Position Summary

The Munroe-Meyer Institute ( MMI ) for Genetics and Rehabilitation at the University of Nebraska Medical Center ( UNMC ) in Omaha is currently accepting applications for a faculty position in the Department of Psychology (Rank DOQ ). Minimum requirements are a doctoral degree in Clinical or School Psychology. Applicant must have Nebraska licensure (or license eligible) while board certification (particularly BCBA ) is also valued. Candidates with a clinical internship from APA / CPA -accredited programs in psychology are preferred.

Clinical activities center on delivery of behavioral health assessment, diagnostic and treatment services for neurotypical individuals (especially children, adolescents and families) as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the lifespan. Referrals come from schools, physicians, and community agencies throughout the region. Faculty may choose to focus their clinical services, training and research in 1) outpatient BH clinics at MMI , 2) integrated primary care sites across the Omaha metro area, or 3) school-based mental health clinics in the surrounding community.

The department of Psychology at the MMI is a collegial group of clinical educators and researchers dedicated to integrating training and research within clinical service delivery in a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary setting. Department faculty play a vital role in education and training, providing clinical supervision through a large, well-funded internship program within the APA -accredited Nebraska Internship Consortium, as well as a growing postdoctoral fellowship program. While the department is grounded in a behavioral orientation, it welcomes applicants with diverse but complementary theoretical perspectives. Several faculty also teach in the Applied Behavior Analysis master’s degree program, which prepares graduates for licensure as mental health practitioners and certification as Board Certified Behavior Analysts. Faculty are encouraged to pursue clinical research that aligns with the department’s mission, with flexibility in specific areas of focus.
