Reporting to the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science, the Director oversees the program matriculants, Clinical Director, Faculty and Clinical Consultants and the Committees of the Program, including the Program’s Executive Committee. The Director is responsible for the Program budget, and will teach one course or the equivalent per semester in the program. The Director additionally conceives and implements fund-raising initiatives; maintains the Program’s state and national psychoanalytic accreditations; and represents and promotes the Program both within the University and at local, national, and international meetings.

The program invites applications and nominations for the position of Director of the Program. We are seeking to fill a position for a full-time Clinical Faculty Member.
