McLean Hospital Full-Time Postdoctoral Fellow in the McLean OCD Institute for Children and Adolescents (OCDI Jr.), Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division, Harvard Medical School
McLean Hospital is seeking to fill a full-time clinical postdoctoral fellowship position in the OCD Institute for Children and Adolescents (OCDI Jr.). The OCDI Jr. is a residential program for children and adolescents ages 12 to 17 who present with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and related disorders. The program provides cutting-edge treatment delivered in a sensitive and nurturing manner. The primary treatments used are Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These evidence-based behavioral treatment approaches have been shown to have a profound and positive impact on the lives of children and adolescents struggling with OCD and related anxiety disorders. The OCDI Jr. accepts insurance and one of only a few programs in the country to provide this form of residential evidence-based treatment for anxious youth. The position is ideal for a post-doctoral fellow with interest in pediatric OCD, anxiety, related evidence-based treatments, and clinical research. The post-doctoral fellow becomes integrated in a dynamic and supportive multi-disciplinary team.
Candidates must have a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from an APA-accredited program and have completed an APA-accredited internship. Strong candidates will have clinical experience with OCD, anxiety and related disorders, and acceptance-based behavior therapy such as ERP and/or ACT.
Qualified women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
