About The Position

The Department of Psychology at Binghamton University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Clinical Science Ph.D. Program, with a research focus on schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses (SMI). Our program holds dual accreditation from PCSAS and the APA Commission on Accreditation and is a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science. We seek a clinical scientist whose research advances mechanistic understanding of psychotic and SMI, including etiology, assessment development, and intervention research. Methodological approach is open and may include cognitive, neural, psychophysiological, computational, social, or psychosocial approaches. Candidates are especially encouraged to apply if their methods take advantage of the Brain and Body Imaging Research Center (BBIRC), a 3T Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma facility opened in 2023 through partnership with United Health Services, or who would build collaborations with the Greater Binghamton Health Center (GBHC) and the OnTrackNY early-psychosis program. The Department values scholarship that bridges scientific rigor with community impact. The Psychology Department consists of 48 faculty members in three doctoral programs (Behavioral Neuroscience, Clinical Science, and Cognitive and Brain Sciences), as well as eight teaching faculty offering additional expertise in developmental, school, forensic, and social psychology. We recognize that excellence is often informed by varied life experiences. We therefore welcome applicants with non-traditional career trajectories or significant professional experience outside of academia. The Department prizes collegiality at all ranks, is family-friendly, and there is a pre-school on campus. Additional information about the Department is available at https://www.binghamton.edu/psychology/ . Binghamton University is dedicated to advancing equity and inclusion, and in particular to the goal of building a diverse and inclusive teaching, research, and working environment, including a diverse faculty. Evidence of a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion through research, teaching, and/or service will be valued. Potential applicants who share this goal, especially members of groups historically underrepresented in the field and those from non-traditional backgrounds, women, and persons with disabilities, are strongly encouraged to apply.
