DU is a private institution built on exploration through research and collaboration among educators, students, and local and global communities. With nationally recognized academic programs, R1 research and scholarship productivity, and a deep commitment to promoting inclusion, we open a world of opportunity to students to make a difference around the world. Through learning, scholarship and practice, students gain the experience, knowledge and courage they need to tackle big challenges in the real world and guide diverse communities and organizations.The University of Denver recognizes that its success in being a great university dedicated to the public good depends greatly on how well it engages, supports, and champions the values of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. As part of our intentionality in recruiting and retaining faculty from a wide variety of historically excluded intersecting identities, including those from communities of color, with diverse gender and sexual identities, first-generation college graduates, or with disabilities, new faculty will have the opportunity to choose to participate in a pilot University-wide initiative. This initiative will connect new colleagues in a cohort, building community across units with supportive programming led by the Office of the Vice Provost of Faculty Affairs in collaboration with the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and each faculty participant's academic unit.

For more information about this program or if you have any questions, please email [email protected] and/or visit https://duvpfa.du.edu/faculty-resources/prospective-faculty/.About the Graduate School of Professional Psychology At the Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP), our goal is to transform the way we think about and approach mental health and wellness. We do so through groundbreaking academic programs and experiential training that aims to ensure we can better meet the needs of the communities we serve. We are dedicated to developing exceptional practitioners and scholars by offering a well-rounded approach to education. Every single one of our programs blends valuable academic offerings, intensive field-based training, cutting-edge applied research, and constructive community engagement. Our academic programs are rooted in our history of service and have developed over time to meet the growing needs of society. As a professional school, GSPP promotes and utilizes high-level pedagogy that integrates applied practice, theory, research, and scholarship. For more information, please visit http://psychology.du.edu. GSPP seeks to train students to provide culturally competent services to clients and the community. Although more progress is needed, GSPP endeavors to create an accessible, affirming, and safe climate by actively engaging in the process of systemic transformation and accountability. About the Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology Program In 1976, GSPP became one of the first schools in the country to offer a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology. Since 1979, our inaugural degree has maintained accreditation by the American Psychological Association and has become one of the most competitive and comprehensive programs in the field of professional psychology. It is a dedicated, practice-focused clinical psychology program built on four pillars: rigorous academic coursework, in-house clinical work, community-based clinical work, and departmental mentorship. This approach produces well-rounded professionals with the skills necessary to help transform communities and lives. With approximately 150 students and 15 core faculty members, the program is one of the largest, most competitive, and most comprehensive PsyD programs in the country, with a high number of applicants, low admission rate (under 10%), and excellent internship match record. Students provide psychotherapy and psychological assessments to the Denver community in the on-campus training clinic, the Professional Psychology Clinic (with multiple sub-clinics), and through over 200 practicum placements. Position Summary The Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP) is seeking a new Faculty to lead training in clinical assessments within the Clinical Psychology (PsyD) program at DU. This is a full-time benefited position in the clinical series. Clinical faculty are eligible for promotion, but not tenure. The ideal candidate demonstrates experience and versatility in inclusive pedagogy. We are especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion through their teaching, scholarship, service, and practice. The position includes teaching, service, and administrative duties. Scholarship expectations for clinical faculty are minimal and can be negotiated with the Program Director.Academically, the faculty member will be involved with teaching, mentoring, and clinically supervising students conducting psychological assessments and on enhancing expertise in this area across GSPP's curriculum. Clinical faculty typically teach 9 classes over fall, winter, and spring quarters (because DU operates on the quarter system, this equates to 3 courses per quarter, or the equivalent of 6 courses over an academic year in a traditional semester system). The administrative duties associated with this position would likely include a 2 course release. In addition, this position may hire part-time graduate teaching assistants to assist with running labs and/or grading for assessments courses. All GSPP faculty members are expected to provide service to their academic program and school and to maintain multicultural competence and enhance their learning through professional development.A significant focus of this position is managing assessment services through the psychology training clinics, including expanding revenue generated by these services. Example duties may include managing an inventory including technology processes, drafting policies and developing processes around how all of GSPP's training clinics manage assessment services, aligning curriculum with clinical training, and hiring and training assessment supervisors. The faculty position duties require a strong grasp of administration, including financial and project management. This position reports to the PsyD Program Director, with a dotted line to the Director of Clinical Services for administrative duties. Faculty appointments are 10 months (September - June), but since the PsyD program is year-round, some summer obligations are expected and are compensated separately. This position has clinical responsibilities that extend through the summer.The appointment will commence on September 1, 2024.Appointment, tenure, and promotion for this role will be governed by the University of Denver's Policies and Procedures Relating to Faculty Appointment, Promotion, & Tenure.
