Title Tenure-Track Professor in Clinical Psychology

School Faculty of Arts and Sciences

Department/Area Department of Psychology

Position Description 

The Department of Psychology at Harvard University seeks to appoint a tenure-track professor in Clinical Psychology. The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2025. The tenure-track professor will be responsible for teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.

We seek candidates with expertise in clinical psychological science, broadly conceived. Our interest is less in specific topic areas or methods than in innovation and excellence in the applicant’s research program. For instance, in addition to experimental behavioral research on humans, successful candidates might employ cognitive neuroscience, genetic, cross-cultural work, or computational modeling, among other approaches. We seek candidates whose scholarship complements existing research in the Department. 

Basic Qualifications 

Doctorate or terminal degree required by the time the appointment begins. Candidates should have demonstrated a promise of excellence in both research and teaching. 

Additional Qualifications 

Demonstrated strong commitment to teaching and advising is desired.
