About WSU, Pullman, CAS, and DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY: Washington State University is a land grant, multiple-campus Research 1 institution. This position will serve on the Pullman campus, which has an enrollment of around 20,000 students and is located in Southeastern Washington on the homelands of the Nimíipuu (Nez Perce) Tribe and Palus people. Located 80 miles south of metropolitan Spokane, Pullman is also a quick drive away from the scenic Idaho panhandle and Moscow Mountain. The rolling hills of the Palouse offer a wide range of activities and a true four-season climate. The area provides ample opportunity to enjoy the cultural and academic hub of both Washington State University and the University of Idaho, in the neighboring town of Moscow, Idaho. For more information about the region, please see https://pullmanchamber.com.
Encompassing more than 30 departments, schools, and research institutes on five campuses statewide, the College of Arts & Sciences is the heart of WSU. Together our 730+ faculty and staff deliver more than 50% of WSU's total undergraduate and graduate instruction, including the vast majority of WSU's core curriculum. We also drive annual research expenditures of more than $26 million, with wide interdisciplinary strengths in public and community health, environmental change, equity and social justice, and data and technology at the boundaries. As Arts & Sciences begins its 10th anniversary as a unified college, we seek to lead a reimagining of WSU's land-grant mission for the 21st century, expanding the boundaries of creativity and discovery while simultaneously recognizing more completely our obligations to Native and Indigenous peoples. For more about the College of Arts & Sciences at WSU, please see https://cas.wsu.edu.
The Department of Psychology is committed to promoting social equity and social justice within the department and field of psychology as a whole. We strive to build an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming community in which all faculty, staff, and students are inspired to achieve their highest potential. We promote a collaborative research and teaching environment and offer graduate programs in both Clinical (APA accredited) and Experimental Psychology. The Clinical Psychology program is designed to integrate theory, research and clinical practice in the training of students. Students are involved in research activities each semester in the Program and clinical practica beginning in the second year.

In addition to WSU Pullman, research collaborations and training opportunities are available in Spokane, WA. Spokane is home to the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine and to several major medical facilities with a patient referral base that encompasses Eastern Washington, Northeastern Oregon, Northern Idaho, and Eastern Montana. Among these medical facilities is Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, which is the largest hospital in the Northwest between Seattle and Minneapolis, and St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute, which is the only comprehensive freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital serving the inland northwest region. State of the art medical services and equipment are available in these medical facilities.
WSU acknowledges that its locations statewide are on the homelands of Native American peoples, who have lived in this region and have been caretakers of the land from time immemorial. The Morrill Act of 1862 established our land-grant institution by providing public and federal lands that are traced back to the disposition of Indigenous lands, often taken by coercive and violent acts, and the disregard of treaties. For that, we extend our deepest apologies. We owe our deepest gratitude to the Native peoples of this region and maintain our commitment towards reconciliation. And as a land-grant institution, WSU is deeply committed to the land-grant mission, its Memorandums of Understanding with Native tribes in the region, and a tradition of service to society.
