Department Summary The Ballmer Institute for Children's Behavioral Health at the University of Oregon Portland campus establishes a new national model for behavioral healthcare for children and families by creating the nation's first undergraduate program in child behavioral health. The institute prioritizes the needs of youth who have been historically or persistently underserved and seeks to make real system change by:

• Creating a new mental health profession that addresses existing barriers and gaps in mental health services
• Delivering supports in health care, schools and/or the community
• Training existing youth-serving professionals

• Transforming the Pacific Northwest into a national model of thought and action This groundbreaking institute was made possible by an extraordinary gift from Connie and Steve Ballmer, co-founders of Ballmer Group Philanthropy.

Position Summary Clinical professor faculty (assistant, associate, or professor rank) serve as the essential link between teaching and practice at the Ballmer Institute for Children's Behavioral Health. Clinical professor faculty are partners in delivering instruction, supervision of students, and the modeling and training of the child behavioral health specialist role within health care systems, K12 schools, and/or other community settings. Clinical professor faculty work in coordination with training site staff to deliver evidence-based interventions to promote well-being and prevent mental health problems from developing and worsening in children and adolescents. Clinical professor faculty oversee the integration of Ballmer Institute undergraduate students at community training sites (i.e., schools, healthcare settings, community-based organizations), provide instruction and supervision, and maintain alignment and communication with site staff. Clinical faculty are expected to provide direct behavioral health services and teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate level as aligned with their areas of professional, instructional, or research experience in a way that prepares students to engage effectively with youth and families from diverse backgrounds. Individuals with experience in mental health screening, behavioral health promotion, evidence-based prevention and intervention approaches for youth mental health, and strategies to address disparities in access to behavioral health services for youth from historically and persistently underserved communities are encouraged to apply. The UO is committed to creating and maintaining compassionate and inclusive learning and working environments for all learners, visitors, and employees, and envisioning collaborative community environments that enhance civility and embrace inclusion. All employees are responsible for achieving this commitment. The position is a 9-month career faculty position in the clinical professor series. Opportunities for summer funding may be available.
