Position Description
The Lewis & Clark College Department of Psychology invites applicants for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Clinical or Counseling Psychology to begin Fall 2027.

We seek candidates whose research and teaching complement the department's existing strengths.

Preference given to candidates who are license-eligible. The normal teaching load is five courses per academic year, and the candidate will regularly teach introductory and upper-level courses in abnormal and clinical psychology, upper-level specialty courses related to their area(s) of expertise, and a course in our departmental core (Introduction to Psychology, Statistics, or Research Methods).
A complete application must include a cover letter which describes your interest in joining Lewis & Clark College, your research interests, your teaching philosophy, and a statement describing how your teaching and professional activities will contribute to an inclusive classroom and campus community. We also require a curriculum vitae, evidence of teaching effectiveness, a sample of scholarship (which may be work in progress), graduate transcripts, and three letters of recommendation (uploaded separately by your recommenders).
