We are accepting applications for the 2027 training year for the following positions:
- 2-year Emory Healthcare Veterans Program (EHVP) Clinical Fellowship
- 2-year Dual EHVP + Psychedelic Therapy Clinical Research Fellowship
EHVP Clinical Fellowship: The EHVP clinical fellowship provides advanced clinical training to prepare fellows to assume a variety of roles as professional psychologists, with in-depth training in serving the mental health needs of our nation's military and veteran population. Fellows obtain outstanding training in the practice of clinical psychology under the direction of Drs. Barbara O. Rothbaum and Sheila A. M. Rauch. EHVP provides a two-week intensive outpatient treatment program (IOP) for post-9/11 active-duty military service members and veterans struggling with conditions including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, co-occurring substance use disorders (SUD), military sexual trauma (MST), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Fellows practice within an interdisciplinary team, train within a scientist-practitioner framework, contribute to the leading edge of clinical care, and are valuable members of our treatment team. Fellows receive cutting-edge clinical training in massed evidence-based treatments including Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy and Unified Protocol (UP), as well as evidence-based intake assessments including the CAPS-5-R and DIAMOND. Fellows receive ample supervision and consultation given our team approach to patient care, including individual and group supervision, as well as formal trainee didactics. Additional clinical training opportunities include massed transdiagnostic exposure therapy group and individual SUD interventions.
Dual EHVP + Psychedelic Therapy Clinical Research Fellowship: Dual fellows split their time between EHVP clinical training (50%) noted above and Psychedelic Therapy Clinical Research (50%). Psychedelic clinical research components will include involvement on DoD Funded Clinical Research investigating MDMA assisted massed exposure therapy for PTSD, and funded research investigating psilocybin support for PTSD as well as psilocybin assisted massed exposure therapy for PTSD. The fellow would be involved in study assessments and treatment and would also be involved in data analysis and publications and have opportunities for grantsmanship if interested. Data components being collected in the studies include brain imaging paradigms, psychophysiology (including fear potentiated startle model of fear extinction learning, blood-based biomarkers, and self-reported and clinical variables. The fellow would also have access to many large clinical research datasets for potential secondary analysis. We are members of the Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality (https://psychedelics.emory.edu) with many ongoing collaborations. As such, there are opportunities to collaborate in this research as well, including in areas of diversity considerations within psychedelic care, spiritual health informed psychedelic care, assessing and tracking diverse events within psychedelic use, and many other emerging areas.
Stipend: $63,480; updated in line with changes to the NIH postdoctoral fellow stipend levels. Fellows also typically have access to professional development funds for licensure, training, and conferences.
Applications should be submitted online through APPA CAS by Monday December 1, 2026. Applicants are invited to apply for one or both tracks. For more information, please review our program description in the APPIC Universal Psychology Postdoctoral Directory.
