Postdoctoral Fellowship, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, Georgia

The Psychology Division of the Department of Psychiatry & Health Behavior is pleased to offer a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The fellowship focuses on advanced clinical training in evidence-based approaches to problems of emotion dysregulation, suicide and self-injury, and substance abuse. The fellow will have opportunities to work with a broad range of clinical populations, such as patients with mood/anxiety disorders, PTSD and other trauma-related problems, borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, and chronic medical illnesses. The fellow will work within our comprehensive outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy program, coordinating referrals/intakes, providing individual DBT to adults and adolescents, leading and/or co-leading adult skills groups and multifamily groups, and participating in the weekly DBT consultation team. The fellow will also have the opportunity for training and supervision in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other behavioral therapies.  Specific clinical experiences will be determined by fellow interest/training needs and funding sources. Additional training experiences may include providing didactics and supervision for psychiatry trainees and psychology interns. The fellow will have shared didactics/seminars with other psychology postdoctoral fellows. The research activities can include research endeavors designed and implemented by the fellow, as well collaborative research with Medical College of Georgia/Augusta University faculty.
