The Department of Psychology at the Munroe Meyer Institute for Genetics and Rehabilitation is recruiting a Ph.D. or PsyD. in Clinical or School Psychology. The department is a collegial group of clinical educators and clinical researchers who seek to incorporate training and research activities into clinical service delivery within a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary center. MMI recently moved into a brand new, state-of-the-art facility and has prioritize expansion of innovative clinical and educational programs serving those with a wide range of physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral disabilities.
Clinical activities center on delivery of behavioral health assessment, diagnostic and treatment services for neurotypical individuals (especially children, adolescents and families) as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the lifespan. Referrals come from schools, physicians, and community agencies throughout the region. Faculty may choose to focus their clinical services, training and research in 1) outpatient BH clinics at MMI, 2) integrated primary care sites across the Omaha metro area, or 3) school-based mental health clinics in the surrounding community.
All faculty members at MMI play an important role in education and provide clinical supervision in a large, well-funded internship program within the APA accredited Nebraska Internship Consortium and in a growing postdoctoral fellowship program. The department is also home to the Mid-America Mental Health Technology Transfer Center, which is a federally funded collaborative network that supports resource development and dissemination, training and technical assistance, and workforce development to the mental health field. We are a decidedly behavioral program by orientation, but are open to applications of diverse, yet aligned theoretical orientations. Some faculty in MMI Psychology teach courses in our ABA Masters degree program which prepares graduates for licensure as a mental health practitioner and also certification as a BCBA. Licensure (or license eligible) in Nebraska is required, while board certification (particularly BCBA) is also valued. Faculty members are encouraged to develop and participate in clinical research. Specific areas of research interest are less important than fit within our mission.
Candidates with a clinical internship from APA/CPA-accredited programs in psychology are preferred. Salary and benefits are competitive. The Institute invites and strongly encourages applications from members of ethnic and racial minorities. Omaha is a growing metropolitan area of over 900,000 with a vibrant arts community, low cost of living and excellent schools. Review of applicants will begin Jan 1 and will continue until the position is filled. Rank will depend on qualifications.
