Staff Psychiatrist

University of Notre Dame

The University of Notre Dame (ND.jobs) is accepting applications for a Staff Psychiatrist.

Applications will be accepted until 10/17/2023.

About the University of Notre Dame
Notre Dame is one of America's leading undergraduate teaching institutions, and is at the forefront in research and scholarship. The University has a tradition and is committed to educating our students holistically, endeavoring to develop a sense of community and responsibility that prepares students to make positive change in the world. The University is also committed to engaging and serving the local South Bend community. At Notre Dame, staff are provided with an environment where they are both challenged and supported.

The University Counseling Center and the College of Arts and Letters Clinical Psychology Partnership invites applications for a Staff Psychiatrist position from individuals who share our multi-disciplinary team's commitment to serving the growing and challenging mental health needs of our diverse student body and our local community. Dynamic professionals with well-developed clinical skills and a commitment to excellence who would enhance the diversity of our staff are encouraged to apply. Applications from both entry-level psychiatrists and those with several years of experience are welcomed.

The Staff Psychiatrist is a joint position between the University Counseling Center (UCC), and the Clinical Psychology Partnership (CPP). The Staff Psychiatrist will provide behavioral health care in both settings for clients needing psychiatric evaluation and medication treatment. The Staff Psychiatrist will collaborate, consult, and coordinate care with a multidisciplinary team of providers in both settings. Additionally, the Staff Psychiatrist will be on-call to assist the UCC and CPP staff with facilitating the hospitalization of clients as needed. The projected division of duties between the two centers during the first two years of employment is 75% UCC / 25% CPP, with the understanding that the division of services will move toward a 50/50 division as the Clinical Psychology Partnership becomes more established.

The University Counseling Center is an IACS accredited center that sees approximately 20% of the University's undergraduate and graduate students in a given year. The Center has a thriving training program that includes both an APA accredited internship program in Health Services Provider in Psychology and a training program for MA level counselors and social workers, which creates an environment that supports ongoing professional development and enables staff to contribute to the development of the next generation of health care providers.

The Clinical Psychology Partnership, a new initiative designed to establish Notre Dame as a field-leader in mental health research and service delivery to the local community, is a multidisciplinary partnership that is affiliated but separate from the University's Psychology Department's accredited doctoral training program in Clinical Psychology. The goal of the CPP is to extend community services at the Psychological Services Center far beyond what doctoral training programs can offer given their tightly defined mission.
