An immediate opening for a postdoctoral position exists in Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The position involves the provision of individual CBT to adults, consultation and assessment services to larger interdisciplinary treatment teams, involvement in grant-funded research providing individual MI and group CBT for pain management, and engagement in teaching of evidence-based psychotherapies to psychiatric residents. We anticipate this position will be added as a new track within our Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Program in Professional Psychology for the 2019-2020 training year.  

Completion of an APA accredited PhD or PsyD Clinical Psychology program and internship is required. Start date August 1, 2019 (negotiable). Stipend $48,432. Interested applicants should send a letter of interest and curriculum vitae to Sonia Matwin, PhD at sonia.matwin@vumc.org

The Vanderbilt University Department of Psychiatry Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Program in Professional Psychology offers multiple tracks within the clinical and research programs affiliated with the department.  The Fellowship is described in detail in the Vanderbilt University Department of Psychiatry Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Manual which can be downloaded below:

Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Professional Psychology- Training Manual for 2019-2020

The majority of fellows’ time is spent at their primary sites, with one-half day per week (typically on Fridays) spent in collective training activities with other members of the Postdoctoral Fellow cohort and/or with advanced trainees and faculty members in other disciplines, such as psychiatry residents and fellows. These combined training activities include didactic presentations, research seminars, case conferences, and weekly Grand Rounds presentations.

The specific constellation of activities is determined by the primary sites, which are described in detail in the Fellowship Training Manual. However, all tracks include a minimum of two hours of individual weekly supervision provided by a licensed psychologist, a combination of clinical and research activities, and opportunities to specialize in a particular area of intervention.

There are presently three training tracks:

1. Postdoctoral Fellowship in Child Welfare and Trauma-Informed Care at the Vanderbilt Center for Excellence
2. Postdoctoral Fellowship in Psychotic Disorders at the Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital
3. Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Vanderbilt
