The Center for Management for ADHD is committed to conducting innovative research, providing interprofessional training, and offering clinical services for children and adolescents. A major focus on the research conducted through the Center is based in schools and primary care and is designed to improve student success in school.
Positions: We anticipate 2 post-doctoral positions available for the 2017-2018 academic year,
pending funding. The fellows will play a leadership role in a randomized controlled trial (Goal 3) funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). The fellows’ responsibilities include training, consulting with, and coaching school partners in implementing a group organizational skills training intervention for elementary school students (grades 3-5). The fellows will also have the opportunity to deliver the organizational skills intervention to small groups of students. The fellowship will focus on acquisition of clinical and research skills related to school-based intervention, organizational skills training for children, and training and consultation provided to elementary school personnel. The fellows will have the opportunity to contribute to grant writing and dissemination activities (i.e., presentations at local and national meetings, manuscript preparation). The two-year fellowship is designed to prepare fellows to apply for licensure in psychology.
Start Date and Salary: September 1, 2017, pending final funding decision; the expectation is that the fellow will commit for two years. Salary is based on the NIH rate.
Qualifications: Applicants should have a Ph.D. in clinical child or school psychology from an APA-accredited doctoral program. Prior experience with behavioral intervention and school-based consultation is preferred. Strong interest in school-based mental health is preferred.
