Position description

The Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology (CCSP) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, seeks applicants for a tenure-track Assistant or tenured Associate Professor position with expertise in addressing mental health disparities among Black, African American communities to begin July 1, 2023.

We seek applicants who focus on prevention, intervention, or implementation science in African American communities. Applicants may focus on racial trauma, intergenerational trauma, gendered racism, colorism, the promotion of radical wellness and healing, community-based healing, or racial justice as some examples. This position extends CCSP’s tradition of excellence in research and service with historically minoritized groups, including people of color, immigrants, sexual and gender minorities, and other communities. This position reflects national and local demands for professional psychologists considering and responding to racial trauma and mental health disparities. This faculty member will join CCSP faculty to provide leadership for the Healing Space located in CCSP’s Hosford Clinic. The Healing Space provides racially-informed mental health services for Black community members impacted by racial trauma. This faculty member will have opportunities to collaborate with the Center for Black Studies Research and to strengthen CCSP’s tradition of training graduate and undergraduate students of color.

The Department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service. Responsibilities include (a) research and grant-writing, (b) graduate and undergraduate teaching, (c) clinical supervision, (d) doctoral student advising, and (e) university and public service.

The Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology is home to a vibrant faculty of productive scholars and educators. We are home to two doctoral degrees accredited by the American Psychological Association: School Psychology and Counseling/Clinical Psychology, a master’s degree program in School Psychology, and the largest undergraduate minor on campus. Our mission is to generate and disseminate knowledge, provide expertise, and prepare the next generation of diverse scholars in applied psychology. We strive to be recognized for excellence and innovation in research that fosters the psychological well-being and social equity of all people, especially historically minoritized populations.

The Gevirtz School is a diverse institution in a diverse community in a richly diverse state. The School is part of UC Santa Barbara, one of only 62 members of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the first AAU member to attain the status of Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). As a public flagship institution, the Gevirtz School at UCSB is deeply committed to centering diversity in our work. In addition to finding faculty who bring scholarly expertise in the areas that are described above, we seek to ensure that successful candidates engage in scholarship, teaching, and service that will help us work with the diverse populations in our region, state, and nation to achieve the goals of educational and mental health equity.
