Denver, CO
About the Job
About the University of Denver
Founded in 1864, the University of Denver is an independent, R1
doctoral-granting university with robust undergraduate and graduate education.
DU has become increasingly known, nationally and internationally, for its
creative, 21st-century approaches to problem-based scholarship, as well as
its holistic, student-centered approach to learning and its dedication to
the public good through local, national, and international partnerships.
The University plays an integral role in the cultural, social, economic,
and educational vibrancy of the fast-growing city and region it calls home. Of
note for this position, Colorado leads the country in the "psychedelic
renaissance" among scientific researchers, clients, and the general
population. In 2023, Colorado's Proposition 122 decriminalized the growing
and sharing of five psychedelics for personal use: psilocybin, psilocyn,
dimethyltryptamine, ibogaine, and mescaline and cleared a pathway for the
use o
nsed by the state's Department of Regulatory Agencies that are expected to
open in 2024.
DU has a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI). The DEI Action Plan serves as a guide to DU's abiding commitment
to truly embodying a forward-looking institution and community where all can
belong, contribute, and thrive and includes three senior administrators in
the chancellor's cabinet who have direct accountability for DEI work. The
University of Denver recognizes that its success in being a great university
dedicated to the public good depends greatly on how well it engages,
supports, and champions the values of diversity, equity, inclusion and
justice. As part of our intentionality in recruiting and retaining faculty
from a wide variety of historically excluded intersecting identities,
including those from communities of color, with diverse gender and sexual
identities, first-generation college graduates, or with disabilities,
new faculty will have the opportunity to choose to participate in a pilot
University-wide initiative. This initiative
will connect new colleagues in a cohort, building community across units
with supportive programming led by the Office of the Vice Provost of Faculty
Affairs in collaboration with the Division of Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion and each faculty participant's academic unit. To learn more about

About the MAFP Program
The Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology (MAFP) Program was founded in
1999 to incorporate master's level clinical training with coursework and
practicum experiences at the intersection of psychology and law. The program
ties the application of psychological theory, knowledge, skills and
competencies to the civil and criminal legal systems. It is designed to train
mental health professionals to work effectively in a variety of roles across
systems and settings, and with members of diverse, often minoritized and
under-resourced, communities.
The MAFP Program academic year runs from September to June and consists of
three quarters. MAFP students typically take 5-6 courses per quarter under a
"lockstep" model in which cohort members take required courses together,
in sequence. Students are generally in class 2 days per week and participate
in field placement (practicum) on other days. MAFP classes are generally
held between 8 am and 8 pm, Monday through Thursday, although specific
schedules vary by quarter and are subject to change. MAFP courses range from 1
to 5 quarter credits; most required courses are 2-3 quarter credits. Cohort
sizes are generally 30-35 students.
