/>Our ideal faculty candidate will display commitments to engaged teaching and research as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion. Given that we have more than two dozen community-based training sites and our new low-fee community clinic, the ideal candidate will also have clinical and supervisory experience across multiple levels of care and varied populations.

Beginning in Summer of 2025, responsibilities will expand to include teaching and supervision of doctoral students. We welcome applicants with teaching and research expertise in any area relevant to clinical mental health counseling, and we will work with the successful candidate to create a teaching schedule that aligns with their training, experience, and interests.
