Join a committed, enthusiastic group of teacher-scholars who are eager to welcome new colleagues to the department. Faculty members are actively engaged in research and committed to teaching undergraduate and master’s degree students both inside and outside the classroom (with integration of research into teaching a standard practice). Undergraduate and graduate students are regularly involved in the process of research with individually supervised research projects in collaboration with faculty.
Area of specialization is open but preference will be given to candidates who complement existing areas of faculty specialization. The PhD in Psychology must be completed by time of appointment (ABDs with a documented plan of completion by appointment date will be considered). Clinical candidates must have a PhD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology from an APA-approved program and licensure in Kentucky (or eligibility for licensure within one year). Successful candidates will provide evidence of excellence in teaching, the ability to establish an active research program, and the interest and ability to involve undergraduate and master’s level graduate students in their research as well as to direct undergraduate research projects and graduate student theses. Candidates must have the ability to teach General Psychology and additional undergraduate and master’s level courses in their areas of specialization. Clinical candidates should also have the ability to serve as a Practicum instructor supervising adult and child therapy and assessment cases in a community-serving, sliding-fee-scale clinic based in the department. A cognitive-behavioral orientation is preferred.
