The successful candidate must show a clear capacity to conduct creative research in areas such as these and to teach courses on either counseling interventions, child and/or adolescent development, or sociocultural development as it applies to counseling and applied development work. Applicants must have earned a doctorate in counseling, applied psychology (counseling, clinical, school), or a related field, or show clear evidence that their doctoral degree will be completed prior to assuming the position in fall 2014.
