The Psychology Department at Wichita State University seeks to hire a tenure-track, Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology to begin Fall 2023. We welcome applications from individuals with a cognitive-behavioral orientation as broadly-defined.

The department is particularly interested in applicants who work with diverse populations and underrepresented groups. Applicants should be graduates of an APA- accredited program in clinical psychology, licensed (or licensed-eligible) as a psychologist in the state of Kansas, and have a strong record of peer-reviewed publications. The clinical psychology program at Wichita State is fully-accredited by the American Psychological Association and embraces a scientist–practitioner model, within a clinical–community framework. The department has three Ph.D. programs in clinical, community, and human factors psychology, as well as a large undergraduate student body. The department is research oriented and has an expectation for faculty to seek external funding. Wichita State University is located in Kansas’s largest city and major industrial metropolitan area, with a population of over 750,000. Wichita has a vibrant and growing community, with a diverse school district yet with a modest cost of living and a thriving downtown. Wichita State also has an in-house clinical psychology training clinic that serves the greater Wichita area. Wichita State University encourages applications from applicants with diverse backgrounds and from underrepresented populations.
