Position Summary:

We are hiring multiple Department Faculty for our Dallas Clinical Psychology program. The individuals who fill this position will teach either

While program faculty members are fundamentally responsible for teaching in accordance with The Chicago School's workload policy, adjustments to an individual's teaching load may be made by the Department Chair based on program needs first and individual talents and abilities second. Faculty members are recommended to the Vice President of Academic Affairs for hire by the Department Chair.
