Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati embarks upon its third century – building on the past and defining the future by leading urban, public universities into a new era of innovation and impact through its strategic direction, Next Lives Here . Underscoring the power of creativity, ingenuity, invention and inclusion, what’s Next will accelerate our unrivaled momentum, evidenced by eight straight years of record enrollment and rankings that include placement among America’s top 100 public universities by U.S. News & World Report. Home to a diverse student body of nearly 47,000 and more than 4,200 distinguished faculty, the university combines its Research 1 (Very High Research Activity) Carnegie Classification with a physical setting that The New York Times recently acclaimed as “the most ambitious campus design program in the country.

The Department of Psychology at the University of Cincinnati (UC) seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor in clinical psychology who will contribute to the department’s research, undergraduate and graduate teaching, and service missions. Our department includes faculty with nationally funded research programs focused on minority populations, including Latino, LGBTQ, refugee populations, and those with cognitive dysfunction, so collaboration and support for diversity science is strong. We are seeking a colleague who will make contributions to coverage of diversity in the research and clinical training experiences we offer in our clinical psychology doctoral program.

Outside of the Psychology Department, this position affords opportunities to collaborate research efforts with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, UC College of Medicine, and local community agencies. We strongly encourage applications from members of under-represented groups, including people of color, persons with disabilities, and veterans. UC is a diverse university community and it is a vital part of our mission to help students from diverse backgrounds succeed.

The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research, mentor undergraduate and doctoral student research, provide clinical supervision of doctoral students in our department’s Behavioral Health Center, teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and make service contributions to the department, the university, and the profession. More specifically, candidates are expected to conduct research in areas  including, but not limited to, diversity, minority health/mental health, and/or African-American mental health. Research functions include maintaining an active research agenda and disseminating research results. Teaching subject matter will depend on the candidate’s interests and expertise; example courses could be Clinical Interventions with Diverse Populations, Introduction to Therapy, or Interventions with Children. Service includes contributing to departmental committees and engaging in professional service in the candidate’s field.
