The Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola University Chicago (LUC) invites applications to fill the Frank J. Kobler Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology starting in academic year 2022-2023. The department seeks applicants in Clinical/Community Psychology who employ community participatory research methods to understand and promote health/mental health equity and/or address contexts that contribute to disparities (e.g., poverty, inequality, discrimination, oppression). This may include community partnered approaches to understanding community needs, developing community-driven solutions, designing prevention approaches, translating basic research into evidenced-based community interventions, and/or informing and advocating for policy that addresses racial inequality. The department currently has more than 25 tenured or tenure-track faculty, serves 1,800 undergraduate psychology majors plus more than 600 neuroscience majors, and has three PhD programs (Developmental, Clinical, and Social). For more information about the department, please visit its website at https://www.luc.edu/psychology/. This hire is part of a University-wide, multiyear hiring initiative designed to hire outstanding researchers and teachers who are reflective of our diverse student body and committed to interdisciplinarity (i.e. working with colleagues across different subfields and disciplines) and the pursuit of external grants. Of special interest are candidates who can further the University’s efforts to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. As an urban-based Department of Psychology dedicated to mentoring a diverse student body, many of whom come from under-represented and under-served populations, we especially encourage applications from candidates from under-represented groups. We seek candidates with an excellent record of teaching and research, and a deep commitment to undergraduate education. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the Clinical PhD program, and to teach one or more undergraduate course(s) in as well as graduate courses in, for example, Clinical Psychology, Community Psychology, Assessment, Health Psychology, Family Psychology, Human Diversity, Ethics, Community Participatory Research Methods, and/or Statistics. Experience working or conducting research in the specialty areas noted above is desirable. The candidate should be willing to support the mission of LUC and the goals of a Jesuit Catholic Education.

The candidates will have a Ph.D. in Psychology at the time of appointment. Candidates for the position must clearly demonstrate the potential for excellence in research and teaching and have a record of (or clear potential for) distinguished scholarship, grant-funded research, and student mentorship. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to mentor and support students from diverse backgrounds. Preference will be given to candidates who use multiple or mixed methods research approaches. The successful candidate will also demonstrate (a) an ability to maintain a vigorous, ongoing program of research and publication, (b) the potential to secure external grant funding to support that research, © an ability to contribute in a substantial way to the university’s mission to promote social justice and equity, and (d) engagement in trans-disciplinary research across the campuses.
