Department of Psychology, Southern Methodist University
The Department of Psychology at Southern Methodist University is inviting applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Psychological Clinical Science, to begin in August 2025. This position is part of a larger, university-wide cluster hire in Data Science. We are seeking candidates with a program of research in a substantive area of clinical science that also contributes to the Data Science cluster. Substantive research areas of interest include, but are not limited to: (1) mechanisms, etiology, measurement, prevention, and/or treatment of psychopathology; (2) psychological aspects of physical health; (3) risk or resiliency factors; and (4) impact of societal problems (e.g., violence, racism, discrimination) on mental and/or physical health. Examples of methodologies and data analytic approaches with significant potential to enhance SMU’s capacity in Data Science include, but are not limited to: (1) computational modeling and machine learning applications; (2) high-speed computing for analysis of large datasets (e.g., neuroimaging or diagnostic data); (3) intensive mobile data collection and data sensing (e.g., geolocation, smartphone usage); and (4) use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for assessment or intervention. Applicants with advanced quantitative skills are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants with a Ph.D. in any area of psychology will be considered; however, preference will be given to applicants with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.
To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by October 8, 2024; however, the committee will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
