This is a 1-year limited term Instructor position (with the potential for renewal for one or two additional years) in our CPA Accredited Clinical Psychology Program within the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Dalhousie University beginning July 1, 2023. Candidates must have a PhD in Psychology and a CPA or an APA accredited internship, and should be fully registered (for independent practice) in the province of Nova Scotia or be eligible for registration. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated teaching excellence and experience in a variety of graduate psychology courses and should have clinical experience with assessment and intervention, preferably across the lifespan.
The candidate will primarily teach psychology courses at the graduate level, with some possibility of teaching at the undergraduate level (depending on applicant qualifications). Teaching responsibilities will include supervision of PhD students who are engaging in intervention and assessment with adult clients at the Dalhousie Social Work Community Clinic. This clinic serves marginalized populations and is an interprofessional model of teaching and service. The position requires the applicant to be physically present in Halifax for various duties, though some components of teaching may also be handled online. The preferred online learning management system at Dalhousie is Brightspace.
Research is not a required component of this position. However, in keeping with the nature of the Psychology and Neuroscience Department, we will support the successful applicant in developing or continuing to develop their research program, if desired.
Dalhousie University (www.dal.ca) is located in the vibrant ocean-side city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, which offers an excellent quality of life, including active local food, arts, and music scenes, easy access to outdoor activities, and high-quality health and education centres.

Students are focused on research from the beginning of the program. Students also start applied training in their first year and continue throughout the program. Due to our emphasis on the science of psychology, our program produces clinical psychologists who blend the ideals of research and service.
Review of applications will begin May 22, 2023 and continue until the position is filled.
