The PSC Director will operate an active service-delivery facility that (a) provides clients with the best currently available evidence-based services, (b) generates practice-based evidence via routine outcomes monitoring, and (c) uses the patient database to inform responsive practice, enhance training in psychosocial service delivery, and produce novel research.

The successful candidate should have demonstrated a commitment to fostering cultural sensitivity and promoting an inclusive environment. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology or a related discipline and must have the requisite credentials for licensure as a psychologist and as a health service provider in Massachusetts.
