Psychology Fellowship
Viewed
as emerging professional colleagues, psychology fellows are given the support
and training necessary to further specialize in psychological service delivery
within a university mental health setting. Within their full-time commitment
to CAPS, fellows participate in all areas of clinical, administrative and
training functions of the agency.
Fellows are encouraged to be actively involved in designing components of
their training program to meet their individual needs. Fellows are encouraged
to work with their supervisors and the Director of Training to identify and
develop particular areas of individual interest and skill.
Clinical activities include the following:
intake assessment, crisis intervention (On-Call Counselor), ongoing brief
and longer-term individual psychotherapy, couples counseling (when possible)
and group psychotherapy. Outreach activities include provision of presentations
and university consultation/liaison services. Fellows participate with staff
in regularly scheduled staff meetings and professional development seminars.
Further, when possible, fellows are given the opportunity to participate in
the administrative planning of the agency by providing leadership to identified
service delivery programs (e.g., chairing/co-chairing a service delivery team
such as outreach). In addition to providing didactic seminars to various training
groups at CAPS, fellows are given the opportunity to facilitate process-oriented
training modules and supervise individual trainees whenever possible.
The training component of this full-time
position will include weekly individual face-to-face supervision, individual
supervision for group therapy, and individual supervision for other clinical
as well as outreach/programmatic opportunities listed above.
It is preferred that candidates have completed all requirements for a doctorate
in counseling or clinical psychology from an APA-approved program; however,
candidates who are ABD will also be considered. Applicants must have successfully
completed an APA-approved internship by July 31, 2008. Previous training in
university counseling center settings, clinical supervision and multicultural
counseling is preferred. Further, experience with consultation/outreach with
diverse university populations is also highly desired.
The post-doctoral fellowship begins on August 1, 2008 and ends on
July 31,
2009. We offer a competitive stipend and benefits. Review of applications
will begin on February 12th and will continue until the two positions are
