Director, School and Child Clinical Psychology Training Clinic

Mount Saint Vincent University invites applications for the position of Director, School and Child Clinical Psychology Training Clinic (the "Director"). This new training clinic is associated with the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in School and Child Clinical Psychology program, which emphasizes the practitioner-scientist model of training, and admitted its first cohort of students in September 2026. The position of Director is a full-time position, which reports to the Dean of Education. This position will have a dotted-line reporting relationship to, and will coordinate duties of the clinic in collaboration with, the Director of Training and the training committee for the PsyD program.

The training clinic features heavily in the training model for the PsyD program. The Clinic will host the initial assessment and intervention practicum experiences for all PsyD students. Each annual entry cohort has a capacity of eight students. Additional practicum experiences will be created at the training clinic for upper-level students by the Director and other clinic psychologists in consultation with the Director of Training and the training committee.

The Clinic will employ additional registered psychologists, as well as the Director. The training clinic will also be home to four full-time predoctoral residency positions within the next four years. The successful candidate for the Director position will be involved in the selection process for the registered psychologists and will have the chance to lead these initiatives to shape the clinic's model of care and, with the Director of Training and the training committee for the PsyD program, develop a model of training that supports students' learning about providing clinical services across multiple systems (e.g., schools, health, mental health, justice) that children, adolescents, youth, and their families might be in contact with.
