About UMass Chan Medical School:
University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School and its clinical partner, UMass Memorial Health, is a thriving academic health care system located in Worcester MA, about an hours drive west of Boston or north of Providence, and about 3.75 hour drive from NYC. The environment provides a highly supportive home for fellows, with opportunities to collaborate with leading researchers and engage in meaningful clinical work.
This 2-year post-doctoral fellowship focuses on suicide prevention across a range of settings, including the emergency department, inpatient medical settings, primary care, and outpatient mental health. This includes developing, studying, and integrating into practice cutting-edge e-health and mhealth technologies, with a strong focus on suicide prevention and substance abuse treatment. Fellows will work on existing NIH-funded clinical and implementation studies and help with grant submissions. Fellows will be actively mentored to develop their own line of independent research, apply for mentored grants (e.g., F32 or K99 to NIH, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention postdoctoral fellowship or early career awards, or other postdoctoral level awards) and have opportunity for publications and presentations. 100% of past fellows have accepted faculty positions upon graduation. Current active research includes NIMH, CDC, NIDA, foundation, and state-funded projects. Applicants with strong methodological, statistical, and quantitative experience are desirable.
Fellows will have opportunities to engage in working with healthcare systems on improving their suicide care pathways and will have opportunities for providing training and education across a range of settings, including within the medical school, graduate school of nursing, and residency programs both at UMass Chan and with other Universities.
Fellows will have the opportunity to accrue supervised clinical hours to qualify for licensure. Fellows are encouraged and supported to obtain their license after their first year of training. Supervisors are committed to evidence-based practice and provide supervision across a variety of empirically supported treatments, including acceptance-based therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, health psychology, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-oriented therapies. Fellows are expected to identify intervention approaches they would like to receive training in and further develop those skills in the care of diverse patients.
How to Apply:
A doctoral degree is required in psychology, public health, epidemiology, or related fields particularly related to mental health and behavioral health. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the positions are filled. Send detailed letter of interest that specifies the fellowship(s) of interest and summarize relevant experiences and career goals, curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference as indicated below. In addition, you must also apply via the UMass Chan Medical Schools Human Resources website: https://www.umassmed.edu/jobs/
