St. Mary's College of Maryland is accepting applications for the tenure track position of Assistant Professor and Internship Coordinator in its newly approved Masters of Arts in Counseling and Clinical Psychology (MACCP) program, beginning August 2027. The MACCP program is the second Masters program at SMCM (following the successful Master of Teaching program). The salary range for this position is $75,000 to $79,000 based on level of experience; startup costs are negotiable; benefits information is available online.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The standard teaching load is 12 credits (usually, the equivalent of 3 courses) per semester. The Internship Coordinator will be in charge of preparing for internship placements (which is built into the teaching load). Teaching responsibilities will include courses in the Master of Arts in Counseling and Clinical Psychology program (e.g., Psychopathology and Diagnosis, Multicultural Counseling, Lifespan Development, Group Counseling, Psychological Testing, Family Systems in Practice), as well as the possibility of undergraduate courses in your area of specialization to provide cross-program collaboration with the Psychology major.
At SMCM, we seek faculty whose pedagogical practice involves culturally responsive teaching practices that promote belonging and inclusion. New faculty are paired with mentors to support your growth as a teacher-scholar. In addition, we offer start-up funding to support your research, especially encouraging projects that relate to the training of psychotherapy practitioners. Over time, professors take on roles in services to the program and College to support the College's mission; first-year faculty are exempt from college-wide committee work.
Non-sectarian since its founding, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public Carnegie Baccalaureate, Arts and Sciences institution located in St. Mary's City, 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., has been designated a national public honors college. With selective admissions policies, academically talented students, and a rigorous curriculum, we offer a small college experience similar to that found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary’s faculty benefit from a comprehensive program of support for scholarship, research, travel, and curriculum development, including course releases for pretenure faculty and leaves for tenured faculty. The quality of life is enhanced by the recreational opportunities of the Chesapeake region and by our proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Ph.D. in Counseling or Clinical Psychology or related field (ABD acceptable at the time of application)
Employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
St. Mary’s College embodies diversity and inclusion in its mission. We create an environment that recognizes the value of individual and group differences and we encourage inquiries from applicants who will contribute to our cultural and ethnic diversity.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Application materials should include a cover letter (which should speak to ways in which the candidate's teaching will contribute to the training of Masters students in counseling and clinical psychology), curriculum vitae (including email address), statement of teaching philosophy, statement of research interests, and evidence of teaching effectiveness if available (e.g., teaching evaluations, observation notes). We request three professional references (rather than letters of recommendation) at the time of application. Of these three references, at least one referee should speak to the candidate's disciplinary expertise, and at least one should have seen the candidate deliver or design classroom instruction. References will be contacted only for candidates who advance to finalist interviews. Applications are being accepted online, with reviews starting September 1, 2026 and continuing until the position is filled.
Questions may be directed to Dr. Libby Nutt Williams at enwilliams@smcm.edu.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Clinical Care Coordinator
Verify your credentials meet Trainee category requirements
The J-1 visa Trainee category requires a degree or professional certificate plus at least one year of experience outside the U.S. Gather transcripts, licensure documents, and employer letters before approaching any host organization.
Target healthcare systems with established J-1 host agreements
Hospitals, integrated health networks, and federally qualified health centers are most likely to have existing relationships with State Department-designated sponsors. Search Migrate Mate to find Clinical Care Coordinator roles at organizations already familiar with J-1 hosting obligations.
Confirm the host can articulate a structured training plan
Designated sponsors require a detailed Training or Internship Placement Plan. Before accepting an offer, ask the employer whether they've hosted J-1 participants before and whether a program supervisor can document your weekly learning objectives in writing.
Check whether your role triggers the two-year home residency requirement
Clinical Care Coordinator positions funded by a foreign government or falling under a skills shortage list in your home country may carry the two-year home residency requirement. Confirm your country and funding source with the designated sponsor before the DS-2019 is issued.
Align your program duration with the Trainee category ceiling
J-1 Trainee programs are capped at 18 months, with no extensions beyond that limit. Structure your offer letter and training timeline to fit within this window, and clarify with the sponsor what happens to your status if the host extends your role.
Negotiate the offer before the sponsor issues your DS-2019
Once the designated sponsor submits your DS-2019, the program category, host employer, and training objectives are locked. Resolve compensation, schedule, and role scope with the host before sponsorship paperwork moves forward to avoid costly amendments.
Clinical Care Coordinator J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Clinical Care Coordinator role?
Most Clinical Care Coordinators qualify under the J-1 Trainee category if they hold a relevant degree and at least one year of post-degree work experience outside the U.S. Professionals with significant specialized expertise may qualify under the Specialist category instead. Current students completing a practicum may use the Intern category, which has a 12-month ceiling.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for a Clinical Care Coordinator?
The visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, not the healthcare employer. Organizations like CIEE, Cultural Vistas, or AIPT issue the DS-2019 form and oversee program compliance. The hospital or clinic where you work is the host employer. These are two separate entities with distinct legal obligations under the J-1 program.
How do I find Clinical Care Coordinator positions where the host employer is open to J-1 participants?
Migrate Mate lets you filter for Clinical Care Coordinator roles at U.S. employers with documented experience hosting international professionals. Because J-1 hosting requires coordination with a designated sponsor, targeting organizations already familiar with the process significantly reduces the time between offer and DS-2019 issuance.
Can I transition from J-1 status to a work visa after my Clinical Care Coordinator program ends?
Possibly, but the two-year home residency requirement can block a direct transition to H-1B visa or other employer-sponsored visas if it applies to you. You'd need either a waiver from USCIS or to fulfill the residency obligation first. Confirm your waiver eligibility early in the process, not after your program concludes.
What documents does the host employer need to prepare for J-1 sponsorship?
The host employer typically provides a signed Training or Internship Placement Plan, proof of adequate insurance coverage, and confirmation of a designated program supervisor. The designated sponsor uses these materials to evaluate the placement before issuing the DS-2019. Delays almost always trace back to incomplete or vague training plan documentation from the host site.
