About the Faculty and School

The Faculty of Social Sciences comprises nine departments, schools, and institutes, which offer undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programs in both English and French. With its 10,000 students, 260 full-time professors, and wide array of programs, the Faculty of Social Sciences plays a key role at the heart of the University of Ottawa. Its graduate students are supervised by excellent researchers and undertake cutting-edge research in the Faculty’s master’s and Ph.D. programs.

The School of Psychology promotes research and training excellence. Our professors lead major laboratories, research centres, and institutes. The School of Psychology comprises a strong undergraduate program and outstanding graduate programs in Psychology and Clinical Psychology. All programs are offered in French and/or English.

Along with our commitment to French-English bilingualism at the University of Ottawa and uOttawa’s aspiration of being a vibrant Franco-Ontarian and Franco-Canadian community, the School of Psychology is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and anti-oppressive practices in research, teaching, clinical training, governance, and service. We recognize that systemic barriers have prevented many qualified people of colour, Indigenous Peoples, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, and members of other marginalized communities from fully participating in academia. We are seeking to increase the diversity of the School of Psychology and to strengthen our capacity to serve and represent the Ottawa region, Canada, and the broader communities with whom we work.

Description of the positions

The School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa is accepting applications for three (3) tenure-track positions at the rank of Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology. These open-area positions are part of an exciting moment of growth and innovation within the Clinical Psychology program and align with the University of Ottawa’s broader revitalization mandate. We seek colleagues who will contribute to high-quality undergraduate and graduate teaching, provide clinical training and supervision, attract high-quality and diverse graduate students, and play an active role in shaping the next phase of our CPA-accredited Clinical Psychology program, along with developing strong and innovative research programs that complement and extend the School’s existing strengths.

We are especially interested in candidates whose clinical expertise, research, teaching, clinical and research supervision, and service will contribute to an exciting period of innovation and positive momentum in clinical psychology, including opportunities to advance curriculum development, clinical training innovation, accreditation leadership, anti-racist and anti-oppressive pedagogy and supervision, community engagement, and program evaluation. The successful candidates will be expected to work collaboratively with current faculty, students, staff, and community partners to strengthen the Clinical Psychology program and advance the School’s commitments to equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and social accountability.

Although the positions are open in terms of research area, the School will prioritize candidates that complement existing strengths and emerging needs in the Clinical Psychology program, in the context of uOttawa’s Transformation 2030 plan, which includes a focus on Mental Health and Just Societies. Specifically, the School is particularly interested in welcoming Indigenous Psychologists and Scholars to our Clinical Psychology program. All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply; priority in selection will be given to candidates who identify as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit (FNMI). Applicants are invited to identify as First Nations, Métis, and/or Inuit in their cover letter by highlighting their lived experiences, connections to community, and research praxis. Shortlisted candidates will be required to submit documentation according to the university's Policy 135 for FNMI membership/citizenship verification for all appointments, awards, and funding opportunities for faculty, staff, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows prior to interviewing. Other potential priorities include the expertise to contribute to teaching and clinical training related to child, adolescent, couples, and family psychology, community-clinical psychology, Indigenous interculturalism, program development and evaluation, teaching, and learning, evidence-based interventions, and health, mental health, and social disparities.

Duties

• Contribute to an exciting period of innovation and development in the Clinical Psychology program, including curriculum renewal, accreditation-related leadership, program evaluation, and anti-racist and anti-oppressive training practices.

• Teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, consistent with the needs of the School of Psychology and the Clinical Psychology program.

• Provide clinical supervision of graduate students at our in-house training clinic, consistent with the successful candidate’s clinical expertise and registration eligibility.

• Develop and maintain an active, innovative, and externally fundable research program

• Supervise graduate students and their research, including students from Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, disability, and other marginalized or underserved communities, in a culturally-sensitive manner.

• Participate in the University’s academic and administrative activities.

• Carry out other activities as specified in the collective agreement.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, preferably including a CPA- or APA-approved internship.

• Recognizing the impacts of colonialism, including barriers related to access to education while remaining within Indigenous communities, as per the APUO Collective Agreement, a Master’s degree in clinical psychology as well as substantial research experience may be considered equivalent to a doctorate for candidates who identify as First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.

• Candidates who are close to completing a Ph.D. may be considered

• Registered or eligible to register with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario.

• Demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching, clinical training, and supervision.

• Strong publication and research track record, appropriate to career stage and area of expertise.

• Demonstrated commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and anti-oppressive practices in research, teaching, clinical training, supervision, and/or service.

• Demonstrated experience working with people from racialized and other marginalized or underserved groups as research participants, students, trainees, clients, community partners, or knowledge users.
