Job description

Job Summary:

We seek a candidate to contribute to clinical training for students in our APA-accredited PhD program in counseling psychology and our MPCAC-accredited M.S. program in counseling. The ideal candidate will have expertise in clinical service provision and clinical supervision, demonstrated competence in working with diverse populations, experience teaching clinical training courses, and administrative skills to oversee training and professional development initiatives within the Counseling Psychology Training Clinic and Department of Counseling Psychology, including attending and presenting professional development seminars. Clinical research experiences and interests are desired but not required.

Candidates will be able to contribute to departmental training emphasizing social justice orientations with competence to serve populations currently underserved for mental health and wellness in a broad range of settings, including but not limited to populations that differ by culture, race, language, gender, sexual identity, and social class.

Responsibilities:

Duties include contributions to the CPTC and Department of Counseling Psychology and may vary depending upon department needs.
45% CPTC: clinical supervision provision, serving as the on site licensed psychologist, working closely with the CPTC Director; developing community partnerships to enhance clinical training; assisting the CPTC to maintain ethical and legal standards of care.
37.5% Teaching: department teaching (i.e., teaching the equivalent of three courses each academic year).
17.5% CPTC & Department Training & Professional Development: planning and facilitating training and professional development initiatives within the CPTC and department, serving on a departmental training committee (MS or PhD), serving on MS and PhD student examining committees.

The Department of Counseling Psychology offers the master's degree (M.S.) in counseling and the doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in counseling psychology. The department is also a contributor (along with Rehabilitation Psychology and Kinesiology) to the collaborative, cross-departmental undergraduate major in Health Promotion and Health Equity.

The department's master's and doctoral programs are intended to provide a closely- integrated didactic experiential curriculum for the preparation of counseling professionals. The doctoral degree consistent with the APA's scientist-practitioner model of training, emphasizes the integration of counseling and psychological theory and practice with substantive development of research skills in the domains encompassed by counseling psychology. The department emphasizes the integration of multiculturalism, diversity, and social justice considerations into counseling psychology and is committed to multiculturalism broadly defined in teaching, research, and practice. Current department faculty have scholarly expertise in the following areas: psychotherapy processes and outcomes, educational and vocational development, community-based interventions, child development, mindfulness, and research methods with particular attention to multicultural issues (e.g., ethnic identity development and experiences, underrepresented college students, LGBTQ issues, social class, and homelessness).

The Department of Counseling Psychology's Counseling Psychology Training Clinic (CPTC) offers psychological services to UW-Madison students and Dane County residents. The clinic serves a diverse clientele for individual, couple, and group therapy services and provides direct mental health support and outreach to underrepresented students through an innovative community support partnership with the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Educational Achievement (DDEEA), funded by University Health Services at UW-Madison.
