Job Description:
The Department of Psychology at Louisiana State University (LSU) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the School Psychology program at the Assistant Professor level. This nine-month position has an anticipated start date of August 15, 2026.
LSU, Louisiana’s flagship public research university, is located in Baton Rouge. Classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a Research 1 institution, LSU is recognized for its Land, Sea, and Space-Grant status, substantial economic impact on the state, and strong community engagement. The university’s vibrant traditions, rich culture, and iconic purple and gold colors—which symbolize passion and excellence—reflect the spirit of the LSU Department of Psychology and the School Psychology Ph.D. program.
We seek a dynamic scholar who will contribute to our APA-accredited and NASP-approved Ph.D. program through research, teaching, and service. LSU's School Psychology Ph.D. program prepares highly competent scientist-practitioners who are committed to evidence-based practices and advocacy for children and families. Our program emphasizes collaborative, ecological, and culturally responsive approaches to psychological services in schools, clinics, hospitals, and related settings. The Department of Psychology houses a training clinic (i.e., Psychological Services Center), which may support clinical and research activities. Additionally, many faculty members maintain collaborative partnerships with local school districts, as well as community, clinic, and hospital settings. Further, there are many opportunities for collaboration with other doctoral programs in the department (i.e., Clinical Psychology, Behavior Analysis).

The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to develop and sustain a strong research program characterized by active scholarly productivity that advances both theory and practice in school psychology. Duties include pursuing external funding for research and fostering partnerships within the community. The successful candidate will advise and mentor doctoral students, chair thesis and dissertation committees, and supervise practicum experiences. Teaching responsibilities span both graduate and undergraduate courses, as well as contributing to the service missions of the Department of Psychology and LSU.
