About The Position

The School of Psychology at Xavier University invites applications for two full-time, tenure-track faculty positions at the Assistant Professor rank, beginning Fall 2026. The positions will support our APA-accredited clinical psychology doctoral (Psy.D.) program and our undergraduate psychology major. The Psy.D. program has a strong record of success, including 10-year accreditation status with APA. The program draws highly competitive applicants from across the country and admits cohorts of approximately 18 students each year. Students receive generalist, practitioner-scientist training along with specialized coursework in one or more focus areas: Child and Adolescent, Individuals with Severe and Chronic Problems & Psychopathology (ISCPP), and Healthcare Psychology across the Lifespan (HCPALS). Over the past five years, 95% of our students have matched to an APA accredited internship site and 98% of our graduates are licensed psychologists. We also have a large undergraduate major and a minor in Psychology. Faculty teach in both programs, typically teaching three courses per semester. Faculty also engage in a program of research, mentor graduate and undergraduate research, provide service within the School of Psychology and University, and may provide clinical supervision to Psy.D. students. The School of Psychology is part of the College of Professional Sciences, which promotes experiential learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. Xavier University is part of the 500-year-old Jesuit Catholic tradition of academic excellence in the liberal arts. Guided by our mission and values, we welcome and support members from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. We unreservedly commit to open and free inquiry, deliberately seek out multiple perspectives, and create a campus where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Our campus is located in the vibrant and thriving city of Cincinnati, which has an array of neighborhoods and activities to suit many interests.
