Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neuroscience Clinical Psychology Training Program

October 30, 2023

Dear applicants:

Congratulations on being at this point in your graduate training! Thank you for your interest in the  Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program  at the  University of Chicago Medicine.  We are pleased to provide you with our updated 2024-25 information. We are listed in the Universal Psychology Postdoctoral Directory ( https://www.appic.org/Postdocs/Universal-Psychology-Postdoctoral-Directory-UPPD ) and will abide by APPIC Selection Standards for the 2024-25 training year. 

Our clinical psychology fellowships are a component of the larger Clinical Psychology Training Program based in the Adult and Child Sections of the  Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience  at the University of Chicago. Our training program includes psychology externships in many different areas, an APA-accredited clinical psychology doctoral internship, and postdoctoral fellowships in psychology. Thus, clinical psychology has been an important component of departmental training for many years and is integrated within the interdisciplinary educational mission of the Department and the larger Medical Center. Our fellowships are designed to train health service psychologists for entry-level practice in academic settings in the specialized areas of health psychology, pediatric and child clinical psychology, trauma, and neuropsychology. The hallmarks of our program include evidence-based approaches to assessment, consultation, and intervention, and the integration of science and practice. While our programs do include some specific requirements, we attempt to meet our fellows’ specific training goals in order to best prepare for an academic clinical career. Ample supervision is available with opportunities to attend didactics with other trainees. We believe that we offer a challenging and supportive setting for obtaining fellowship training in Clinical Psychology.

Our annual stipend is consistent with NIH salary guidelines for postdoctoral training ($56,484) and is offered as part of a comprehensive package of benefits. For the 2024-25 training year, we will offer fellowship positions in two tracks.

Our application deadline is  Thursday, December 15, 2023 (11:59 EST). We will be using the APPA CAS portal for application submission and review.

Application: Our program requires a CV, cover letter, and transcript submitted through APPA CAS.

References. We require three letters of recommendation. If you are on internship and your internship Training Director (TD) is not one of your letter writers, we require a separate letter from your Internship Training Director (TD) indicating that you are on track to complete the internship program. If your TD is one of your existing references, this issue may be addressed in the recommendation letter

You will be contacted by email if you are selected for a virtual interview for all our fellowship programs. Interviews will occur on Thursdays January 18th and January 25th, 2024. We intend to follow the APPIC Selection Standards. Applications for positions that remain open after the Common Hold Date (2/26/24) will be reviewed on a rolling basis until filled.

Before deciding to apply to our program, please review our materials very carefully. You might also find it useful to review our internship brochure to learn more about our department, our training philosophy, our faculty, and available didactics. Our fellows’ clinical experiences are distinct from those of interns and internship rotations are not available to fellows, although there may be some overlap. We want you to fully appreciate the structure of our Department within which our clinical psychology training programs are embedded. We hope that you will apply to our fellowship because you believe it is a “great fit” with your long-term career goals. We will provide you with appropriate supervision, mentorship, and support for your professional development as a health service psychologist who is able to integrate science and practice in an academic environment.

We wish you luck as you complete your degree! We look forward to reviewing your application and possibly meeting you “in person.” Feel free to contact us by email if you have further questions.

Although the COVID-19 public health emergency ended earlier this year, we are aware that the pandemic has had significant effects on health service psychology education and training. We continue to respond to the level of risk posed by COVID-19 with the safety of our trainees, staff, faculty, and patients as our paramount concern, while continuing to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We are grateful for the scientific strides that have contributed to a greater understanding of the disease and the availability of vaccination. All employees at UCM are required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 and influenza (with medical or religious exemptions available in rare circumstances). Our program is primarily in person and on site, although we do offer the flexibility of telehealth to patients who request these services. These telehealth visits are usually provided from on site, although some hybrid work may be possible. We provide didactics and supervision in person unless video formats are indicated for convenience, flexibility, and/or safety. In order to facilitate interprofessional collaboration, socialization among trainees and with our faculty, development of a support system for our trainees, and a general sense of community, we currently require trainees and faculty to be on site for a minimum of three days per week, with most trainees on site every day. Our training program, department, division, and institution follow infection control procedures and national and state regulations as informed by science and safety. We are committed to maintaining the integrity of our training program and the acquisition of profession-wide competencies while balancing the safety of our trainees, faculty, and patients. Over the past three years, we learned that it is impossible to have definite expectations for the future, and we recognize that ongoing flexibility and creativity is necessary.

The Adult Section of the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Chicago is offering a 1-year postdoctoral fellowship in Clinical Health Psychology. The successful candidate will spend the equivalent of 2 days delivering evidence-based treatment to patients in our integrated primary care clinic in the Department of Medicine where diverse patients receive assessment, intervention, and consultation services. The fellow will select an additional day-long or equivalent health psychology rotation in pain, oncology, psychogastroenterology, or reproductive behavioral health. Finally, the fellow will spend a half day providing clinical services to patients in our general adult psychiatry outpatient clinic. The exact nature of the fellow’s responsibilities will be individually determined based on interest, skills, and future career goals. 

In addition to several hours of individual supervision, the fellow may attend didactics with other psychology and psychiatry trainees within the department as well as in other departments/sections of the institution. Opportunities are available to develop teaching/training skills by participating in the provision of supervision to psychology externs and working on program development and evaluation. Further, the equivalent of one day may be devoted to research or program development using existing data or involving development of a new project. These experiences will meet the criteria for license eligibility in Illinois. The development of clinical, educational, and research skills in a multidisciplinary environment will prepare the fellow for a career in an academic medical center. Please note that your university-based graduate program in health service psychology and your doctoral psychology internship must be accredited by the American Psychological Association. Please review our website for more information: https://psychiatry.uchicago.edu/clinical-psychology-fellowship-program .

If you are on an internship and your internship Training Director (TD) is not one of your letter writers, we require a separate letter from your Internship Training Director (TD) indicating that you are on track to complete the internship program. If your TD is one of your existing references, this issue may be addressed in the recommendation letter.

We will be using the APPA CAS portal for application submission and review. Applications are due by December 15, 2023 (11:59 EST) and should be uploaded to APPA CAS.  Materials should be addressed to: Shona Vas, PhD, ABPP ( [email protected] ) Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience Director, Clinical Psychology Training & Cognitive-Behavior Therapy Program

  • Postdoctoral Program

Postdoctoral Fellows are typically recent Ph.D. recipients who want to further their research careers by working in the labs of faculty members with complementary research interests.  These Fellows are usually invited by a Harvard faculty member to work in their lab. Candidates must have completed all of the requirements for the Ph.D., including thesis defense, before they can begin their appointment at Harvard. Postdoctoral Fellow appointments at Harvard University are yearly appointments, renewable for up to a maximum of 3-5 years.

Several of our faculty members have grants to support Postdoctoral Fellows. When these positions become available, they are advertised on our Psychology Department website and in the various online bulletin boards maintained by psychology journals, such as the American Psychological Society's  Observer  or the American Psychological Association's  Monitor .  

Several Postdoctoral Fellows come to Harvard with their own fellowship awards. These Fellows are usually divided into two groups. One group has fellowships that are administered through Harvard (e.g.,  NRSA  awards and other U.S. Federal awards) with one of the Harvard faculty members acting as the Principal Investigator. The other group has fellowships (usually through foreign institutions) that are paid directly to the Postdoctoral Fellow and are not administered through Harvard.  

Postdoctoral Fellows with funding administered through Harvard are eligible for benefits. The benefits payment structure can vary depending on whether the Fellow is paid from a faculty member's grant or from a fellowship. Benefits include 4 weeks of paid vacation, health insurance, dental insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, contributory life insurance, and tuition assistance. In addition, Postdoctoral Fellows, like all Harvard University employees, can purchase athletic stickers, discounted  MBTA  passes, and have access to a broad range of perks offered through Harvard University. 

The Department of Psychology sits within the Division of Social Science, which is strongly committed to creating and supporting a diverse workforce. Respect and fairness, kindness and collegiality, and trust and transparency are among the values we espouse and promote in our workplace culture. We work hard to ensure a healthy, inclusive and positive environment where everyone does their best work in support of Harvard’s mission. For more on our commitment to diversity, including, and belonging, see our departmental DIB Call to Action .

If you have questions regarding postdoctoral appointments, please contact Cass Ranno  in the Psychology Department Administrative Office. 

Harvard is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, protected veteran status, disability, genetic information, military service, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions, or other protected status.

Students showing happiness

Finding scholarships intended for graduate psychology students is the easy part! Speak with your academic advisors and mentors for any related opportunities. Be aware of the financial support options that your area of research has .

It also pays to maintain memberships in both the American Psychological Association and the American Psychology Foundation. Attend conferences to see what topics and lines of research are most successful within the organization and without. This is one of the best strategies for targeting a specific scholarship and preparing to win it!

Admission Requirements and Process

The Department of Psychology at the University at Buffalo uses a holistic admissions process in our consideration of applications.  This means that we evaluate the entire application, rather than any single indicator or a few indicators. Thus, applicants are viewed as a whole person, the sum of their experiences, accomplishments, and aspirations. Consistent with this, we do not rely on or use “cut offs” for numerical indices of an academic record such as grade point average. A holistic approach also means that a candidate who may be less strong in some areas, can still have a highly competitive application by having greater strength in other areas. All elements of an application are taken into consideration, to maximize a good fit of the applicant with our training program and potential mentors, to reduce bias that can result from reliance on a limited number of components, and to reduce inequities in access to opportunities for graduate training. 

Over the years, we have learned that a holistic admissions process helps us identify applicants who are likely to succeed in our graduate programs, brings a diversity of experience and ideas into our academic community, and supports a fair review of all applicants. Our goal is to recruit the next generation of academic psychologists who are passionate about making new discoveries and generating new knowledge in their chosen discipline.  We expect students to bring hard work, professional ambition, resilience, grit, intellectual acumen, and enthusiasm to our graduate programs.

Although we value quantitative criteria like GPA, we take a broad view of academic excellence and recognize that indices of success in our graduate programs and professional achievement cannot be reduced to numbers alone. In short, we endeavor to balance quantitative and qualitative indices of success. Because we want to give students the greatest opportunity to thrive in our program, we place a strong emphasis on fit with our programs and potential faculty mentors. A highly qualified applicant may not be strongly considered if their interests and goals do not provide a good fit with the orientation of our training program or with faculty research interests. Accordingly, we consider the following components in our admissions decisions: personal statement, undergraduate transcript and GPA (and prior graduate record if applicable), letters of recommendation, and resume/research experience. Interviews are required for applicants to the Behavioral Neuroscience, Clinical, and Social-Personality doctoral programs, and our MA programs in General Psychology; interviews are not required for applicants to the Cognitive Psychology doctoral program. After initial review of applications, the selected applicants to programs requiring an interview will be contacted by prospective advisors to set up an interview time.

Schomburg statements are optional for applicants to our doctoral programs interested in being considered for a Schomburg Fellowship. These statements are not used for admissions decisions.

Clinical PhD Program:

Components of the application and how they are used, personal statement (required).

Helps contextualize the more quantitative and objective credentials of an applicant.  The statement is used to evaluate the applicant’s goals and fit with the program and research interests of the faculty as well as how they would contribute to the diversity of thought and perspectives.

Prompt for Personal Statement (1000 words or less):

Describe the area of research you are interested in pursuing during your graduate studies and explain how our program would help you achieve your intellectual goals. The statement should include your academic background, intellectual interests and training or research experience that has prepared you for our program. The statement should also identify specific faculty members whose research interests align with your own interests.

Submitting Personal Statement:

Uploaded as part of the online application.

Transcript and GPA (required)

Provides evidence that the applicant is seeking challenging coursework, while excelling and showing academic growth. The University at Buffalo requires an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher.  However, applications with an undergraduate GPA below 3.0 can still be considered, particularly when other components of the application are strong (e.g., a high graduate GPA, etc.). 

Submitting transcripts:

Upload scanned copies of all undergraduate and graduate transcripts as part of your online application.  Include the English translation, if applicable. 

Letters of recommendation (3 required):

Provides a third-party endorsement of the applicant’s attributes, ability to succeed in the graduate program, and potential to contribute to the field.  The letter offers a perspective on the applicant’s prior achievements and potential to succeed, along with concrete examples of the subjective traits described in other elements of the application.

Submitting Letters:

Letters must be submitted electronically. Further instructions are included in the online application.

Resume and research experience (required):

Provides information on how the applicant has practically applied ideas and concepts learned in the classroom. It helps show that applicants possess the skills and dispositions needed to conduct extensive research and make substantive contributions to their chosen field.

Submitting resume

Interviews are a way for programs to get to know applicants as a person.  They provide a qualitative means of: (a) contextualizing quantitative and objective credentials, and (b) evaluating how well an applicant’s goals and training needs fit with the program and potential mentors. In addition, the Clinical PhD program also uses the interview to evaluate suitability for clinical work.

Schomburg Statement (optional Applications to our doctoral program):

What is a schomburg fellowship.

A Schomburg Fellowship offers support for students in doctoral programs who can demonstrate that they would contribute to the diversity of the student body, especially those who can demonstrate that they have overcome a disadvantage or other impediment to success in higher education. In order to be eligible for the Schomburg Fellowship, you need to be either a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident and have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or above. 

Here is a link to more information about Schomburg Fellowships.

https://arts-sciences.buffalo.edu/current-students/funding-your-degree/graduate-awards-fellowships/schomburg-fellowship.html

The Schomburg statement provides useful information in helping the faculty decide whether to nominate an applicant for the Schomburg Fellowship.

Schomburg Statement:

If you would like to be considered for a Schomburg Fellowship, please  upload a written statement with your online application  (maximum of 500 words) describing how you will contribute to the diversity of the student body in your graduate program, including by having overcome a disadvantage or other impediment to success in higher education.  Please note that such categorical circumstances may include academic, vocational, social, physical or economic impediments or disadvantaged status you have been able to overcome, as evidenced by your performance as an undergraduate, or other characteristics that constitute categorical underrepresentation in your particular graduate program such as gender or racial/ethnic status.
