Assistant Professor (Psychology)

Tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at UMass Boston, beginning 1 September 2027, with a developmental focus (child, adolescent or family systems) and an emphasis on Black/African American communities, including Black immigrant communities in the United States. The faculty member teaches and mentors students in the undergraduate psychology major and in the clinical psychology doctoral programme, which follows a scientist-practitioner-activist training model, typically on a 2-2 load; the department is secondarily interested in the ability to teach a graduate assessment course.

Graduate teaching may include child therapy, family therapy, foundations of social justice in clinical psychology and research methods, and undergraduate teaching may include development, adolescence, psychology and the Black experience, and psychology and social justice. Approximate salary range $80,000–$91,740.

PhD in clinical psychology or a closely related field by 31 August 2027, with evidence of excellence or potential for excellence in research and teaching; preference for licensed or license-eligible applicants with doctorates in clinical psychology or related licensable fields (counselling, school psychology). Submit a letter of interest, CV, research and teaching statements, (p)reprints and three references. Initial review began on 15 September 2026 and continues until the position is filled.
