Detailed Job Description
Tenure Track Faculty Positions - Clinical or Counseling Psychology
The Department of Psychology at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT; www.rit.edu/psychology) invites candidates to apply for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions starting in August 2025. Candidates should have expertise in an area of Clinical Psychology or related fields (e.g., Counseling, School Psychology, Developmental with clinical focus). Preference will be given to candidates who have expertise in research areas synergistic with RIT such as application of AI or technology to clinical issues, health disparity research, counseling psychology, or human clinical neuroscience. We are particularly interested in individuals whose area of research expertise expands the current expertise of the faculty. For both positions we seek an energetic and enthusiastic psychologist who will serve as an instructor, researcher, and mentor to students in our undergraduate (Psychology, Neuroscience) and graduate programs (Masters in Experimental Psychology, Ph.D. in Cognitive Science). The Department of Psychology at RIT serves a rapidly expanding student population. The position requires a strong commitment to teaching, active research and publication, and a robust potential to attract external funding. Teaching and research are priorities for faculty at RIT, and all faculty are expected to mentor students through advising, research and in-class experiences. The successful candidate will be able to teach courses in our clinical psychology track (Clinical Psychology, Psychological Testing, Psychotherapy), research methods/statistics courses at the undergraduate and graduate level, mentor students in our graduate programs, and be eligible for licensure in NYS if applicable. In addition, candidates must be able to do research and work effectively within the department's existing lab space. Hires would also be expected to contribute to the department's long-term goal of starting a Clinical Ph.D. program. RIT provides many opportunities for collaborative research across the institute in many diverse disciplines such as Health Sciences, Digital Humanities, and AI. Clinical faculty interested in doing so are allowed to work in private practice part-time.
We are seeking individuals who have the ability and interest in contributing to a community committed to student-centeredness; professional development and scholarship; integrity and ethics; respect, diversity and pluralism; innovation and flexibility; and teamwork and collaboration.
