We seek an outstanding and creative scientist with an established record of success and a program of research, or evidence of the ability to establish one, with the potential to address the biggest problems in the field of mental health.

    Preferred applicants may possess expertise in any area of clinical psychology, including interdisciplinary fields connected to clinical psychology, whose work complements and broadens existing strengths in our program (e.g., clinical and developmental neuroscience, family research, psychotherapy and intervention research). We believe that research that is community-based, utilizes qualitative approaches, and addresses issues related to diversity science are rigorous and important areas of inquiry in our discipline. We are excited to review applications from candidates whose research programs engage with such topics and methods, as well as those from candidates who utilize innovative approaches to neuroscience and advanced quantitative methods in clinical psychology. Candidates from diverse backgrounds (e.g., Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and LGBTQ scientists) are particularly encouraged to apply, including under-represented candidates who may come from less traditional backgrounds and may be unsure if they meet every requirement described in this advertisement.

    • An excellent record of scholarly achievement, broadly defined.
    • Evidence of independent and collaborative research potential
    • Demonstrated interest and ability in teaching at the undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels
    • Showed dedication to centering and enhancing excellence in inclusiveness and belonging in research, teaching, and/or outreach.

    Salary/Benefits

    • Commensurate with experience.
    • The University offers a competitive salary with an attractive benefits package.

    Along with the application, please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, statement of teaching philosophy, a diversity statement (see below), three (3) samples of representative research papers, and contact information for three (3) references.

    We will begin to review applications on October 1, 2023, and will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.

    Our program, department, and university have developed DEI initiatives and goals in line with our mission of supporting our multicultural community. We therefore seek an individual with a demonstrated commitment to promoting equitable practices in research, teaching, and service in Psychology and who will contribute to building an inclusive community. The statement of contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion should identify past experiences and future goals. These contributions may result from lived experiences, scholarly work, and/or mentoring, teaching, and outreach activities. ()

    The University is committed to active recruitment of a diverse faculty and student body. The University of Massachusetts Amherst is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer of women, minorities, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities and encourages applications from these and other protected group members. Because broad diversity is essential to an inclusive climate and critical to the University's goals of achieving excellence in all areas, we will holistically assess the many qualifications of each applicant and favorably consider an individual's record working with students and colleagues with broadly diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds in educational, research or other work activities.
