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 Depression Recovery Center. Area of specialization is open,
and while we are particularly interested in those with clinical and/or research expertise in
depression and mood disorders, we welcome applicants that build on existing strengths (e.g.,
cognitive-behavioral approaches, mindfulness-based treatments). 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.

Duties and Responsibilities
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 treatment of depression and other mood disorders, 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. 

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 mood disorders will be given preference.
