Job Summary
The School of Psychological Science (housed within the College of Liberal Arts) at Oregon State University invites applications for a full-time (1.00 FTE) 9-month, tenure-track Associate or tenured Full Professor of Clinical Psychology position to assist in leading the emerging Clinical Science PhD program.
Appointment at the Associate Professor rank is anticipated; however, appointment at a promoted rank may be considered depending upon the qualifications of the successful candidate.

We seek a colleague who focuses on any area of clinical psychological science and is eager to join and help shape a dynamic team that prioritizes excellence in clinical research, practice, and training, consistent with Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) values.
