The Department of Clinical and Health Psychology (CHP) within the College of Public Health and Health Professions at the University of Florida is recruiting for a faculty position in clinical health psychology. Depending upon experience, there may be an opportunity to serve as assistant director/director of the psychology transplant team.

The primary assignment for this position will be inpatient and outpatient adult solid organ transplantation (e.g., liver, heart, and/or lung), including pre & post‑transplant assessments, clinical follow‑up, team consultation, program development, intervention and participation in Solid Organ Medical Review Board meetings, as well as supervision of trainees. Currently, this service includes one other psychologist and routinely includes postdoctoral fellows, interns, and/or students who rotate on this service as part of their training.

The Department is exploring potential growth opportunities for the service, including research related activities. In addition to clinical supervision, classroom teaching may be assigned as part of the faculty member’s responsibilities. Taking into account interest and based on departmental needs, the faculty member will be expected to participate in clinical coverage for other department faculty as needed.
