Fringe Benefits
The basic salary level for a current first-year postdoctoral fellow (2023-2024) is $65,000, full-time equivalent. Funding for military personnel or candidates with external federal or grant support will be approved at the level authorized by the funding agency so long as that amount exceeds the basic stipend level. Benefits include medical/dental insurance, 20 vacation and 5 professional leave days, and 10 hospital holidays yearly.
Research opportunities
The research rotation allows fellows the opportunity to participate in ongoing research projects in the Division of Developmental Medicine (DDM) and/or quality improvement efforts. Fellows are matched with research advisors from the DDM faculty. Along with developmental-behavioral pediatrics fellows, psychology fellows participate in research seminars comprising didactic sessions, journal club, and skills training in research design, methods, and analysis. Additional activities include attending lectures in the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience (LCN) directed by Charles Nelson, PhD. Based on availability of research grants, a psychology fellow may elect to spend a second year in ongoing clinical research projects and/or define a discrete project that can be completed within a fellowship year. Research projects in the DMC encompass topics and methods in basic science, translational, clinical, and health services research. There are methodologists and statisticians available to assist in planning studies and analyses, and when financially feasible, research assistants may be assigned to help with aspects of research. Research computers and standard statistical software are available for use by fellows in all programs. Please see the following for information regarding research studies in the division: https://www.childrenshospital.org/research/divisions/developmental-medicine-research/developmental-research-program.
