Adjunct Faculty Appointments
We greatly appreciate the role that various professionals play in the training of our students: as course instructors, as practicum supervisors, and as research supervisors. We acknowledge this support through adjunct appointments. To keep the appointments meaningful for all involved, we require involvement in training UBC clinical psychology graduate students in 3 of the past 5 years as the criteria for deciding if someone is eligible for adjunct appointment or renewal. Involvement is typically defined as providing practicum or research supervision or teaching a course, and translates to more than a casual consultation with a student or teaching only a small part of a course. Given that internships are separately accredited programs, sponsored by the hospitals or worksites, we focus on involvement with students completing practica, not students on internship.
For those interested in applying for an Adjunct Faculty appointment, please send a current curriculum vitae and a brief cover letter detailing the work you have been doing for the department in the past couple of years (e.g., names of students you have supervised) to David Klonsky, Director of Clinical Training (edklonsky@psych.ubc.ca).
The Clinical Area will make a recommendation, but the final decision on Adjunct Faculty appointments rests with the Department Head. Appointments are usually 1-3 years and commence on July 1st. Typically, adjunct faculty are individuals who make consistent contributions to our training program through supervision of practicum (not internship) students.
