We are interested in experts in any area of mental health and clinical psychology. The department offers a PhD program in clinical psychology, in both child and adult areas, that uses a scientist-practitioner model, is highly competitive, and has been continually accredited since 1948.

Associate Professors and Professors will be evaluated on their demonstrated abilities in research (including a history of successful external funding) and teaching.

Although we will consider all areas of research, we are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in Clinical Child or Adolescent Psychology and a research program that focuses on children or adolescents. We are also interested in individuals with expertise in the following areas: social determinants of mental health / disparities, diversity, assessment, or neuropsychology. Candidates whose work bridges into one or more of our other program areas – Communication Sciences and the DCAS program – will be preferred.

Candidates should submit 1) a cover letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) a research statement, 4) a teaching statement that includes evidence of effective teaching, 5) a publication or writing sample, 6) a diversity statement, and 7) a list of three references.

This statement should also reflect on the ways in which the candidate’s continued efforts will foster a culture of diversity, pluralism, and individual difference at Case Western Reserve University.
