Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) has initiated a search for a talented leader to Chair the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The School has made a major commitment to strengthen, expand and integrate its academic programs in clinical and basic sciences and develop an academic culture which places EVMS at the forefront in translational research, education and health-care delivery.

The new Chair of Psychiatry will be provided the needed support to enhance and develop existing and new academic programs that address the mental health-care needs of the region. Currently, the EVMS Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has 21 full-time faculty and 98 community faculty with affiliations at several training institutions. The Psychiatry residency program within the Department has 16 residents and is fully accredited by the ACGME. In addition, the Department houses a highly competitive Psychology Intern program (eight interns) approved by the APA since 1982; a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychology and Forensic Psychology (two Fellows); an APA-approved doctoral program in Clinical Psychology in collaboration with the College of William and Mary, Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University; and a nationally recognized Art Therapy master's degree program.

The successful candidate must be board-certified in Psychiatry, have superb leadership and interpersonal skills, and have an ability to articulate a multidisciplinary vision for building high-quality, financially sound clinical and academic programs, plus a distinguished record of scholarly activities, including national recognition in research, a proven track record of extramural funding, and demonstrated achievements in teaching, collaborative research, mentorship and administration.

All inquires, nominations and applications will be held in the strictest confidence and will be reviewed as they are received and continue until the position is filled. Applicants should forward electronically (hubandsb@evms.edu) a letter of interest and Curriculum Vitae addressed to:
