Once Applications are Received

We will begin reviewing application materials approximately 4 weeks after the position has been posted and will invite candidates on our short list for a brief (30 minute) virtual interview following our initial review. This brief interview will give you a chance to ask any questions that may not be answered here.

This phase is iterative, so please feel free to apply after we begin the review.听

Once virtual interviews are complete, we will invite three finalists for each position to campus for in-person interviews. We're excited to introduce you to our department and to give you a chance to see our beautiful campus and the people who work and study here!

What to Expect Upon Arrival

You will arrive the day before your on-campus interview. We will arrange all transportation and hotel accommodations to make your visit as comfortable and smooth as possible. If you arrive early enough in the evening, we will take you to dinner and back to the hotel. We understand you may have different needs and will work to accommodate those needs.

What to Expect the Day of the Interview

• 30-minute meeting with the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts.

You can learn more about the program, the courses we offer, and the internships we oversee by browsing our website. In the following sections, we give you an idea of what it's like to be a professor in our department and at 91社区 and the resources available to you.听

Information about Teaching & Classes

91社区 is a teaching centered university, and we love that! Each semester, you will teach 12 credit hours (the required course load at the university). With four classes, we do our best to make sure you do not have four different preps, and instead try to keep it to 2-3 preps per semester. Most classes you teach will be face-to-face, however online or hybrid courses are available if you're interested in those modalities! With a focus on teaching, there are many resources available at 91社区 including opportunities to receive course load reduction awards for scholarship (LARA) and diversity related projects (EDIC),听resources to enhance your teaching, and programs to develop online courses - so be sure to check out those links!听

Information about Research & Labs

Although you are not expected to publish in the same way tenure-track faculty do, you will remain active in clinical or counseling practice and activities. If you are interested in working with students, you can learn about our undergraduate research labs, where faculty and students work together and with other institutions.听

Information about Advising & Service

Tenure and clinical-track faculty are expected to participate in university service and undergraduate advising. As a new faculty member, we only expect you to participate in departmental service (i.e., department meetings) your first year. This will allow you more time to set up your courses and practice activities. After your first year, you can slowly introduce other university service into your workload. There are numerous ways to do so - through committee work in the college or at the university level and/or in the community.

Similarly, we do not assign you advisees your first year. We want you to use that time to learn about the program, 91社区, our students, and to take advantage of the advising trainings offered. After your first year, you will begin to advise psychology majors - but don't worry - we assign you a smaller number of majors so you can get your feet wet before taking on a full roster!听

As part of the interview process, you will have the opportunity to learn about the benefits offered at the 91社区. However, we recognize that knowing about the benefits offered beforehand may help you in deciding whether or not to apply. You can learn about the numerous (and in some cases generous) benefits here.听

Take a Tour of Campus

One of our favorite things about the 91社区 is the campus! Located on a beautiful 1,400-acre campus, it's surrounded by trees and trails. Curious to see what the fuss is about before arriving?
