Psychology postdoctoral fellowship program

Our program provides advanced clinical training opportunities at three Sacramento County Division of Mental Health clinical programs affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences: an adult inpatient psychiatric hospital, an adult outpatient clinic, and a children’s outpatient clinic.  For the 2013-2014 academic year, the Department is pleased to openings for three postdoctoral clinical fellowships beginning on September 16, 2013 and ending on September 15, 2014.  Of the three openings, we will be interviewing for one adult and two child fellows.  Fellows will receive training in assessment, consultation, individual therapy, and group therapy, depending upon the specific fellowship.  If qualified, fellows may be able to place major emphasis on either adult or child psychology, with minor emphasis in another area. The stipend for all three fellowships will be $40,000 plus competitive university benefits.  The positions will remain open until filled, with an application deadline of January 4, 2013.  Early application is encouraged, and applications will be reviewed as they are received.
