Postdoctoral Fellowship - University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School

The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School (DMS) and Dell Children’s Medical Center (DCMC) is recruiting for a one-year psychology postdoctoral fellowship in developmental disabilities to begin in 2024. Start date is flexible depending on availability.

This fellowship aims to train clinicians to provide assessment and evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and developmental disabilities, ranging from adjustment difficulties to more chronic medical and psychiatric conditions. Patients come from diverse socioeconomic strata, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. Clinicians evaluate the impact of treatment on patients’ symptoms and functioning using standardized assessment measures and provide feedback to patients and families on their progress.

This postdoctoral fellowship concentration takes place within the Dell Children’s Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics service, a specialty outpatient clinic that provides diagnostic evaluations, consultation, and therapeutic interventions for children with developmental and behavioral concerns. Primary referral concerns typically include autism, developmental delay, ADHD and follow-up for infants and children up to age 14 who are at risk for or demonstrating developmental delays.

This program collaborates with speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists from Dell Children’s Rehabilitative Services, in addition to the psychological services through the Texas Child Study Center. Postdoctoral fellows work as part of an interdisciplinary team to offer a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and monitoring of children with neurobehavioral conditions such as ADHD, autism, speech/language disorders, dyspraxia and developmental delay. The clinic also provides developmental follow-up for NICU graduates and children with Down Syndrome.

Fellows will also learn to use evidence-based interventions, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), as well as cognitive-behavioral interventions for children and their families. They receive live supervision and see preschool and school-age children presenting neurodevelopmental disabilities and co-occurring internalizing or externalizing disorders. In addition to training to provide these interventions, fellows are also expected to engage in collaborative clinical practice and interdisciplinary training with medical residents on rotation.

This fellowship program primarily provides services at DCMC and is housed within the Division of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. The training program was formerly known as Texas Child Study Center (TCSC), which has now become a clinic within the larger training program. TCSC was created to provide pediatric mental health services and training for future clinicians in the Central Texas region and has grown exponentially to now be the primary outpatient mental health clinic at DCMC, serving the larger Austin, TX area.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree in clinical, school, or counseling psychology from an APA-accredited program and have completed an approved internship before the fellowship starts. Given the program’s clinical emphasis, training and experience in providing clinical services to individuals with developmental disabilities, particularly autistic individuals, is required.

A fully completed application includes:
1. A letter of interest indicating the preferred training concentration, specific training goals and interests, and eligibility for post-doctoral fellowship (i.e. APA accredited internship completion date, dissertation status)
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. Three letters of reference.

Completed application (LOI and CV) materials should be submitted in one PDF to our secure UT Box via this link (http://links.utexas.edu/crrkhkw).
