Description

The Department of Psychology at the University of South Florida seeks to fill a 9 month, full-time and tenure-earning, Assistant Professor position in CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, with service to begin August 7, 2024.

Strong preference will be given to applicants with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from an APA/CPA accredited program, including an APA/CPA accredited predoctoral internship.

Applicants should have an active programmatic line of research, evidence of excellence in undergraduate/graduate teaching, and beliefs consistent with a clinical science model. Candidates who have secured external research funding and supervised doctoral students are especially encouraged to apply.

Salary is negotiable.

Applications received after October 31, 2023, may be reviewed and advanced in cases of compelling merit up to the conclusion of the search process.
