Clinical Psychology - Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Teaching

The Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus, invites applications for a tenure-track position in Clinical Psychology, at the rank of Assistant Professor of Teaching. The successful candidate will be a member of the clinical psychology program in the Department of Psychology (http://psyo.ok.ubc.ca/welcome.html). The appointment is expected to start on July 1, 2023, or soon thereafter.

Applicants must have a PhD in Clinical Psychology, with completed clinical training from a CPA- or APA-accredited program, a completed CPA- or APA-accredited internship, and must be eligible for registration with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia. Candidates will have a record of relevant university-level teaching, ideally in Psychopharmacology and Brain & Behaviour [other areas would be considered]; a demonstrable commitment to teaching excellence; and a promise of education leadership. They are also expected to show evidence of commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and the promotion of a respectful, collegial, and conducive learning and working environment. We are particularly interested in candidates with teaching experience and expertise related to a variety of therapy approaches, particularly third-wave therapies. That being said, all candidates with a PhD in Clinical Psychology are strongly encouraged to apply.

The appointee is required to keep abreast of current developments in the field of Clinical Psychology and related pedagogy, but there is no requirement to undertake research activities. Nevertheless, the ability to integrate one's expertise into ongoing scholarly activities in the Department and on the campus, and to enhance existing strengths in Clinical Psychology is desirable and will be a significant asset.

The successful candidate is expected to contribute to supervision of Clinical Practica and teach at least one of the core courses in the clinical curriculum (e.g., cognitive, neuropsychology, social, intervention, assessment, etc.). An interest in teaching the history of psychology at the undergraduate and/or graduate level would be welcome. The individual will also have the opportunity to contribute to further development of the curriculum, supervise undergraduate and graduate students, and fulfill service obligations to the University and community.

The Department of Psychology, at UBC's Okanagan campus, is a dynamic and highly interdisciplinary department of more than 20 faculty members. The Department holds particular strength in areas of prevention, mental health, and wellness, as well as in neurocognition and interpersonal processes.

The Department is housed in the vibrant Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Social Sciences. The Faculty offers both discipline-based and interdisciplinary programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The collegial learning environment in the Faculty focuses on effective teaching, critical and creative scholarship, and the integration of scholarship and teaching. We are committed to an ethos of local involvement, global engagement, and intercultural awareness, and we provide a positive, inclusive, and mutually supportive working and learning environment for all our students, faculty, and staff.
