Job Description

We are seeking to fill an 11-month clinical faculty position, beginning in Fall 2026, as the Director of Clinical Training role for a new PsyD program. Housed within the College of Arts and Letters, ISU's Department of Psychology offers a BS and a BA in psychology, a minor in Applied Behavior Analysis, a PhD in general Experimental Psychology, and the state's only APA-accredited PhD in Clinical Psychology (scientist-practitioner model). In Fall 2026, the department will expand to also offer a PsyD in Clinical Psychology located on the ISU Meridian campus.

Applicants must have received their degree from an accredited clinical psychology (or closely related discipline) doctoral program and be license-eligible in the State of Idaho. As a core member of the department's PsyD Clinical Training Committee, this faculty member will teach graduate classes, provide clinical supervision, serve in an administrative role for the program, and mentor students in the program. Competitive applicants will have a commitment to excellence in teaching, mentoring, and clinical supervision of graduate students. Clinical expertise with an integrated behavioral health and/or telehealth focus is welcome.

It is expected that the faculty member will teach one graduate course per semester (Fall & Spring), with the remaining portion of the workload being dedicated to Director of Clinical Training administrative duties, clinical supervision, student mentorship/advising, and other professional service (each equivalent in workload to one course per semester). During the shortened Summer semester, duties will focus on clinical supervision and Director of Clinical Training administrative tasks.
