William James College announces openings for full-time Teaching Faculty Fellows in the Counseling and Behavioral Health Department beginning August 2024 . The Fellowship offers a highly competitive salary and opportunities for career advancement at the College.
The Teaching Faculty Fellowship aims to recruit, train, and mentor recent graduates or early career professionals who have completed their doctoral degrees in Counselor Education and Supervision, Counseling Psychology, or Clinical Psychology (with a Master’s degree in Counseling); and prepare new faculty to enter the nation’s professoriate. The primary aim of the Fellowship is to develop a critical mass of exceptionally talented and well-trained faculty members who are historically underrepresented in academic settings. It endeavors to equip Fellows with the skills, knowledge, and expertise to engage in paradigm shifting inclusive teaching, advising, and research practices as well as in administrative and leadership positions in academia.
Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must be (1) recent graduates or early career professionals with doctoral degrees in Counselor Education and Supervision, Counseling Psychology, or Clinical Psychology (with a Master’s degree in Counseling), including those who will complete their graduate studies by August 2024; and (2) individuals who identify with groups that have historically been underrepresented in academia are preferred, including, but not limited to, individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, individuals with disabilities, ethnically, racially, or religiously minoritized individuals, and veterans and those presently serving in the armed forces (are preferred).
Candidates with a strong interest in promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility as well as a demonstrated commitment to serving underserved communities are encouraged to apply.
Responsibilities: Teaching Faculty Fellows are involved in teaching, advising, and research supervision of graduate students. Additionally, they participate in didactic training on inclusive teaching and learning designs, strength-based pedagogical approaches, and culturally empowering instructional strategies. Fellows actively engage in professional development, scholarly, and program evaluation activities. They also receive faculty and peer mentorship throughout their enrollment in the program. Of particular interest to the Fellowship are candidates with a background—or interest in developing expertise—in family therapy, career counseling, and group counseling. We are seeking applicants with interest in addressing disparities in these domains and/or whose work has focused on behavioral health equity for unserved groups and underserved communities. Fellows may teach generalist foundational courses in the Counseling and Behavioral Health Department.
Qualifications: Candidates must possess a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Ed.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision preferably from a CACREP accredited program, or a doctoral degree (i.e., a PsyD, Ed.D. or a Ph.D.) in Counseling or Clinical Psychology (or expect to earn your degree by August 2024). If the doctoral degree is in Clinical or Counseling Psychology, candidates must have completed an APA accredited internship. Furthermore, if the doctoral degree is in Clinical Psychology, candidates must have a Master’s degree in Counseling. Candidates must have earned their degrees within the past 10 years (through August 2024), have teaching and clinical experience, and be licensed or license-eligible in Massachusetts as a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) or as a Psychologist/Health Services Provider. A demonstrated record of relevant scholarly work is preferred, including community service and engagement, organizational leadership, and innovative and entrepreneurial activities. Successful candidates will also have a demonstrated commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and multicultural competence in an educational and work environment and must be willing to contribute to the College’s strategic plan of inclusion. The Department welcomes applications from individuals who may have had nontraditional career paths, who may have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside of academia.
Application Procedure: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. Interested candidates are strongly encouraged to apply by Friday, May 17th , 2024. Applicants for the Teaching Faculty Fellowship must submit:
