* Other duties as determined by the Division of Psychology Chief to meet the needs of the Division of Psychology

This position also emphasizes the cultivation of community partnerships alongside Phoenix Children's colleagues involved in these efforts.

The psychologist will also have opportunities to join committees or groups dedicated to embodying our institutional mission to create an inclusive workplace that is well supported to provide equitable and dignified healthcare to our patients. Successful applicants will possess high levels of professionalism, interpersonal communication skills, and adaptability.

* Demonstration of excellence in provision of clinical care
* Unwavering commitment to clinical excellence, collegiality, inclusion, integrity, and respect for diversity
* Licensed (or license-eligible) as a psychologist in the state of Arizona
