Residents are expected to participate in campus outreach and education and may supervise master’s-level trainees and conduct learning-disability and psychodiagnostic assessments.

The expected salary is $2,803.85 biweekly for 10 months. The posted annual salary range is $72,900–$91,100, commensurate with education and experience. The expected start date is August 9, 2027. The position may not be eligible for visa sponsorship now or in the future.
