ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for 2020-2022

The Center for Management of ADHD at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has one post-doctoral fellowship position available for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years. The two-year fellowship is designed to prepare fellows to further develop their research skills and complete their clinical training for licensure in psychology. 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.

The fellow will play a leadership role in a randomized controlled trial (Goal 3) funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). The fellow’s 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 fellow 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 to elementary school personnel. The fellow will have the opportunity to contribute to grant writing and dissemination activities (i.e., presentations at national meetings, manuscript preparation).

The expected start date is August 1, 2020. The expectation is that the fellow will commit for two years. Salary is based on the NIH rate.

Applicants should have a PhD 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.
