Introduction:

University of the Sciences (USciences) has a need for a qualified candidate for the position of Post-Doctoral Psychology Fellow in the Student Health & Counseling/Division of Student Affairs Department. This position is a full-time, 12-month appointment running from mid-August 2020 to mid-August 2021. The Post-Doctoral Psychology Fellow will assume a range of responsibilities including: clinical assessment and treatment, campus outreach and education, systems consultation and liaison, and supervision and training of masters-level counseling interns. The Fellow serves as a member of the senior staff group within Counseling Services under the direct supervision of licensed psychologists and in coordination with a consulting psychiatrist.

The fellowship offers several distinct strengths as an opportunity for continued professional development, including:

An immediate work environment and culture that emphasizes professionalism, clinical excellence and a strong commitment to the larger institutional mission of educating future health professionals and laboratory scientists while still insisting on professional self-care, work/life balance, teamwork, communication and positive mutual regard for all members of the team (degreed professionals as well as administrative support staff).

Highly collaborative working relationships with senior colleagues that emphasize self- and other-awareness, explicit communication and feedback, and gradual ownership of one’s clinical and broader professional authority as a psychologist.

Robust opportunities for continued growth as a mental health clinician through service delivery to a culturally and economically diverse population of highly motivated and intelligent young adults, the majority of whom are pursuing accelerated training and licensure in the allied health professions (Pharmacy, Pre-Medicine/Dental/Veterinary, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant, Health Psychology, etc.). We treat mental illness, promote stage-appropriate identity development, address maladaptive coping with intensive psychosocial stressors, as well as fostering enhanced academic and professional performance in otherwise well-adjusted student clientele.

Intensive consultation and liaison with campus stakeholders (faculty, staff and administrative leaders), with particular emphasis on early identification, referral and response to the needs of academically and psychologically at-risk students. We serve as client advocates, case managers and resource consultants at the boundary/interface of academic and student affairs.

Primary Responsibilities:

Conduct Evaluation and Treatment of individual undergraduate and graduate students using a range of modalities, including: intake assessment/triage, crisis intervention, time-limited case consultation, ongoing counseling, outside referral and periodic on-call coverage.

Deliver Educational Outreach to the Campus Community on a range of psycho-educational topics, including Date Rape Prevention, Stress Management and Eating Disorders Awareness/ Positive Body Image, Orientation to Counseling Services.

Assist with the Graduate Psychology Training Program, involving supervision and training of masters- and/or doctoral-level practicum students, active participation in weekly case conferences.

Represent Counseling Services at weekly campus-wide at-risk student review meetings, and assist students and stakeholders with navigation of student medical leave procedures and overall resource coordination.

Support Division of Student Affairs needs, such as New Student Orientation (June) & New Student Arrival (August), as well as Departmental, Division- and University-wide administrative initiatives.

Pursue Opportunities for Further Professional Development, including completion of “supervised practice” hours and preparation for licensing exam.

Minimum Qualifications:

Please Note: Applicants must have completed their dissertation prior to starting the post-doctoral fellowship.

Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) or Counseling Psychology (Ph.D. or Ed.D.) from an APA-accredited program, and license-eligible (with the exception of any post-doctoral hours).

Completion of an APA-accredited internship program.

Minimum of 1-2 years’ experience with assessment and treatment of college student population, as well as campus-based consultation and outreach.

The finalist will be required to successfully complete a background check.
