The Department of Psychology at The Citadel invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Clinical or Counseling Psychology to begin in August 2020. Located in historic Charleston, South Carolina, The Citadel has been ranked for the past eight years (by U.S. News and World Report) as the top public college in the South among master’s-granting institutions. The position will primarily teach graduate courses in our robust Clinical-Counseling MA program that is accredited by the Masters in Psychology and Counseling Accreditation Council (MPCAC) and trains Licensed Professional Counselors to work in a variety of settings. Candidates will also have the opportunity to work with our undergraduate psychology students, including engagement in their program of research. The specific areas of expertise are open; however, preference will be given to candidates whose expertise is closely relevant to diversity and multicultural issues and/or addiction and substance abuse. In addition, we seek candidates who fit with our philosophy of training students in the use of empirically-supported treatments and evidence-based practice. Successful applicants are expected to demonstrate strong interests in mentoring and supervising students' clinical work. The ideal candidate will demonstrate evidence of successful work with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Minimum Qualifications:
Minimum requirements include a doctorate in clinical or counseling psychology (licensed or license-eligible preferred), documentation of instructional effectiveness at the graduate and undergraduate level, and evidence of research accomplishment. The Department of Psychology (with 11 full-time faculty) has approximately 75 undergraduate majors; in addition, we have about 100 graduate students in two programs -- Clinical Counseling and School Psychology, both accredited (by MPCAC and NASP/CAEP, respectively). The Citadel is a co-educational military college that provides a unique undergraduate learning environment complemented by a non-military Citadel Graduate College. The Citadel Foundation provides support for faculty research, development, and professional travel. The campus is located on the banks of the Ashley River on the Charleston peninsula, where the mild winters, nearby beaches, cultural activities, and culinary options combine to create a vibrant place to live. Additionally, the nearby Medical University of South Carolina and Ralph H Johnson VA hospital offer opportunities for collaboration and research.
Candidates should apply online and should attach the following: curriculum vitae; cover letter that addresses teaching interests and philosophy, research interests, and general suitability for the position; relevant reprints/preprints (which may be hyperlinked within vitae or cover letter if preferred); and at least three letters of reference.

Organization
The Citadel is a landmark in Charleston, South Carolina that is noted for its educational reputation and tradition of preparing and producing principled leaders. Founded in 1842, The Citadel has an undergraduate student body of 2,272 students who make up the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. 1,066 students attend The Citadel Graduate College, a civilian evening program that offers graduate and professional as well as undergraduate programs. The Citadel is best known nationally for its Corps of Cadets which attracts students from 43 states and eight countries. The men and women in the Corps live and study under a classical military system that makes leadership and character training an essential part of the educational experience. One third of the graduating classes accept military commissions. The Citadel is divided into five academic schools: Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Science and Mathematics. Because of its focus on teaching, a high graduation rate and strong alumni support, The Citadel ranks highly in the annual U.S. News & World Report ratings of southern colleges that offer at least a master's degree.
Living in The Citadel Community
Located in picturesque coastal Charleston, South Carolina, The Citadel offers a classic military education for young men and women who seek a college experience that is intense, meaningful and academically strong. Citadel graduates say the disciplined lifestyle and the friendships they forge here have had a profoundly positive effect on their lives and create bonds with generations of cadets before them and with generations to come. Small class sizes give students both the academic opportunities expected at a university and the personalized attention of a small liberal arts college. Bachelor of Arts degrees are available in chemistry, criminal justice, English, history, mathematics, modern languages, political science, and psychology. Bachelor of Science degrees are offered in biology, business administration (the most popular major), chemistry, civil and environmental engineering, computer science, education, electrical and computer engineering, mathematics, physical education, and physics. All cadets participate in the Army, Air Force or Naval/Marine Corps Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs. These programs do not require students to accept a commission or to be committed to active duty unless the cadet accepts an ROTC scholarship. A unique honors program gives advanced students at The Citadel the opportunity to work one-on-one with professors over a period of three years – a practice usually associated with graduate level studies. Generations of Citadel graduates have served their nation, their state and their community with distinction. Though the campus relocated in 1922 and the physical facilities have changed over time, The Citadel has stayed faithful to its original mission. It graduates men and women who value honor, integrity, loyalty and patriotism, and who accept the responsibilities that accompany principled leadership. The Citadel remains a stronghold of duty, self-discipline, and high ideals in a changing American society.
