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 Sales Specialist
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Your background in life sciences, medical devices, or healthcare sales must map to the role's core functions. Document your degree field and any clinical or commercial training, since designated sponsors evaluate credential fit before issuing a DS-2019.
Target host employers with established training infrastructure
Medical device, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical companies with formal onboarding programs are far more likely to coordinate with a designated sponsor. Look for roles that list structured product or territory training, not just sales quotas, in the job description.
Distinguish Trainee from Specialist category eligibility
The Trainee category suits professionals with a relevant degree plus at least one year of experience outside the U.S. The Specialist category requires substantial expertise in a field not yet fully developed in your home country. Which category you qualify for shapes which designated sponsors can support your application.
Confirm your host employer will sign a training plan
Before accepting an offer, verify the employer will complete a formal Training or Internship Placement Plan (DS-7002) with a designated sponsor. Some smaller medical sales firms have no prior experience coordinating J-1 visa requirements and may decline at the offer stage.
Search for J-1-compatible roles using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Clinical Sales Specialist openings at U.S. employers that align with J-1 sponsorship. Targeting the right host employer early is the step most applicants skip, and it determines whether the DS-2019 process can move forward.
Check home country residency requirement applicability early
Some J-1 participants are subject to a two-year home residency requirement before changing to certain U.S. visa categories. Whether this applies to you depends on your funding source and country of nationality, so confirm your status before finalizing any offer.
Clinical Sales Specialist J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Clinical Sales Specialist role?
Most Clinical Sales Specialists enter on the J-1 Trainee or Specialist category. Trainee applies if you hold a relevant degree and have at least one year of professional experience gained outside the United States. Specialist applies when you have expertise in a niche field not fully developed in your home country. Neither category is designed for current students, who would use the Intern category instead.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for this role, the employer or someone else?
The J-1 visa sponsor is always a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, not the hiring employer. Organizations like Cultural Vistas or AIPT issue the DS-2019 form and serve as the official sponsor. The company hiring you is the host employer. Both parties must agree to coordinate before your application can proceed, so clarifying this distinction during the offer process avoids confusion.
How do I find Clinical Sales Specialist positions where the host employer already understands J-1 requirements?
Many employers in medical device and diagnostics sales have worked with designated sponsors before, but they rarely advertise that fact in job postings. Migrate Mate lets you search for Clinical Sales Specialist roles at U.S. employers that align with J-1 sponsorship, so you can focus your outreach on hosts that are already familiar with the DS-2019 and training plan process.
Does the J-1 Trainee category have a duration limit for clinical sales positions?
Yes. The J-1 Trainee category allows a maximum of 18 months in a given program. Clinical sales training programs structured around territory development, product knowledge, and customer engagement typically fit within that window. If your role requires a longer development timeline, your host employer and designated sponsor need to account for that limit when designing the DS-7002 training plan.
Can a two-year home residency requirement affect my ability to stay in the United States after a J-1 Clinical Sales role?
It can. The two-year home residency requirement applies to certain J-1 participants based on funding source or country of nationality and bars you from changing to H-1B visa, L-1 visa, or immigrant visa status until you fulfill or waive it. Waivers are available through channels such as a no-objection statement from your home government or a DOL-supported hardship waiver, but the process takes time and is not guaranteed.
