Postdoctoral Fellowship in School Mental Health
The National Center for School Mental Health in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (Baltimore, MD) invites applications for a full-time, one or two year, post-doctoral fellowship in child and adolescent mental health starting in Summer 2019.
The fellow will be working with faculty and a multidisciplinary team to advance skills in research, training, policy, and practice related to child and adolescent mental health services, with an emphasis on school-based services. This fellowship is supported by federal and state grants and contracts, including a PCORI grant investigating a randomized controlled trial of a school mental health quality and family engagement and a national project evaluating teacher well-being and trauma-informed schools. In addition to collaborating on school mental health research and training activities, the fellowship may include the opportunity for clinical practice in schools, depending on candidates’ interests and experience. Competitive salary and benefits will be provided.
Candidates should have:
• interest in collaborating on research pertaining to local, state and national school mental health systems for children and adolescents
• evidence of research and academic productivity (peer-reviewed publications) and desire to participate in and to lead manuscript development
• strong research and analytical skills, including experience with SPSS
• excellent communication skills, and the ability and desire to represent the National Center for School Mental Health and the University of Maryland School of Medicine
• desire to be involved in the writing of future grant submissions
• interest in developing an independent but compatible research agenda
Applicants must have completed all requirements for the PhD/PsyD from an APA-accredited clinical, school, or counseling psychology program or provide documentation that they are on track to complete all doctoral requirements for the PhD/PsyD prior to the fellowship start date.
Applications can be initiated by sending a CV and a statement of interest to Sharon Hoover, PhD by e-mail shoover@som.umaryland.edu as soon as possible (interviews will occur on a rolling basis). |
