Position Description
The Department of Psychology at Harvard University seeks to appoint a tenure-track professor in Clinical Psychology. The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2027. The tenure-track professor will be responsible for teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and for mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.

We seek candidates with expertise in clinical psychological science, broadly conceived. Our interest is less in specific topic areas or methods than in innovation and excellence in the applicant’s research program. Successful candidates might employ data science (including ML/AI, computational modeling, and related approaches), cognitive neuroscience, genetic, or cross-cultural work, among other approaches. We seek candidates whose scholarship complements existing research in the Department.
Basic Qualifications
Doctorate or terminal degree required by the time the appointment begins. Candidates should have demonstrated a promise of excellence in both research and teaching.
Additional Qualifications
Demonstrated strong commitment to teaching and advising is desired.

Please submit the following materials through the ARIeS Portal. Candidates are encouraged to apply by September 15, 2026.

  1. Cover letter
  2. Curriculum Vitae
  3. Teaching/advising statement (describing the candidate’s teaching philosophy and practices as well as their approach to creating a learning environment in which students are encouraged to ask questions and share their ideas)
  4. Research statement
  5. Service statement describing efforts to strengthen academic communities, e.g., the candidate’s department, institution, and/or professional societies.
  6. Sample publications (up to 3)
  7. Names and contact information of 3-5 referees, who will be asked by a system-generated email to upload a letter of recommendation once the candidate’s application has been submitted. Three letters of recommendation are required, and the application is considered complete only when at least three letters have been received.
