CACREP accredited program and be licensed or licensed-eligible in
the state of New Jersey. We seek candidates with a strong track
record of teaching and scholarship in counseling. Additionally,

required. The area of program emphasis is open but training in
Clinical Mental Health Counseling is highly desired with comparable
counseling, teaching, and clinical experience. The candidate must
be able to teach core courses at the Masters level in Clinical
Mental Health Counseling as well as developing/have developed their
own systematic research program, as publishing in peer-reviewed
journals is a requirement. The individual must be committed to
high-quality instruction and be able to mentor students. The
successful candidate will teach masters-level courses, supervise
practicum and internship and be involved in practicum and
internship placement. This faculty member will also be actively
involved in CACREP -related and other departmental and
university-wide administrative duties and committees. Preference
will be given to candidates with experience in CMHC -specific
leadership or experiences that relate to such leadership and
administrative opportunities.

Employment is contingent upon a satisfactory background check.
Candidates for hire will be required to sign a waiver authorizing
the background check and produce a Social Security Card.
