Job description

Colby-Sawyer College is looking for a new colleague to join the School of Business and Social Sciences. We seek an innovative, energetic educator in Counseling or Clinical Psychology. Ideally, the candidate will teach a range of courses from introductory and foundational to upper-level electives.

This is a 9-month, full-time, tenure-track (TT) position (with a terminal degree) or 9-month full-time non-TT position (without a terminal degree) that begins in late August 2026.

Although a doctoral degree in psychology (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) is preferred, professionally licensed candidates with a master’s degree and applied experience (i.e., clinical/counseling/therapist), or candidates with “all but dissertation” (ABD) are encouraged to apply. Considering the importance of clinical skills, we will encourage faculty to maintain some clinical practice in addition to teaching and service at the college.

Responsibilities

This position includes teaching, advising, service responsibilities, and ongoing scholarship and creative work in alignment with the criteria in the Colby-Sawyer College Faculty Handbook. Full-time faculty are expected to contribute to the college’s liberal education program.

Requirements

• Demonstrate and possess a strong record of collegiate teaching.
• A philosophy of education consistent with Colby-Sawyer’s programs and mission are required.
• Ability to develop and maintain collaborative relationships with colleagues related to curricular initiatives, teaching responsibilities and student support.

How to apply

In addition to your current CV and letter of application/cover letter, please upload a statement of teaching philosophy along with sample syllabi and teaching evaluations, if available.

Priority will be given to complete applications received by February 15, 2026. Review of applications will begin February 16, 2026, and continue until the position is filled.

Colby-Sawyer College is committed to maintaining a diverse workforce and an inclusive work environment which celebrates multiple perspectives. Under institutional policy, as well as under state and federal law (including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Age Discrimination Act), Colby-Sawyer College does not discriminate in its hiring or employment practices or its admission practices on the basis of race or ethnicity; color; national origin; religion; age; mental or physical disability; parental, family or marital status; veteran status; or sex (including pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, genetic information, gender identity or gender expression). Further, Colby-Sawyer College prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that it operates.

The college recognizes that harassment related to an individual’s sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression can occur in conjunction with misconduct related to an individual’s race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, or disability. Targeting individuals on the basis of these characteristics is also a violation of the college policy. Under these circumstances, the college will coordinate the investigation and resolution efforts outlined in the college’s Sex-based Discrimination and Sex-based Harassment Policy and Grievance Procedures as well as the Code of Community Responsibility (for students) and Employee Handbook (for employees), to address harassment related to the targeted individual’s sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression together with the conduct related to the targeted individual’s race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age or disability.
