About The Position

A Jesuit institution located in the thriving Denver, Colorado metro area, Regis University invites applicants for two full-time Assistant/Associate Professors in the Department of Counseling. Co-housed with the Department of Couple and Family Therapy within the School of Mental and Behavioral Health and uniquely positioned in the Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions, the Department of Counseling utilizes a state-of-the-art training clinic, maintains strong community partnerships, and provides opportunities for inter-professional education and the delivery of integrated healthcare. Faculty facilitate student-directed learning in an atmosphere emphasizing accountability and teamwork skills; as such, the successful candidate will demonstrate excellence in utilizing various teaching methods and an interest in working collaboratively with diverse groups of students, staff, and faculty colleagues. We are excited to offer these faculty positions that bridge our in-person master’s program and our new hybrid online Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision that launched in fall 2025.

Most duties are carried out at the Interprofessional Health Campus in Thornton, Colorado. Bi-lingual (Spanish-speaking) applicants are encouraged to apply.

This role is not suitable for faculty seeking remote-only positions.
