The University of Denver (DU) is a top-ranked, private university in a thriving city at the base of the Rocky Mountains. DU is the oldest independent university in the Rocky Mountain region, with approximately 11,500 students in undergraduate and graduate programs. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the nation’s largest city park system, and a thriving and fast-growing business community, a Pew Research Study lists Denver as the #1 city in which people want to live.

The Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP) at DU was created in 1976 to house one of the first Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) programs in the country, under the then-new Vail training model (practitioner-scholar). GSPP provides four specialized master's programs:
Sport Coaching, Sport and Performance Psychology, Forensic Psychology, and International Disaster Psychology:
Trauma and Global Mental Health, as well as online certificates and continuing education. We also offer several fully online graduate certificates in sport, strength and conditioning, and fitness coaching.
Knowledge of diversity, equity, and inclusion guides GSPP in its mission to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible to all students, staff, and faculty. GSPP is strongly committed to building a diverse and inclusive educational environment, which is in full accord with the value that DU places on diversity, equity, and inclusion . This includes acknowledging the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents.

The search committee is especially interested in candidates who will contribute to the diversity, equity, and inclusion of our academic community. We welcome applications from individuals who may have taken a nontraditional career path, taken time off for family or personal reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside of academia.

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  academic year. This posting will serve for multiple openings.

Adjunct faculty are required to complete DU-wide online training, plan and teach courses (some courses are on-campus whereas 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.
