WE’RE HIRING | CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Are you a clinical psychologist who wants your work to shape how an entire university community thinks about, talks about, and cares for mental health? We’re looking for a driven Clinical Psychologist to join our Mental Health Research Team and lead a flagship initiative from the ground up.

The Project: Design & Implementation of a University Mental Health Program

Student mental health needs are rising, and many campuses still lack structured, evidence-based support systems. This project aims to change that by building a scalable, research-backed mental health program, from early screening and prevention to intervention and referral pathways, that universities can adopt and sustain.

- Build support systems that are culturally sensitive, accessible, and suited to diverse student populations.
- Develop training modules for faculty, staff, and student volunteers on mental health awareness and first response.

2. Tool, Product & Intervention Development

- Develop, adapt, and validate psychological assessment tools, screening instruments, and mental health products.
- Design evidence-based interventions (individual, group, and digital) for common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and academic burnout.
- Establish psychometric standards, including reliability, validity, and norming, for all tools developed.

3. Research Leadership

- Lead the full research cycle: study design, ethics approvals, data collection, statistical analysis, documentation, and reporting.




- Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at national and international conferences.
- Contribute to grant proposals, technical reports, and policy briefs.

4. Stakeholder Coordination

- Work closely with university leadership, counselling centres, faculty, student bodies, and external partners to ensure smooth implementation.
- Monitor program uptake and outcomes, and use data to refine the program over time.
