CSEP is an interdisciplinary and collaborative department operating within a community-based, scientist-practitioner methodology that informs students, scholars, and practitioners to build upon the strengths of diverse populations.

Priority status will be given to scholars who take critical and innovative approaches to transforming existing ways of promoting mental health to ensure the well-being of all people, particularly those from minoritized groups. Ideal candidates will make clear connections between their teaching and service and the needs of marginalized and/or underserved populations.
Responsibilities Include:
