The Department of Psychological Sciences at William & Mary, a public university of the Commonwealth of Virginia, seeks applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level in Clinical Psychology. Although the area of research specialization is open, applicants who conduct research with traditionally underserved populations or who specialize in areas related to systemic bias, health disparities, and/or the cultural context of psychopathology are especially encouraged to apply.  Appointment will begin August 10, 2024. Located in historic Williamsburg, Virginia and close to metropolitan areas such as Richmond, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach, William & Mary consistently ranks among the top public universities nationally.

Duties include research, teaching, and service to the University. The applicant is expected to establish and maintain a vibrant research program that inspires a highly motivated undergraduate student body as well as Master’s students and that has the potential to yield external funding. Teaching expectation is two courses per semester. Successful applicants must possess the skills to teach compelling courses in psychopathology at all levels of the curriculum and other lecture and seminar-style courses in their area of expertise.

Required Qualifications: Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology or a related field (e.g., Counseling or Community Psychology) at the time appointment begins (August 10, 2024). Evidence of scholarly achievement or demonstrated potential as a scholar is also required.
