Assistant Professor (Tenure-track) in Clinical Neuropsychology

The Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Simon Fraser University (SFU) invites applications for one tenure‐track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Clinical Neuropsychology to begin as early as July 15th, 2025.

The Clinical Neuropsychology Area

The longstanding clinical neuropsychology track is housed within the clinical psychology graduate program and adheres to a scientist-practitioner training model and the Houston Conference Training Guidelines. Our current neuropsychology faculty member’s teaching and research is focused on pediatric populations. We hope to expand the clinical neuropsychology track by welcoming a new faculty member with interest in teaching and research in adult and/or older adult populations.

Position Qualifications

We are looking for a candidate who can strengthen the capacity of the Clinical Neuropsychology area with respect to research; the teaching, training, and supervision of graduate and undergraduate students; and service at the university and in the broader academic community. To that end, the successful candidate will have the following qualifications:

· A doctoral degree in Psychology from a CPA- or APA-accredited institution at the time of appointment. Candidates with imminent completion of their PhD degree may be hired at the rank of Instructor and will be promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor upon completion of their PhD.
· Applicants are expected to have specialized training in neuropsychological evaluation, with preference for candidates with expertise in adult and/or older adult populations.
· The candidate should be eligible for registration with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia and is expected to initiate the registration process within the first 12 months of hire and maintain registration throughout their employment.
· Demonstrated interest and/or expertise in research related to clinical neuropsychology or a related field. Innovation and excellence in research are of greater importance than the specific focus. Again, there is a preference for candidates whose research is related to adult and/or older adult populations.
· Potential to contribute to the teaching excellence in the Department’s Clinical Psychology Program through a combination of graduate teaching, training, and supervision.

Duties

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the university’s research excellence through a rigorous research program. The candidate will be expected to teach courses in both undergraduate and graduate programs and to supervise graduate students. We seek candidates who will contribute to and complement existing strengths in our clinical neuropsychology track. The candidate will be expected to fill graduate teaching needs in general cognitive assessment, neuropsychological assessment, and/or neurocognitive disorders in adult and older adults. Finally, it is expected that the successful candidate will contribute to the department, faculty, university, and the academic community through service. Preference will be given to candidates who also have skills or experiences that can help enhance the department’s openness and responsiveness to diversity.
