The Department of Psychology at Temple University is seeking an outstanding clinical psychologist to serve as Director of its Psychological Services Center (PSC), the psychotherapy training clinic of the Department's clinical Psychology program. The PSC provides psychotherapy and assessment services to the members of the Temple community and to others seeking services from diverse Philadelphia neighborhoods. Services are provided by doctoral students in the clinical psychology program under the direct supervision of licensed program faculty. The emphasis in the PSC is on the administration of empirically informed psychotherapy and assessment. Responsibilities of the Director include administrative direction and oversight of PSC operations, recruitment and maintenance of a sufficient and diverse client flow, orientation of graduate students to PSC procedure, oversight of the activities of graduate student clinic assistants, and supervision of the clinical activities of a team of 4-5 clinical psychology graduate students each semester and during the summer months. Although there is no imperative for the PSC Director to maintain an active program of personal research, it is expected that he/she will facilitate the research of (and collaborate with) other faculty and doctoral students who may wish to conduct studies within the PSC. Candidates should be license eligible in Pennsylvania and have the experience and training necessary to provide clinical supervision to advanced graduate students. The Director of the PSC will report to the Director of Clinical Training. Preference will be given to candidates with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from an APA-accredited program. Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. All applicants should send a curriculum vita, a statement of interest, and three letters of recommendation to: Chair, PSC Director Search Committee, Department of Psychology, Weiss Hall, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122-6085. Minority and women candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Evaluation of applications will begin on receipt and move forward until the position is filled. Temple University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
The Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Research, & Training Center, PC is offering a clinical/research fellowship in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), starting date negotiable. This is a unique one-year postdoctoral fellowship with possible opportunities for either a second year or transition to a permanent position. The fellowship is intended to be approximately equally split between research activities and clinical work/practice development.
We are a small clinic, research, and training center with two owner/employees (Jason Luoma www.drluoma.com and Jenna LeJeune www.portlandpsychology.com) and one contractor. We run three websites (including www.learningact.com) and Dr. Luoma is grant-funded researcher with contacts at local and national research centers. Drs. Luoma and LeJeune can provide specialty training in addictions, mood disorders, trauma, and eating disorders.
The ideal candidate will have clinical training in ACT, an interest in developing a grant-funded research career, and have demonstrated potential in both areas. The area of specialty within the framework of ACT is open. She/he will need to have an entrepreneurial mindset and openness to risk, in order to do well at this position. Ideally, we are looking for someone who is interested in helping us expand what our center has to offer and who may be interested in continuing this work after the fellowship year is over.
The fellow will learn the ins-and-outs of running a fee-for-service group practice, including marketing and financial operations. She/he will receive two hours per week of expert supervision in ACT, which is sufficient for licensure in Oregon. She/he will learn how to write competitive grant proposals and will participate in analyzing research data, conducting qualitative, single case, and quantitative research, and publishing papers. At least one grant proposal will be written during the year that relates to the fellow’s areas of interest. The fellow will also learn about the use of websites, web 2.0, and remote collaboration/videoconferencing technologies in marketing, training, and research. The fellow will accumulate a small clinical case load that can leave with him/her after the year, if desired.
This fellowship has a great deal of flexibility for the person who wants to build a career around their values and life goals, rather than finding a position that they can fit into. The position will only be filled if we find someone with the right fit. If you think that might be you, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your interest. The details of the position are flexible.
By the way, Portland is a fantastic city that is often ranked as one of the most livable cities in America. We have a vibrant and growing community of ACT clinicians and researchers here.
Minimum requirements: Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. ABD is acceptable. Demonstrated interest in and experience with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and/or other behavior therapies. Demonstrated commitment to research (e.g., at least one peer reviewed empirical publication). Competence with computers and web 2.0 technologies is also desired. Minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
Stipend will be $20,000, a small stipend for education/travel, plus additional income based on clients seen in the clinic (likely $10,000 or more depending upon the clients). Deadline for applications: February 28, 2008.
Email curriculum vitae, a brief statement about why you are interested in this position, and phone numbers to contact three references (no letters needed) to: Jason Luoma, Ph.D., Director, Portland Psychotherapy Clinic, Portland, OR. E-mail: jbluoma@gmail.com.
