About The Position

Oregon State University’s School of Psychological Science, within the College of Liberal Arts, invites applications for a full-time, 9-month, tenure-track Associate Professor or tenured Full Professor of Clinical Psychology. The successful candidate will help lead the emerging Clinical Science PhD program. Appointment at the Associate Professor rank is anticipated; appointment at a promoted rank may be considered based on qualifications. Appointment with indefinite tenure at the Associate Professor or Professor rank is subject to a successful out-of-cycle tenure review. The position is part of a multi-line, multi-year investment in clinical science research and teaching supporting a growing undergraduate major and PhD program. Clinical Science training was added in Fall 2024 as an option within the existing Psychology PhD program. The program emphasizes rigorous training in the science and practice of evidence-based interventions, reaching diverse populations that may lack access to mental health care, and the thoughtful use of technology in clinical psychological service. The School seeks a colleague in any area of clinical psychological science who will help shape a team committed to excellence in clinical research, practice, and training consistent with Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) values. The position includes conducting an active research program, teaching 4–5 classes each academic year on a quarter system, mentoring PhD students, and providing service to the School, College, University, and broader professional community. The work schedule is standard Monday through Friday, and the position is campus-based. Starting salary is commensurate with skills, education, and experience. The anticipated start date is September 16, 2027.
