Assistant/Associate Professor - Integrated Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (iCASD), Munroe-Meyer Institute, Omaha, NE

Position Summary:

The Integrated Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (iCASD) at the Munroe-Meyer Institute is recruiting for an assistant/associate professor to be part of a dynamic and growing interdisciplinary team of providers who are dedicated to meeting the needs of individuals with ASD and their families. This position will focus on both diagnostic and intervention services. We provide diagnostic evaluations within an interdisciplinary team for individuals across the lifespan and their families. We also implement evidence-based intervention practices, including, but not limited to, short-term parent training programs and individual or group behavior interventions, as well as more intensive applied behavior analytic services.  This faculty position includes a commitment to supervision of graduate students, clinical interns and postdoctoral fellows within Munroe-Meyer Institute's accredited training programs. We strongly encourage and support the development of clinical research within MMI and collaboration across other academic institutions, including applying for internal and extramural funding.  

The Integrated Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders was established in 2019 to incorporate a multitude of existing autism services under one center. The iCASD is home to programs designed to meet the needs of individuals with ASD and their families, including diagnostic services, intensive behavior analytic services, and parent training and education programs. We are rapidly expanding our clinical and research efforts, as well as our collaborations with community intervention and educational programs. In Spring 2021, MMI will move into a new state of the art facility in Aksarben Village (https://www.unmc.edu/mmi/about/building.html). The new location is a uniquely designed facility to integrate care for the individuals and families with disabilities and complex health care needs. The redesigned and renovated building will effectively double the institute's current size to 220,078 square feet.

All candidates should have a doctoral degree and clinical internship from an APA/CPA accredited program in Clinical or School Psychology with specialty training in autism spectrum disorders and developmental disabilities. Candidates should also have formal postdoctoral training in these areas and be knowledgeable about standards of care for ASD diagnostic evaluations, as well as evidence-based interventions. Research reliability with the ADOS-2 is highly preferred, but not required. Board Certified Behavioral Analyst credential is preferred, but not required. Must be license-eligible in Nebraska. Salary and benefits are competitive. Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
