Assistant Clinical Professor (Psychology)

Position Duties

THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY AT LOYOLA UNIVERSITY MARYLAND invites applications for a one-year, full-time non-tenure track assistant professor, with the possibility of renewal, in the area of psychological assessment, to begin in Fall 2026. We are interested in candidates who can supervise adult and/or child assessment at the Loyola Clinical Centers (LCC), a training clinic where our Psy. D. in Clinical Psychology students train, located at Belvedere Square in Baltimore, Maryland. The position spans the fall 2026, spring, and summer 2027 semesters.

The LCC is an interdisciplinary clinic with the mission to provide state-of-the-art comprehensive clinical education and training to graduate students in psychology, speech-language pathology, audiology, and literacy. We train students in best practices to deliver evidence-based assessment and intervention services to individuals and families of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses. The LCC's mission is to provide access to care regardless of financial resources and to promote an inclusive environment for the citizens of Baltimore City and surrounding communities. We aspire to educate and train future health care professionals to lead and serve in their communities and foster inclusive, equitable environments with particular attention to the underserved, so all have the potential to develop, change, and lead fulfilled and meaningful lives.

This position includes supervision of student assessments of clients conducted at the LCC, as well as individual and group supervision to support student development and excellent care in client-facing work, across the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

This position will involve supervising 6 second-year students (2 sections; 3 students per section) who are conducting psychoeducational and psychodiagnostic evaluations with clients from Baltimore and the surrounding communities. Each student is responsible to administer 5 assessment cases over the course of the year (2 Fall, 2 Spring, 1 Summer). Six first-year students (3 per section) will shadow the second-years' cases and engage in group supervision throughout the year.

Assessment batteries typically include some combination of the following measures: cognitive (WAIS, WISC), achievement (WIAT, WJ, OWLS, Fifers, GORT, etc.), performance validity (PdPVTS, TOMM), memory (WRAML, WMS/CMS, CVLT), executive functioning (RCFT, D-KEFS, NEPSY, CPT), personality (MMPI, PAI, Millon), and various self- and other-report measures (BASC, BRIEF, CAARS, etc.). The supervisor will be assigned one teaching assistant per section to support student test-outs, review scoring, and review first drafts of reports to assist the supervisor.

Supervision of adult and child rotations requires individual and group supervision of students over the fall, spring, and summer semesters. The supervisor provides on-site individual supervision on an as needed basis, which typically occurs 3-5 times per case. The supervisor also provides weekly on-site group supervision (1 hour per section), which typically includes a mix of case review and didactics to support the students' training and growth. Supervisors may engage in interdisciplinary consultations with students and are expected to be present for all assessment feedback appointments.

In addition to the above, the successful candidate will provide on-call supervision coverage for students on days the supervisor is on site, hold dedicated office hours, advise graduate students, and participate in additional department service.

You will be asked to submit 1) a cover letter, 2) curriculum vita, 3) evidence of assessment skills and supervision effectiveness, 4) a list of three references who can comment on assessment skills and/or supervision ability, and 5) a statement of supervision philosophy that explicitly addresses the position summary and incorporates a clear understanding of Loyola's Jesuit mission.

Required Qualifications: (1) Doctorate (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Clinical or Counseling Psychology; (2) independently licensed as a psychologist in Maryland; (3) the ability to supervise assessment rotations (adult and/or child) at the Loyola Clinical Centers with prior supervision experience and evidence of effectiveness; (4) the ability to create a sense of inclusion and belonging in the classroom, and to infuse multicultural content into supervision as appropriate; (5) strong commitment to excellence in supervision, including an appreciation of or engagement in high-impact supervision practices.
