Full-Time Non-Tenure-Track Lecturers in Clinical Psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston
invites applications for two full-time, non-tenure-track Lecturers in
Clinical Psychology with a track record of success in teaching and clinical
work/clinical supervision. Our goal is to successfully recruit one
adult-focused and one child-focused lecturer, who will (a) teach
undergraduate and graduate courses, (b) provide clinical supervision to
doctoral student trainees, and (c) provide therapy or supervision and/or
conduct assessments as part of faculty research projects. Courses taught
could include, for example, Personality, Abnormal Psychology, Principles of
Psychotherapy, or Psychological Testing, as well as additional courses
proposed by the lecturer and approved by the faculty.

Requirements include a Ph.D. in Clinical or Counseling Psychology obtained
from a scientist-practitioner or clinical scientist program; current
professional identity as a scientist-practitioner; current licensure as a
psychologist (MA license preferred); demonstrated experience and skill
working with people from diverse backgrounds; and clear evidence of
excellence in, or potential for excellence in, teaching and clinical
supervision. Although initial contracts will be for one year, with the
possibility of renewal, these are intended as multi-year, long-term
positions, subject to satisfactory performance. The start date will be
September 1, 2014.
