Job Overview

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 neuropsychology, pediatric psychology, health equity, couples and families, immigrant populations, and other research areas, so potential for collaboration is strong.

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.

UC is a diverse university community, and it is a vital part of our mission to help students from diverse backgrounds succeed.

The department is particularly interested in increasing its existing strength in international studies in clinical psychology, with a focus on the cultural relevance of clinical psychology to global populations. We are currently seeking to expand our offerings of undergraduate courses in clinical psychology.
