The Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment (CAMAT) Program at the University of Miami is actively seeking a postdoctoral clinician-scholar to meaningfully contribute to our ongoing youth services and clinical research investigations for a two-year fellowship to begin September 1, 2012. The selected postdoctoral fellow would contribute evidence-based assessment and treatment services to youths and their families experiencing primary anxiety and depressive disorders and assist the Director of the CAMAT program in providing clinical and research supervision to doctoral, undergraduate and postbaccalaureate students working with the CAMAT program. In addition, the postdoctoral fellow would assist with the completion of a NIH-funded, randomized, controlled trial of the Unified Protocol for the Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Youth, a transdiagnostic approach to anxiety and depression in adolescence and the startup of another randomized trial of a similar protocol for younger children. As postdoctoral fellow, major opportunities exist for grant writing, publications and overall experience with the conduct of clinical trials.

Candidates for this postdoctoral fellowship must have a completed Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Clinical or Counseling Psychology or provide documentation that they are on track to complete all doctoral requirements for the Ph.D./Psy.D. prior to the fellowship start date, and prior experience in the cognitive behavioral treatment of anxious and/or depressed youth. Strongest preference will be given to those with an interest in pursuit of a research-oriented career in clinical science and those with a strong background in clinical research, grantsmanship, statistics and/or a competitive publication history. However, those with a more strongly clinical interest in the population will also be considered.

Position #040527.
