Professor Clinical Psychology and Digital Psychotherapy 100%

University of Basel ranks among the world’s one hundred best universities and boast a top-ten place among German-speaking universities.

The Faculty of Psychology at the University of Basel is seeking to fill a professorship (associate or full) in clinical psychology and digital psychotherapy from the fall semester 2027, or by mutual agreement.

You will conduct outstanding research in the fields of clinical psychology and psychotherapy, with a particular focus on digital intervention approaches for children, adolescents, and/or adults. In particular, you will research and develop innovative approaches to the use of digital technologies in psychotherapeutic care, such as smartphone-based applications, the use of artificial intelligence, or virtual reality, in the context of psychotherapeutic procedures. Research into such approaches is carried out, among other aspects, with a view to their effectiveness, acceptance, and integration into the wider healthcare system.

Through your research, you will establish an evidence-based foundation for modern, high-quality psychotherapy and contribute to the development of low-threshold, scalable, and personalized services. Interdisciplinary links within the faculty and the university are encouraged. You will make a significant contribution to raising the profile of the faculty's key research areas through your research, publications, and the acquisition of third-party funding.

You will offer eight semester hours of teaching per week on the bachelor and master programs. Through lectures, seminars, and student theses, you will strengthen the undergraduate program in clinical psychology, as well as the applied program in the field of face-to-face and digital psychotherapy approaches.

We are seeking a candidate to establish psychological research and teaching in clinical psychology and digital psychotherapy in Basel. University degrees in psychology at master and PhD level are essential requirements for a successful application.

You should have an outstanding track record of international publications as first or last author and have successfully conducted research into digital intervention approaches within the field of clinical psychology and psychotherapy. A proven track record as a principal investigator in securing competitive third-party funding is required, as is either completed psychotherapy training (evidenced by Swiss accreditation and/or an equivalent qualification) or well-advanced psychotherapy training, in the field of either child and adolescent psychotherapy or adult psychotherapy.

You have successfully taught university courses at bachelor and/or master level, supervised theses, and can demonstrate experience in supervising early career researchers, including the independent and successful supervision of PhD projects. The professorship is intended to open up access to an attractive and modern professional field for students and graduates. To this end, proficiency in German language at least to C1 level is expected within two years of taking up the position.

Candidates are expected to be willing and qualified to play an active role and take on leadership responsibilities within the academic self-governing bodies shortly after their appointment, as well as to work cooperatively within the Faculty of Psychology and the University of Basel.

The position will be filled as an associate professorship or full professorship and includes an attractive allocation of personnel resources. The Faculty of Psychology offers an attractive research environment with modern IT infrastructure and the opportunity to engage in continuing education and public service. The University of Basel stands for excellence through diversity and is committed to equal opportunities and a family-friendly environment.
