Position Summary
Michigan State University actively promotes a dynamic research and learning environment in which qualified individuals of differing perspectives, and cultural backgrounds pursue academic goals with mutual respect and shared inquiry. Situated within the College of Social Science, the Department of Human Development and Family Studies is known for excellence in prevention and intervention science, research to address mental health disparities, and community-engaged scholarship.

The Couple and Family Therapy Doctoral Program was first established in 1985 and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education. We seek a scholar whose program of research focuses on improving access, quality, or delivery of couple and/or family interventions with the potential to reduce mental health disparities. This individual would join an existing faculty with a strong history of engaging in collaborative, federally-funded clinical research that aims to improve the lives of couples and families from diverse social locations. Ideally this scholar would bring expertise that will complement and enhance our existing strengths related to empirically supported interventions, community-engaged research, and underserved and minoritized populations. We welcome applicants with a research focus relevant to the broad field of clinical research, including prevention, treatment, dissemination, implementation, and/or process research.

A successful candidate will evidence a strong publication trajectory and demonstrate potential to secure extramural funding to support their program of research. Ideally the candidate will have a record of peer-reviewed publications relevant to clinical research. In addition to sustaining an active program of scholarship, this faculty will be responsible for teaching and mentoring graduate/undergraduate students, providing clinical supervision, and participating in department, college, and university governance activities. We are particularly interested in candidates who can provide evidence of their commitment to promoting diversity through their research, teaching, mentoring, and service.
