Job Summary
The School of Psychological Science resides in the College of Liberal Arts, invites applications for a full-time (1.00 FTE), 9-month, tenure-track (annual) Assistant, Associate or Full Professor of Clinical Psychology position (depending on qualifications).
The School of Psychological Science resides in the College of Liberal Arts. The primary mission of the School is undergraduate and graduate education and research. The School offers BA and BS degrees, an undergraduate minor, and a Ph.D. in Psychology.
This position is part of a multi-line, multi-year investment in clinical science research and teaching, in support of a successful, rapidly growing undergraduate major and Ph.D. program. Clinical Psychology training will be an option in the Psychology PhD beginning in Fall 2024, and will be centered on developing, testing, and implementing evidence-based interventions. A particular emphasis will be on reaching diverse populations who lack access to mental health care and on the wise use of technology in clinical psychological service.
We seek a colleague who focuses on any area of clinical psychological science, and is eager to join a dynamic team developing new centers of excellence in both clinical research and training, consistent with Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) accreditation. The individual hired for this position would have opportunities to contribute to existing strengths of the School in addiction science, sleep health, health disparities research among marginalized populations, and diversity science. There are opportunities to teach a mix of undergraduate and graduate courses in Corvallis, with the possibility of teaching online classes.
Appointment at the Assistant Professor rank is anticipated; however, appointment at the rank of Associate or Full Professor may be considered depending upon the qualifications of the successful candidate. Any hiring at the rank of Associate Professor/Full Professor with indefinite tenure will be subject to a successful out-of-cycle tenure review process: https://facultyaffairs.oregonstate.edu/out-cycle-tenure-review-procedure .
In the School of Psychological Science, we recognize the social barriers that have systematically marginalized and excluded people based on race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual identity, socioeconomic background, age, disability, national origin, religion, being members of first nations or other indigenous communities, and other identities. We are committed to the equity of opportunities and strive to promote and advance diverse communities through our scholarship, teaching, and service. We value and proactively seek participation from members of these under-represented and under-served groups and recognize them as essential members of a rich academic and cultural environment.
Additionally, our School prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion goals so that we may more effectively teach, advise, and mentor a diverse student body, and enhance the scope and impact of our health-related research and curricula. Therefore, candidates should describe demonstrable skills, experience, and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the research and teaching statement portions of their application.
