Position Description

Position Description

The Department of Psychology at Seattle University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position from candidates with a familiarity and appreciation of Humanistic and/or Existential-Phenomenological Clinical Psychology beginning August, 2027.

The Master of Arts in Psychology (MAP) program seeks candidates with experience in clinical teaching, mentorship, and practice, and a demonstrated commitment to work with diverse and/or underserved communities. Candidates should possess knowledge and skills in critical psychology and humanistic theory and practice. Ideally, the candidate has research or scholarly interests in multicultural psychology and therapy in diverse social contexts and/or community-based engagement and programming in mental health care.

The responsibilities of the position will include teaching in Seattle University’s clinically focused graduate psychology program and some teaching in its undergraduate psychology program. The new faculty member will be expected to advance a program of ongoing research and scholarship. They will provide service to the graduate program, department, college, and university. They will assist with the graduate program’s admissions process, with student advising and mentorship, and curriculum development and assessment. The candidate will also have the opportunity to develop classes and teach in their areas of interest and specialization.

The Master of Arts in Psychology (MAP) program is grounded in phenomenological and human sciences approaches to clinical training. The broader Psychology Department embraces a variety of theoretical perspectives, including human science, natural science, and social scientific approaches to understanding human experience. We strongly value dialogue, collegiality, and collaboration across these perspectives, as well as across disciplines of the social sciences and humanities.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
