Job Description

Job Description: Housed within the College of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences, ISU’s Department of Psychology offers a BS and a BA in psychology, a minor in Applied Behavior Analysis, a PhD in Psychological Science, a new PsyD in Clinical Psychology (located on the ISU Meridian campus), and the state’s only APA-accredited PhD in Clinical Psychology (scientist-practitioner model, located on the ISU Pocatello campus). The Clinical Psychology PhD program also operates the ISU Psychology Clinic in Pocatello, that serves as a clinical training and community mental health clinic. We are seeking to fill a tenure-track faculty position, beginning in Fall 2027, at the rank of Assistant Professor. This position will primarily contribute to the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program and the undergraduate BA/BS major curriculum. Applicants must have received their degree from an accredited clinical psychology (or closely related discipline) doctoral program by the time of appointment and be license-eligible in the State of Idaho. As a core member of the program’s Clinical Training Committee, this faculty member will teach undergraduate and graduate classes, provide clinical supervision, conduct research in their area of expertise, and mentor students on theses and dissertations. Competitive applicants will have strong research scholarship, an intention to seek external funding, and a commitment to excellence in teaching, mentoring, and clinical supervision of students. Research and clinical expertise complementary to the current faculty is welcome.

This position is not eligible for new visa sponsorship at this time. Candidates who already hold valid U.S. work authorization may be considered.
