th

This position provides unique opportunities for a clinical psychologist interested in a career that combines teaching, research, and clinical service. It is one of two positions shared by UMaine and VA Maine. Dr. Cara Struble currently serves in the other position. The successful candidate will join two outstanding institutions and have the opportunity to help shape the growing collaborations between the university and the VA. This is an ideal position for an early career psychologist who is passionate about all aspects of clinical psychology including clinical practice, teaching, research, and consultation. The position offers unique opportunities to pursue research funding through both external (NIH/NSF/HRSA) and internal (DoD, VHA) federal funding mechanisms. Mentorship will be provided at both institutions to foster strong career development. There is significant support for the development of the psychologist's research program at the university and through the VA.
At the University of Maine, the successful candidate will be a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and a member of the faculty in the APA accredited doctoral program in clinical psychology. This is an academic year appointment. Starting date is flexible but no later than September 1, 2026. The faculty member will ordinarily teach one course per academic semester; maintain an active and productive research program (position is 50% research), including pursuit of external funding for research; mentor undergraduate and graduate students; and participate in departmental and university service at a level commensurate with a 50%-time appointment. Area of research expertise is open. The program values colleagues who bring diverse perspectives to their teaching, research, and service.

The service line is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of approximately 150 licensed independent clinical providers (Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Physician Assistants, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Social Workers, etc.), and also includes approximately 50 matrixed clinical and support staff (Nursing, Medical Support Assistants). More than 10,000 Veterans receive their mental health care at VA Maine each year - approximately 25% of the 42,000 Veterans from across Maine and northern New England that are enrolled in the VA Maine system.
In addition to providing world-class healthcare services, VA is committed to advancing applied clinical research and healthcare education. Clinical researchers may have access to VA's expansive opportunities for funding as well as vast databases of clinical data. VA Maine also sponsors numerous training programs for health professions trainees, including three APA-accredited training programs: a doctoral psychology internship program, a postdoctoral residency in clinical psychology, and a two-year postdoctoral residency in neuropsychology. Pre-doctoral practicum students are also accepted from UMaine, with the hope to expand these opportunities with the new joint hires.
The successful candidate will work from the VA outpatient clinic in Bangor Maine - a full-service clinic providing primary care, mental health service, and basic specialty care (dental, vision, lab, radiology, etc.).

The psychologist will function independently as a generalist performing assessments and providing psychological interventions (e.g., individual, group, systems therapies) consistent with the provider's scope of practice (15 hours of direct service weekly). VA encourages the use of evidence-based practices, time-limited episodes of care, and measurement-based care in practice, though many of our Veterans' chronic health problems necessitate longer episodes of treatment. In addition to clinical responsibilities, the incumbent will have protected time to engage in ongoing research (1/8
th
time (5 hours per week)) and will be encouraged to actively engage with psychology training.
VA clinicians gain access to many resources associated with being part of the nation's largest integrated healthcare network, while simultaneously being part of a local community of dedicated providers giving back to those who have served in the country's armed forces. Early career and unlicensed psychologists will have access to clinical supervision, mentoring, and other professional development opportunities and supports to facilitate successful transition into the profession.
MHS at VA Maine values and supports work-life balance. We also believe that a diverse workforce benefits the quality of our collaboration as well as the services we provide.
