The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health is seeking a licensed clinical social worker (or similar professional) to join our Trauma Program and enhance our clinical mission. This position is funded by and contingent upon an existing grant in collaboration with DoD partners at Fort Bragg, and will require the applicant to live near Fayetteville, NC. Successful candidates will have a strong record of clinical experience with PTSD, military servicemembers, and veterans, as well as experience in developing, leading or substantially contributing to research, education, and clinical programs. Responsibilities include advancing an externally funded research program, publishing research in high-quality peer-reviewed scientific journals, mentoring trainees at various levels of academic development, and participating in division and department initiatives. This position requires the ability to obtain security clearance. This position will serve as a point of contact among on-site staff, OSU staff, and DoD staff/leadership and will require close coordination among these collaborators. This unique opportunity requires strong leadership to seamlessly balance clinical responsibilities with the supervision of these other distinct positions. Applicants with expertise in randomized clinical trials, military populations, trauma-specialized therapies, and intervention/efficacy research are particularly encouraged to apply.
OSU Psychiatry and Behavioral Health has a rapidly growing research faculty, with over 20 tenure-track faculty, and includes projects in neuromodulation, neurocomputation, interventional psychiatry, personalized medicine approaches, neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying risk for such illnesses, and innovative treatment modalities and strategies for prevention and treatment. The Suicide and Trauma Program is embedded in our multidisciplinary environment, such that research opportunities are integrated into clinical service delivery models.
Applicants must have an advanced clinical degree (e.g., LCSW) from an accredited program and follow accredited training pathways aligned with suitability for licensure and clinical practice in the State of North Carolina. Salary and benefits are highly competitive. Information about our department is at http://psychiatry.osu.edu/.
