*Tenure-Track: Assistant Professor Clinical Psychology, Doctoral Program

Description

Fordham University’s Psychology Department invites applications for an assistant professor position from candidates with a strong publication record, active research funding or clear evidence of potential to secure funding, and teaching experience at the undergraduate and/or graduate level who will contribute to our APA-accredited Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program (CPDP) and undergraduate programs. Candidates with expertise in any area of clinical psychological science are encouraged to apply, with priority being given to applicants with expertise in forensic psychology, neuropsychology (adult or pediatric), or their intersection, such as the application of neuropsychological assessment in forensic contexts (adult and/or juvenile). Our APA-accredited doctoral program adheres to the scientist-practitioner model with a strong focus on diversity and social justice in our research and clinical training. The CPDP’s Fordham Community Mental Health Clinic offers faculty the opportunity to supervise doctoral students and supports research projects in the community.

In addition to the CPDP, the Department of Psychology offers doctoral degrees in Applied Developmental Psychology (ADP) and Psychometric/Quantitative Psychology (PQP), providing opportunities to collaborate and consult with faculty with developmental and/or quantitative expertise. The Department also offers Master’s degrees in Applied Psychological Methods and Clinical Research Methods, and a robust undergraduate major leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The Department’s graduate programs are located at our Rose Hill campus in the Bronx, and our undergraduate programs are at both the Rose Hill and Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campuses. The primary location for this position is expected to be the Lincoln Center campus. Responsibilities include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses at both campuses, establishing and maintaining a productive independent program of research, mentoring undergraduate research and graduate students’ theses and dissertations, and supervising clinical work of graduate students.
