Visiting Position in Clinical or Counseling Psychology
Bates College, Lewiston Maine
The Bates College Department of Psychology invites applications for a Visiting Assistant
Professor position in clinical/counseling psychology beginning August 2023. We seek a
candidate who can offer courses and conduct research in areas that address pressing social
issues or problems (e.g., environmental injustice, immigration, poverty, trauma, drug use
and abuse, adverse childhood events, physical and mental health disparities) and
resilience in the face of such problems. We are interested in attracting candidates who
share our commitment to the recruitment, retention, and mentoring of students from a wide
range of underrepresented and marginalized identities including those from diverse racial,
ethnic, and LGBTQAIP backgrounds. In addition, we seek candidates who can bring
interdisciplinary, intersectional, and social justice perspectives to their teaching and
research. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching
(typically 4-5 courses/year including labs) and supervision of undergraduate research.
The college’s mission statement celebrates “the transformative power of our differences.”
Accordingly, we believe that campus diversity contributes to student learning, and we
embrace our college’s aim to extend access to a Bates education to an ever wider range of
students. Candidates who can enhance the diversity of the faculty and/or contribute to
supporting an increasingly diverse student body are encouraged to apply. To learn more

diversity, equitable inclusion, and social justice. Applicants should also arrange for
