Description
The Oregon Health Authority is seeking licensed psychologists (and other qualified mental‑health professionals) to serve as forensic competency evaluators for the Community Restoration Evaluation Unit. Evaluators will conduct 90‑day and 180‑day competency assessments for defendants under Oregon’s community‑restoration statutes, prepare reports that meet OAR 309‑090‑0025 standards, and may be called upon to testify as expert witnesses. Compensation is hourly, tiered by experience, with travel reimbursement for statewide travel, and each evaluator can work up to 80 hours per month unless a specific work order permits more.
• Perform forensic competency evaluations (in‑person or virtual) for Oregon courts.
• Submit detailed competency reports complying with APA, DSM‑5‑TR, and Oregon administrative rules.
• Provide expert testimony as needed and travel statewide to conduct assessments.
• Maintain certifications, annual background checks, and required insurance coverage.
• Work under a price‑agreement framework; individual work orders are issued per case.
