Postdoctoral Fellowship in Developmental Disabilities Psychology
JFK Partners--The University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) is the major training facility for the Developmental Disabilities Program. The training emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to research, assessment, and intervention, family support, service coordination, and community integration to meet the needs of persons with developmental disabilities. Development of disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise, leadership and consultation skills and research as well as clinical growth is the goals of the postdoctoral training program. The fellow participates in interdisciplinary evaluations, interventions and consultation with a wide range of persons with developmental disabilities of various types and severity levels. The fellow also attends seminars offered at JFK Partners, in the Division of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry, and in the Department of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, and is expected to pursue a research project in developmental disabilities.
The post-doctoral fellowship will include: 50-60% specialized clinical training (assessment, treatment modes, consultation) in developmental disabilities with an emphasis on autism spectrum disorders, 30%-40% research (either independent with mentorship or collaborative), and 10% didactics (seminars, workshops, observations in various settings). There will be an attempt, within these general parameters, to match the training program to your specific learning goals. More information about JFK Partners, particularly regarding the range of clinical, research, and consultation programs available to trainees, is available at http://jfkpartners.org/ .

All post-doctoral fellows are provided with office space and supplies, computers, and computer support (technical support, network access, internet access, software). Fellows are also provided with office supplies, training supplies, and secretarial support. Fellows have access to a wide variety of quality training experiences available on the UCD campus in addition to their core training.

Applicants for our postdoctoral fellowship program must have a doctorate from an APA-accredited Clinical, Counseling or Professional Psychology program and a one-year APA-accredited internship.
