Professor - Munroe Meyer Institute, Omaha, NE

Assistant/Associate Professor in Psychology

Munroe Meyer Institute & University of Nebraska

Medical Center: Omaha, NE

The Department of Psychology at the Munroe Meyer Institute for Genetics and Rehabilitation is

recruiting a Ph.D. or PsyD. in Clinical or School Psychology. The department is a collegial group of

clinical educators and clinical researchers who seek to incorporate training and research activities

into clinical service delivery within a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary center. MMI recently

moved into a brand new, state of the art facility and has prioritize expansion of innovative clinical

and educational programs serving those with a wide range of physical, cognitive, social emotional,

and behavioral disabilities.

Clinical activities center on delivery of behavioral health assessment, diagnostic and treatment

services for neurotypical individuals (especially children, adolescents and families) as well as

individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the lifespan. Referrals come from

schools, physicians, and community agencies throughout the region. Faculty may choose to focus

their clinical services, training and research in 1) outpatient BH clinics at MMI, 2) integrated primary

care sites across the Omaha metro area, or 3) school based mental health clinics in the surrounding

community.

All faculty members at MMI play an important role in education and provide clinical supervision in a

large, well funded internship program within the APA accredited Nebraska Internship Consortium

and in a growing postdoctoral fellowship program. The department is also home to the Mid America

Mental Health Technology Transfer Center, which is a federally funded collaborative network that

supports resource development and dissemination, training and technical assistance, and workforce

development to the mental health field. We are a decidedly behavioral program by orientation, but

are open to applications of diverse, yet aligned theoretical orientations. Some faculty in MMI

Psychology teach courses in our ABA Masters degree program which prepares graduates for

licensure as a mental health practitioner and also certification as a BCBA. Licensure (or license

eligible) in Nebraska is required, while board certification (particularly BCBA) is also valued. Faculty

members are encouraged to develop and participate in clinical research. Specific areas of research

interest are less important than fit within our mission.

Candidates with a clinical internship from APA/CPA accredited programs in psychology are

preferred. Salary and benefits are competitive. The Institute invites and strongly encourages

applications from members of ethnic and racial minorities. Omaha is a growing metropolitan area of

over 900,000 with a vibrant arts community, low cost of living and excellent schools. Review of

applicants will begin Jan 1 and will continue until the position is filled. Rank will depend on

qualifications. Send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and three letters of recommendation to
