The Department of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston invites applications for a full-time Lecturer position beginning September 1, 2025 in Clinical Psychology with a track record of success in clinical work/clinical supervision and teaching. The person in this unique full-time position will be fully integrated into the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program and the Department of Psychology. Our goal is to successfully recruit a psychologist who will (a) serve as the Practicum Coordinator for our clinical psychology doctoral program, coordinating placements and supporting students in completing external practicum placements, (b) provide clinical supervision to doctoral student trainees particularly through our UMB-UR-BEST outreach program (see https://www.umb.edu/umburbest), and (c) teach undergraduate and graduate courses. Courses could include graduate Practicum seminars and undergraduate Personality, Mental Health and Psychological Distress, Principles of Psychotherapy, or Social Psychology courses, as well as additional courses as proposed and approved by the department. As with all core, full-time faculty members in our department, additional faculty responsibilities include providing racially and culturally responsive advising to undergraduate students and contributing to service for the program, department, and college.
UMass Boston is the third most diverse university in the country. More than 60% of our undergraduate students come from minoritized communities and groups and more than half of our students are the first in their families to attend a college or university. Thus, our students come to us from richly diverse life experiences and backgrounds; they bring to our classrooms and research settings the robust range of perspectives growing out of the socio-cultural, economic, and historical contexts in which they have lived, along with the challenges they encounter, engage, and strive to overcome.
Given this context, please submit a teaching and clinical experiences statement that articulates how your approach to supervision, teaching, advising, and mentoring will engage with the diverse life experiences of students, will reflect an appreciation for the ways in which students bring their holistic selves into the academic setting, and will reflect how your own life experiences and background shapes your practices and commitments as a supervisor, instructor, and mentor.
Applicants should also submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae and names of three references. Applicants progressing to initial interviews will be requested at that time to submit three letters of recommendation with relatively short notice. Questions can be directed to the search chair, Dr. Tracey Rogers, at Tracey.Rogers@umb.edu. Review of applications will begin January 15, 2025 and continue until the position is filled.

Additional Information the Department and Program
Accredited by the American Psychological Association, the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Program adopts a scientist-practitioner-activist program model. Our program prepares clinical psychologists with an excellent foundation in psychological science to translate basic knowledge into practical applications to meet the mental health needs of children, adolescents, and adults from diverse sociocultural groups. Graduates of the program have the requisite skills to advance understanding of key human problems through research, scholarly activities, clinical practice, teaching, professional service and leadership, advocacy, and activism. We locate the scientist-practitioner model within a socio-cultural context, bringing to the study and practice of clinical psychology an understanding of social justice, equity, oppression, systems of privilege and marginalization, procedural and relational justice, and epistemological and methodological marginalization.
UMass Boston is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, we will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations for the hiring process. If reasonable accommodation is needed, please contact HRDirect@umb.edu or 617-287-5150.

The second-largest campus in the UMass system, UMass Boston combines a small-college experience with the vast resources of a major research university. With a 16:1 student-to-faculty ratio, students easily interact with professors because most teaching occurs in small class sizes. Ninety-three percent of full-time faculty hold the highest degree in their fields.
UMass Boston’s academic excellence is reflected by a growing student body of nearly 16,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The university’s eight colleges offer more than 100 undergraduate programs and 50 graduate programs. The University Honors Program serves 300 students who thrive on intellectual challenge. Enriched courses probe more deeply into theory or venture further into application.
UMass Boston’s diverse student body provides a global context for student learning, and its location in a major U.S. city provides connections to employers in industries such as finance, health care, technology, service, and education, offering students opportunities to gain valuable in-school experience via internships, clinicals, and other career-related placements.

Students live throughout Greater Boston and in apartment communities just steps from the campus, and enjoy the rich amenities, cultural attractions, and educational opportunities that make the city the biggest and best college town in the nation.
