Description

The Department of Psychology at Hofstra University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor beginning September 1, 2026.

We welcome applications from candidates who are strongly committed to excellence in teaching and have demonstrated teaching effectiveness at the graduate level. The candidate must be able to teach introductory and advanced courses in statistics. This position requires clinical supervision of doctoral students in our on-site training clinic and thus NY State Licensure is required.

In addition, we are seeking individuals with clinical and research interests in Clinical Psychology including but not limited to psychopathology, psychotherapy, and assessment. We are particularly interested in individuals whose clinical and research interests will complement existing faculty expertise and deepen course offerings within the Psychology Department.

The primary responsibility of this position will be participating as a core faculty member in our APA-accredited PhD program in Clinical Psychology. In addition to the responsibilities noted above, the candidate will eventually participate in “administrative roles” within the program such as Director of Clinical Training or Director of externship or internship placement. Participation in departmental, college and university activities is also expected.

There are a variety of collaborative research resources available to psychology faculty on and off campus. A qualified candidate may have shared access to the department’s new neurophysiology lab, which houses a B-Alert X24 20-channel mobile EEG system, BIOPAC functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system and BIOPAC equipment for measurement of skin conductance and heart rate variability. Faculty can also request access to the Behavioral Research in Business Lab, which includes 27 workstations with cameras, audio/voice equipment, eye-tracking capabilities, and a variety of other biometric options. Hofstra faculty also have strong collaborations with the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and the broader Northwell Health system on Long Island, with the potential for a new faculty member to receive cross-appointment and access to healthcare settings as appropriate to their research.

Hofstra University is located on Long Island in close proximity to New York City (25 miles east of Manhattan), with its wealth of business, entertainment, and cultural opportunities.
