The Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor position in our APA-accredited Counseling Psychology doctoral program. We seek to hire an outstanding candidate whose research reflects and would enhance the social justice and multicultural emphasis of the program. The nationally ranked Department of Educational Psychology contains four program areas: Counseling Psychology; School Psychology (both APA accredited); Human Development, Culture & Learning Sciences; and Quantitative Methods. The broad focus of the department is scholarship related to health and learning throughout the life span. The department is committed to a diverse and inclusive working and learning environment. We are seeking candidates whose research, teaching, and service have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity, inclusivity and excellence. We welcome applications from scholars with a record of research that employs diverse research methods and a record of research with minoritized populations. Applicants should also have a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring with a focus on enhancing equity and inclusion in the field and in practice. Teaching requirements are flexible, although there is a need for teaching expertise in the areas of multicultural research and multicultural counseling.

The department is situated within the College of Education, which is ranked among the top public colleges of education in the country, promotes the shared values of equity, excellence, innovation, empowerment, community-focus, and endeavors to bridge research and practice. We view inclusiveness and excellence as interconnected in the work of our faculty. The College of Education is particularly interested in and values candidates who have experience working with diverse and underserved populations and address the interactions among our diverse identities. Candidates should show a demonstrated commitment to improving access and conditions in educational and health settings for children, adults, families, schools, and communities.

As a leading college of education in Texas and beyond, we are agents of change committed to transforming education and health research, practice, and policy to ensure the thriving of children, families, schools, and communities. In our efforts to align our college to address the most pressing challenges in the fields of education and health, we have launched a new strategic vision known as Reimagine Education (see https://education.utexas.edu/about/office-dean/reimagine-education). In advancing this effort, we have organized our academic and research aspirations around three Signature Impact Areas: Advancing Equity and Eliminating Disparities in Health and Education, Attending to Place and Context, and Thriving through Transitions.

The Counseling Psychology program offers a doctoral degree in counseling psychology and the Counselor Education program grants master’s degrees in counselor education, with students admitted to each degree program separately. Faculty in the Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education programs contribute to instruction of students in both the master’s and doctoral degree tracks.
