We are particularly interested in candidates whose research focuses integratively on mental and/or physical health equity, and particularly in one or more of these areas: (1) Health psychology, which examines the role of behavioral and psychosocial factors in health outcomes; (2) Implementation science, which translates evidence-based approaches from clinical trials into real-world contexts, especially in areas of high need; and/or (3) Person- and community-centered intervention development, which integrates patient and community perspectives into treatment design.
Successful candidates will have a proven track record of impactful research in Clinical Psychology, a potential to secure external funding, and a capacity to contribute to teaching and student success at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. UIC is an urban research university and a federally-designated Minority-Serving Institution. As such, applicants should be committed to advancing diversity and equity in the classroom, research laboratory, and beyond.
