Clinical Assistant Professor in the Center for Children and Families
The Center for Children and Families (CCF) at Florida
International University (FIU) is searching for a Clinical Assistant Professor (non-tenure earning) to support ongoing clinical service
provision, training, and outreach through the Center for Children and Families Clinic. Primary responsibilities will include direct
provision of psychoeducational and diagnostic evaluations for children and adolescents; serving as an on-site clinical supervisor for our
world-renowned Summer Treatment Program; supervision and training of practicum students from the FIU Clinical Science PhD program and from
the FIU Professional Counseling Psychology MS program; and contributing to community outreach and partnerships with area school districts.
The successful candidate will hold a PhD or PsyD in Clinical Psychology or a related field. Candidates should be licensed as a psychologist
in Florida. Pre-licensure candidates may be considered with the expectation of obtaining licensure within one year.

Expertise in
evidence-based treatments for children and adolescents, particularly those with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is strongly
preferred. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in child and adolescent assessment, particularly with regard to one or more of
the following: ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, specific learning disorders. The successful candidate is expected to be skilled in the
administration, scoring, and interpretation of common cognitive, academic achievement, developmental, and neuropsychological tests. Training
and experience in administration and interpretation of the Autism Diagnostic Observation System (ADOS) is preferred. Spanish language
fluency is a plus.

The CCF is one of six University-Designated Preeminent Programs and has over 35 faculty associates—most of
whom are faculty in the FIU Psychology Department—and more than 100 trainees in masters, doctoral, and professional programs who study
child and adolescent mental health. The CCF currently has over $98 million of research funding – mostly NIH and IES, and largely based
on this CCF funding, the FIU Department of Psychology is ranked 3rd among Psychology Departments in the U.S. in research funding (2020 NSF
HERD Report). The CCF has extensive relationships with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the third largest school district in the U.S.
and many community agencies in Miami. The CCF also has a close affiliation with and extensive funding from The Children’s Trust, the
largest funder of children’s services in Miami-Dade County.

The CCF Clinic is an active outpatient mental health clinic
providing state of the art, evidence-based mental health services for more than 1,200 children and adolescents yearly. The CCF Clinic
provides a wide range of services including individual therapy, group therapy, psychoeducational evaluations, and school consultations.
Additionally, the CCF Clinic features an Attention and Behavior Disorders Clinic providing specialty services for children and adolescents
with ADHD and other behavioral concerns. Most notably, the Attention and Behavior Disorders Clinic features a world-renowned Summer
Treatment Program for children with ADHD ages 6 to 12 developed by our founding director Dr. Bill Pelham. It is anticipated that the
successful candidate would support the Summer Treatment Program as a clinical supervisor and by contributing to intake assessments.

Opportunities will be available to accrue supervised clinical hours towards licensure. The successful candidate will also have
access to a variety of continuing education opportunities through the CCF Speaker Series and the Miami International Child and Adolescent
Mental Health Conference. Although this position is primarily clinical in nature, given the strong research mission of the CCF, the selected
candidate may also have opportunities to collaborate with research faculty on clinical research.
