Job description

Description
New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Clinical/Counseling Psychology Program to begin September 1, 2025.

The appointed faculty member will be a member of the Department of Applied Psychology. The Clinical/Counseling Psychology Program operates from a scientist-practitioner model and integrates models traditionally associated with clinical psychology and counseling psychology, which together equip students to be multi-faceted and culturally informed psychologists who are prepared for both research and clinical-practice careers. The successful applicant will join a group of psychologists who focus on a diverse set of research areas and utilize various methods and approaches to address important issues in the field of clinical and counseling psychology. We seek applicants whose research explores issues within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ) population(s) in the U.S. or other parts of the world, and whose research, mentorship, teaching, and service reflects a commitment to equity, belonging, and justice.

Successful applicants will join the vibrant department of Applied Psychology, which includes (a) a large and active undergraduate program with research, theory, and action among its core pillars, (b) two MA degree-granting programs in Counseling for Mental Health & Wellness and Human Development Research & Policy; and (c) three PhD programs that enroll fully funded doctoral students (5 years of fellowship) in Developmental Psychology, Clinical/Counseling Psychology, and Psychology & Social Intervention. The department has an excellent track record of procuring extramural funding for research and training, supporting collaborative and transdisciplinary scholarship, and a commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging.

NYU Steinhardt is a uniquely interdisciplinary school, committed to a holistic understanding of people and human development across the lifespan. NYU Steinhardt has one-of-a-kind integration of education, communication, health, and the arts, with eleven departments, seventeen research centers and institutes, nearly 300 full-time faculty, and close to six thousand students. We are committed to substantially increasing the proportion of our faculty from historically underrepresented groups as we strive to create the most intellectually diverse, inclusive, and equitable institution that we can.

Responsibilities: The successful candidate is expected to engage in strong programmatic research; disseminate cutting-edge science; pursue and obtain grant funding; teach and advise undergraduate and graduate students; and provide service to the Program, Department, School, and University.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $80,000 – $120,000. This pay range represents base pay only (for 9 months) and excludes any additional items such as incentives, bonuses, clinical compensation, or other items. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.

Qualifications: In addition to a demonstrated commitment to scholarship and teaching, applicants must have a PhD in Psychology or a related discipline. Priority will be given to those with a doctorate from an APA-approved program in Clinical or Counseling Psychology. The successful candidate will demonstrate evidence of strong scholarly productivity, including an active agenda of research and publication, the ability to secure and maintain external funding to support their research program, and the ability to meaningfully contribute to undergraduate and graduate training programs.

Application Instructions: Applicants should apply online via Interfolio. Candidates should upload: (a) cover letter providing short summary of experience and accomplishments, (b) curriculum vita, (c) three representative scholarly publications, (d) research statement (2-3 pages), (e) teaching statement (1-2 pages), (f) diversity statement (1-2 pages), and (g) the names and contact information for three referees (letters will be requested for short-listed candidates).
