APA Accredited Postdoctoral Fellowship in Clinical Child Psychology

The University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry and Postdoctoral Training Network welcomes applications for a two-year APA-accredited postdoctoral fellowship in Clinical Child Psychology. The program offers a research mentorship model. This year, opportunities are available for fellows with expertise in any of the following areas:

(1) perinatal, infant and early childhood mental health (Zero to Thrive),

(2) youth depression and suicide prevention (YDSP), or

(3) Child OCD and Anxiety Disorders (COAP).

In addition to focused research mentorship, the program provides evidence-based clinical training and a core curriculum. Our fellowship focuses on building knowledge and skills that help prepare fellows for a career as a scientist-practitioner. Clinical training occurs in a variety of specialty child psychiatry outpatient clinics (e.g., Trauma and Grief, Infant and Early Childhood, Parent Management Training, OCD and Anxiety, etc.) and may be supplemented with an optional short eating disorders rotation. Please refer to the brochure on our website for further information.
