Description

The Hampton University Department of Counseling invites applications from qualified candidates for one full-time, nine-month position at the Assistant Professor level. The successful applicant will be expected to serve on departmental, college and university committees; participate in Council of Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accreditation activities, and other faculty responsibilities as assigned.

Founded in 1868, Hampton University is a leading historically black university (HBCU) located in the City of Hampton—an historic city in the Hampton Roads region which offers an environment for living and learning that is peaceful, yet mentally stimulating. The main campus is centrally located between Virginia Beach and historic Williamsburg, along a beautiful waterfront. The university is a nationally renowned institution that is privately endowed, co‑educational, and nonsectarian. It is dedicated to the promotion of learning, the building of character, and the preparation of promising students for positions of leadership and service.

The Department of Counseling is a vibrant and innovative department with active and dedicated faculty members offering rigorous and rewarding curriculum. Faculty members are active teachers, engage in scholarly research, and provide service to the university and the greater Hampton Roads community.

Duties and Responsibilities

The successful candidates must be committed to teaching graduate courses in research methodology, cognition, and other discipline‑related topics. They are expected to advise counseling majors and hold office hours. The candidate will contribute to the scholarly advancement of the department through a productive research agenda that includes craftsmanship. Candidates should demonstrate dedication to the progress of the Counseling Department, the School of Liberal Arts and Education, and the university as a whole, through service activities.

Qualifications

Qualified candidates must have earned a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision or a related field, with a record of employment as a full‑time faculty member in a Counselor Education program for a minimum of one full academic year before July 1 2025, or otherwise meet CACREP core faculty eligibility requirements and hold licensure as a professional counselor in Virginia or another state.

They must have a background in supervising Master’s students in practicum and internship experiences; must be able to teach courses in Abnormal Psychology, Diagnosis and Treatment, as well as other clinical mental health courses. They must have an established research agenda and experience in seeking external funding. Experience with online counseling and delivering courses online is desired. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated experience in research and craftsmanship.

  • Experience working with culturally diverse populations.
  • Minimum of five years of university teaching experience, including advising and supervising graduate students.
  • Direct experience with CACREP accreditation processes.
  • Minimum of five years of clinical experience in mental health counseling.
  • Minimum of five years of clinical experience in marriage and family therapy.
