The Department of Psychology at Montclair State University invites applications for a ten-month Clinical Specialist teaching position in its NASP-recognized School Psychology Program (SPP) to begin September 1, 2021. Clinical Specialist is a full-time, non-tenure track position without academic rank.  We seek a dynamic, field-experienced colleague to join our School Psychology Program and contribute to our specialist-level (MA + Cert) SPP.

It also will involve coordinating and monitoring practicum experiences for first and second-year students. Program development/evaluation and student advisement are also expected components of this position.

Montclair State University is a public doctoral research university (R2) located approximately 30 minutes from New York City.

Under university-based clinical supervision at the PSC, graduate students in school psychology evaluate clientele (ages 2-adult) to establish cognitive, academic, behavioral, social/emotional levels of functioning. Our students liaise with families, schools, and caregivers to develop evidence-based reports and recommendations for academic planning and special education eligibility considerations.
