Teaching Faculty Fellowship

Fellowship Opportunity

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

The Teaching Faculty Fellowship at William James College aims to recruit, train, and mentor new faculty who have completed their graduate degrees in clinical psychology, counseling, organizational and leadership psychology, and school psychology. The primary goal of the Fellowship is to develop a critical mass of exceptionally talented and well-trained faculty members who represent backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in academic settings. The Fellowship is designed to prepare emerging faculty to utilize their skills, experiences, and expertise to engage in paradigm shifting inclusive teaching, advising, and research practices, as well as in administrative and leadership positions in academia.

Who Can Apply for the Fellowship?

Recent graduates whose doctoral degrees were conferred in the past ten years (including those who will complete their graduate studies by August).

  • Individuals who identify with groups that have historically been underrepresented in academia (including, but not limited to, individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, individuals with disabilities, ethnically, racially, or religiously minoritized individuals, and veterans and those presently serving in the armed forces).
  • Candidates with a strong interest in promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility as well as a demonstrated commitment to serving underserved communities.

Priority will be given to applicants with a background—or interest in developing expertise—in consultation, family and systems theory, personality and cognitive assessment, neuropsychology, program development and evaluation, substance use disorders, or psychodynamic theory, research, and practice.

Apply Online

Application submission is currently closed. Applications for the 2026-2027 academic year will open in the Spring of 2026.

  • Didactic training in inclusive teaching and learning designs, strength-based pedagogical approaches, and culturally empowering instructional strategies
  • Professional development, research, and program evaluation experiences
  • A highly competitive salary
