What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Professor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology position at University of Pittsburgh?
The Department of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for one tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in Clinical Psychology, pending budgetary approval, to begin Fall of 2027. We are seeking candidates with core training in Clinical Psychology whose research complements and builds upon our current research areas. Our primary interest is in candidates who do research on adult psychopathology. Those candidates who are license eligible are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates are encouraged to highlight how principles of transparency, openness, and/or generalizability have informed their approach to research. We also welcome candidates who can build our department-wide emphasis on varied cultures and perspectives by contributing research and training strengths in this area.
The Psychology Department is committed to excellence in research and in teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Its 31 tenure-stream faculty offer five graduate training programs: Biological and Health, Clinical, Cognitive, Developmental, and Social, along with cross-program training opportunities. The interdisciplinary nature of psychological science is reflected in both faculty research interests and collaborations and training options afforded to graduate students.
The deadline for submitting applications is November 13, 2026. Applicants should assemble and submit a cover letter, CV, up to three papers, the names of three prospective referees, and statements of research, teaching, and service interests. The research, teaching, and service statements offer an opportunity to share your motivation, approach, experience, leadership, impact, and vision in each area, including how you would support the university’s mission (https://www.plan.pitt.edu/). Other materials may be requested following the initial candidate review.
