Postdoctoral Fellowship in Eating Disorders
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders (CEED) in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine invites applications for a Clinical Post-Doctoral Fellowship Position. This is a full-time, two-year position with a flexible start date of August or September 2019. CEED is an evidence-based program that provides outstanding multidisciplinary inpatient and outpatient care for individuals with eating disorders. The fellow's primary responsibilities will include conducting comprehensive eating disorder evaluations, providing individual and group psychotherapy, and family-based treatment. Advanced training and supervision will be provided on both inpatient and outpatient levels of care. Our training philosophy is based on the scientist-practitioner model: we provide fellows with advanced skills in the practice of psychology and integrate research and clinical services in a specialized eating disorder treatment facility. CEED works with a number of trainees at different levels including graduate students from a variety of disciplines, psychology interns, dietitians, medical students, and residents, offering the opportunity to provide supervision and also collegial interaction with peers. Following the completion of training, the fellow will be prepared to function independently at the assistant professor level within a medical school or other professional setting.
The position will be primarily clinical but research opportunities may be available including access to professional development lectures and journal clubs.
Qualified applicants will have a strong background in Clinical/Counseling Psychology and will have completed their doctoral training and internship at APA-accredited programs by the start of the fellowship year (flexible target of 9/1/2019). The successful candidate will be required to take the EPPP within 2 months of their start date and will become provisionally licensed in NC. A clinical or research background in eating disorders or evidence of dedication to the field of eating disorders is encouraged but not required. Experience with cognitive-behavioral therapy or dialectical behavior therapy is required.
