The Ohio State University College of Medicine and the Wexner Medical Center seek a clinical psychologist to join the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health. Academic rank and track commensurate with academic record and experience.

POSITION OVERVIEW

At OSUWMC, we are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. We are interested in candidates that complement our current strengths and support our clinical mission. We seek to hire faculty to help build our Suicide and Trauma Reduction Initiative (STRIVE). Area of specialization is open, and while we are particularly interested in those with clinical and/or research expertise in suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and related conditions, we welcome applicants that build on existing strengths (e.g., cognitive-behavioral approaches). The successful candidate will work within our interdisciplinary program in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health. The psychologist directs or provides care in a manner consistent with the privileges granted them by the governing body of University Hospitals and as approved by the University Board of Trustees.

REQUIREMENTS

Doctoral Degree in Psychology. Licensed or license-eligible in the state of Ohio. Applicants must be from an APA- or CPA-accredited clinical or counseling psychology doctoral program (with an accredited clinical internship), at least one year of relevant post-doctoral experience, and be licensed in Ohio by the time of appointment. The psychologist must be competent in technical clinical skills and must possess the cognitive and interpersonal skills required to serve those patients receiving the above-mentioned services. Candidates with previous training or experience working with patients with suicide and trauma-related disorders will be given preference.

Faculty responsibilities are consistent with our tripartite mission – patient care, education, and clinical research. The psychologist will join a multidisciplinary team serving patients referred for reporting recent suicidal ideation, suicidal behaviors, and stressor-related disorders including posttraumatic stress disorder, providing clinical evaluation and assessment, as well as individual and/or group psychotherapy. This requires thorough knowledge of the DSM-5 and mental health diagnoses within the ICD-10. The individual selected for this position will have ample opportunities to contribute to training, research, and other scholarly pursuits. Other duties include but are not limited to representing the program or Department by participating in committees, conferences, and representing OSU at professional meetings and community speaking engagements. The psychologist is expected to practice within the established Medical Center and standards of practice (policies, procedures, protocols), and adhere to key results areas of the Medical Center.
