Marywood University invites applications for the position of Director of Clinical Training (DCT) within the Department of Psychology and Counseling. This is a 12-month clinical core faculty appointment with a renewable three-year administrative term, appointed by Marywood’s Chief Academic Officer. Reporting to the Dean of the College of Health Sciences, the DCT serves as the primary administrator for the PsyD program, balancing administrative leadership with teaching, scholarship, and service.

The role offers the chance to mentor future psychologists across a five-year trajectory, from their first classes through their dissertation defense.

• Monitor student development and, when necessary, develop and oversee Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) to support student remediation. 
• Maintain student data, ensuring accurate tracking of alumni licensure, employment, and distal outcomes for future selfstudies. 
• Advise students regarding grievance processes and respond to student concerns in a timely, developmental manner.

• Collaborate with the Office of Admissions to represent the program at Open Houses and recruitment events. 
• Oversee the onboarding of new cohorts, including the assignment of advisors and the facilitation of orientation. Curriculum & Faculty Support 
• Develop and manage the annual curriculum plan, ensuring course coverage, minimum enrollment requirements, and the appropriate scheduling of special topics seminars. 
• Support the hiring and onboarding of adjunct faculty, including the collection of CVs and provision of syllabi.
• Serve as a core faculty member, engaging in teaching (at a reduced load), supervising dissertations, serving on Qualifying Clinical Examination and dissertation committees, and writing letters of recommendation for internship and licensure applicants.

Internship & Licensure Support

• Review and certify student readiness for internship application (AAPI); verify clinical hours and provide DCT verification letters.

• Prior leadership experience running a PhD or PsyD in Clinical Psychology academic program.

• While the area of scholarship is open, research and clinical expertise in evidence-based psychotherapy—particularly CBT and/or Third Wave CBT—is highly desired to complement existing faculty interests. 
• Has a theoretical orientation consistent with Marywood’s program.
