Job Summary

Job Summary The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Department of Psychology invites applications for a tenure-track position in ourAPA-accredited Clinical Psychology Program. The appointment will be made at the rank of Assistant Professor.

UWMis a Carnegie Research 1 institution. The Clinical Psychology program is a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science. The department has rich collaborative connections with the Milwaukee community and area hospitals (e.g., Medical College of Wisconsin, Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Rogers Memorial Hospital, Milwaukee VA Medical Center, LGBTQ+ Community organizations).

We are planning multiple tenure track faculty position hires in the next few years spanning the areas of health equity research and clinical neuropsychology. We will fill one position in either of these areas this year.

For the position in health equity research (broadly defined) we seek to hire a candidate whose research program is focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in mental health. This could include, but is not limited to, investigation of factors leading to, maintaining, and/or exacerbating inequities in mental health or access to care; risk and resilience factors related to systemic oppression, marginalization, and discrimination;

social drivers of mental health; research programs with a focus on populations affected by inequities (e.g., racial and ethnic minoritized individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals); culturally-affirming intervention or assessment approaches (e.g., cultural adaptations of existing approaches); dissemination and implementation science; community-engaged approaches, population health approaches, global mental health, and multiculturalism or multicultural education. These examples are not exhaustive and we envision a wide range of programs of research would match the position.

New hires would teach a newly developed graduate multicultural psychology course required by our accrediting body. They would also supervise doctoral students learning to conduct psychotherapy. At the undergraduate level, we currently have only two undergraduate courses which focus on multiculturalism, only one of which is taught by a faculty member in our health psychology program. This is a growing and necessary field of study in psychology, particularly clinical psychology, and any undergraduate courses taught by the new health equity faculty member would be popular.

For the Clinical Neuropsychology position we seek to hire a candidate who can demonstrate excellence in research, teaching and mentorship. We welcome candidates with a wide range of research expertise in human clinical neuropsychology research across the developmental spectrum, although there are particularly strong collaborative opportunities in the department in the areas of child and adolescent neurodevelopment, longitudinal research, and neuroimaging methods (see details below).

We are seeking candidates with teaching, research or clinical expertise in the areas of cultural neuropsychology, assessment, neuropsychological diagnosis and feedback, neuroimaging, and intervention techniques to contribute to ourSCN/Division 40-listed predoctoral specialized training in Clinical Neuropsychology. Candidates must be license-eligible, while board-certification eligibility in neuropsychology is preferred (to bolster training environment) but not required. Students and faculty are actively involved in national neuropsychology organizations (e.g.,APA/SCN,INS,NAN,EMA,WIN, Society for Black Neuropsychology, Hispanic…
