The department has 42 faculty members and over 100 graduate students across five doctoral programs, including Clinical, Cognitive Sciences, Community, Developmental, and Neuropsychology & Behavioral Neuroscience.

Two Clinical Psychologists (Assistant/Associate Professors). Qualified applicants at the assistant level must be developing an independent research program that will be competitive for external funding, whereas qualified associate professors must have external funding in place to be competitive. Applicants must be committed to training in a scientist-practitioner-oriented doctoral program, and be prepared to contribute to clinical training via teaching, supervision, mentoring of graduate students, and to undergraduate instruction. One position is for a candidate whose research and expertise contributes to programmatic strengths in clinical neuropsychology.

For both positions, candidates with research, clinical, and/or teaching expertise with diverse populations, including young children and aging adults, and/or with interest in assessment supervision are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. from an APA-accredited Clinical Psychology Program and be eligible for Georgia licensure (successfully completed EPPP and postdoctoral hours) at the time of appointment, with the expectation that Georgia licensure will be obtained within one year of appointment.
