trauma, disaster, and global mental health fields. Our 2-year curriculum and practicum experiences help students develop a background in global mental health, a field focusing on methods for increasing mental health work forces in low-resource communities, addressing stigma regarding mental illness and mental health care, and expanding beyond “Western” treatment models.

As such, we emphasize the provision of culturally and linguistically responsive service delivery.

The MAIDP at the Graduate School of Professional Psychology is accepting applications for adjunct faculty instructors to teach a variety of courses in the 2026‑2027 academic year. This posting will serve for multiple openings.

Please note that course offerings, schedules, and modalities may vary.

Adjunct faculty are required to complete DU-wide online training, plan and teach courses (some courses are on‑campus while others may be online using Zoom), be available to meet with students online or in‑person, respond to student questions, assign and grade papers and exams as appropriate, and adhere to all relevant DU policies and procedures.

• Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology or a related field
• Demonstrated current and relevant expertise

• Doctoral degree in a related field
• Teaching experience at the graduate level

Adjunct faculty are compensated at a rate of $1,290 per credit per course. Instructors who are co‑teaching a content course that does not involve clinical supervision will split the credits, so each co‑teacher receives half of the pay.

For groups of 6–7 students with no co‑leader, compensation is as follows:

• Fall Quarter:
  Instructor receives 5 credit hours of pay, reflecting the extended calendar required for the TDR during this quarter.
• Winter Quarter:
  Instructor receives 4 credit hours of pay.
• Spring Quarter:
  Instructor receives 4 credit hours of pay.
• Co‑Leaders:
  Credit hours are divided equally among co‑leaders for all quarters.
• Instructors will be paid an additional 0.5 credit hours per student when enrollment exceeds 7 students in the group.
• If seminar groups fall below 5 students, the seminar will be dissolved in the following academic year, and students will be reassigned to other seminar groups to adhere to the stated group size goals.

The University of Denver offers some benefits for non‑benefited employees.

Applications are currently being accepted and reviewed for all academic quarters.

Candidates must apply online through jobs.du.edu to be considered. Only applications submitted online will be accepted.

• Curriculum Vitae
• Cover Letter which denotes what course(s) you are interested in teaching
