Clinical Line, 10-month, Half- or Full-Time, Assistant Rank Faculty Position, PsyD Program

PsyD Program Faculty Positions

The PsyD program at the Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP) at the University of Denver (DU) seeks to hire multiple faculty for 10-month, benefited, clinical-track positions to begin as soon as possible, with a preference for November 1, 2026. While the preference is for full-time, half-time may be considered for the right candidate(s). This posting is for multiple positions. It is likely that one of the faculty hired through this search will take on an administrative role as Director of GSPP Internship Consortium.

The position includes teaching, scholarship, service, and clinical supervision duties. Teaching expectations for full-time clinical-track faculty are typically 27 credits over fall, winter, and spring quarters (13.5 credits for half time). Reductions to teaching load are possible based on administrative roles (see more detail below). This position will be expected to provide clinical supervision to first-year students conducting internal practicum through the Professional Psychology Clinic (PPC), which will account for 10 credits of teaching load.

The PPC falls under GSPP Clinical Services, a Colorado Behavioral Health Administration licensed Behavioral Health Entity that bills insurance (Medicaid/Colorado Access). The faculty member will also be required to contribute to GSPP Clinical Services' onsite supervision coverage, which is shared among clinic-involved faculty and generally involves 1 day or evening per week of coverage.

Scholarship expectations, while minimal for this faculty line, include serving on doctoral paper committees as well as publications, presentations, research, and/or grant-related scholarship. Service responsibilities include meeting attendance, participating in PsyD admissions processes, participating in competency exams, providing academic advising, attending PsyD events, and serving on university or unit committees. In addition, GSPP requires all faculty and staff to exhibit excellent citizenship and pursue professional development to foster a model workplace.

This position reports to the Director of the PsyD Program. Faculty appointments are 10 months (September – June), but since the PsyD program operates year-round, some summer obligations, including clinical supervision, should be expected and are compensated separately.

As mentioned above, it is likely that one of the faculty hired from this posting will take on the administrative role of Director of the GSPP Internship Consortium. Based on the current faculty workload framework, this administrative role includes a 6 credit reduction to teaching load. For the  training year, the Consortium consists of 16 interns completing training at 6 sites.

The Director is responsible for the overall administration, coordination, and continuous improvement of the Internship Consortium. Key responsibilities include maintaining APA accreditation and ensuring compliance with APA and APPIC standards, overseeing site partnerships, managing the intern selection and training process, coordinating Friday seminars and co-leading one seminar.

Applications will be accepted until September 7, 2026.
