Program Director / Faculty

Position Announcement

The Michigan School of Psychology (MSP) is seeking a passionate psychologist to serve as the Program Director for our fully APA accredited PsyD program. The ideal candidate is someone dedicated to education that wants to invest in our mission "...to educate psychologists today who will transform our world tomorrow."

As a school that is singularly focused on educating clinical psychologists, the MSP experience is different from any other school in the State of Michigan. All students are committed to becoming licensed psychologists, and all faculty share a passion and a commitment to the profession and the discipline. This makes the MSP environment truly unique.

First and foremost, we are a teaching institution. Typically, faculty teach no more than 2 classes in a term, meaning there is time to engage students as they strive to reach educational goals and plan for their future. With fewer than 180 students on campus, our size offers unparalleled opportunity to involve everyone in the life of the campus. Whether working with students in supervision to address client needs or mentoring students who submit papers to national conferences, the connection between faculty and students is strong.

Being a member of the MSP community also means being a member of the psychology profession. Our faculty are actively involved in state and national organizations, and the institution provides support for every employee to attend conferences and other professional meetings. Students also have access to professional development funds enabling them to attend conferences to present, network, and bolster their careers. Most MSP faculty also participate in clinical practice ensuring that the connection between work in the classroom and work with clients is always strong.

Admitting 18-20 students each year, this program has developed a strong reputation in the field as evidenced by our 100% placement rate in APA/APPIC Internships in each of the last several years. The Director will join a team of experienced faculty that functions well as a unit and is prepared for continued success in the future. Working with a new President and joining as a new strategic plan is being launched, the opportunity for contribution is substantial. We invite qualified candidates to apply now!
