Dissertation Jobs in Illinois (NOW HIRING)

Job Description:
Founded in 1979, The Chicago School is an independent professional graduate school with a dynamic student body and a professionally accomplished faculty. Our curriculum and training opportunities prepare graduates to deliver outstanding professional services emphasizing the ability to understand and work with diverse populations.
Position Summary:
The Doctorate in International Psychology Program (Online Campus) at The Chicago School is currently seeking qualified professionals to serve as Dissertation Readers. The Dissertation Readers support the dissertation students providing expertise, knowledge, and/or resources. Besides the dissertation chair, readers review the dissertation proposal and the full dissertation and give approval.
Principal Duties:
The reader's role is to contribute a new lens to the dissertation process. This lens is used from the initial sketch of the dissertation proposal through the final drafts of the dissertation. Readers often act as polishers; they help to refine the scope of the literature review or redesign the methodology.
The readers put their stamp of approval on both the dissertation proposal and final draft. As such, any major changes the students make to the proposal or final product (e.g., number of subjects, design, or scope of study is changed) will need to be approved by the readers.
Dissertation students will seek clarification on whether readers prefer to review the incorporated edits before the process continues or trust the dissertation chair and student to address the requested revisions independently. Readers are expected to maintain regular communication with both the dissertation chair and the students. While upholding high academic standards is crucial, it is equally important to provide feedback in a constructive manner that fosters learning and empowers students to progress with confidence.
In this role, dissertation readers provide critical feedback and thorough evaluations of dissertation manuscripts to support graduate students in achieving academic excellence. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills, excellent academic writing expertise, and a passion for mentoring and guiding students through the dissertation process in the field of international psychology.
Position Qualifications:

• Doctoral degree in Psychology preferable but not required
• Exemplary professional experience
• Engagement in research and scholarship (preferred)
