Concordia University of Edmonton has an exciting new faculty position to build and lead a new Clinical Psychology program with prime clinic space in the new Allan Wachowich Center for Science and Research Innovation. Reporting to the Dean of Arts, the Director, Clinical Psychology, will initially work with the Psychology Department, CUE’s administration, and the Government of Alberta (Advanced Education), to finalize and secure the PsyD program approval. Upon receiving final approval, the Director’s role will involve responsibilities for PsyD course development, research training, comprehensive examinations, dissertation supervision, and teaching. CUE will seek full Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) accreditation for the program. The Director will also work in consultation with the PsyD program Advisory Council that includes internal and external members who will support the Director’s work.

As the ideal candidate, you have a PsyD or PhD in Clinical Psychology from a CPA or APA-accredited program or equivalent and University-level teaching experience in a clinical program, with more than five years of experience preferred; clinical supervision experience in assessment and intervention; and a demonstrated record of a strong research program, through scholarly publication, grant funding, and supervision of graduate students. You are in possession of, or eligible for, full registration as a Psychologist, in good standing, in a Canadian province or territory.
