Universal Psychology Postdoctoral Directory

The Department of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, invites applications for a post-doctoral position in the POWER Early Bipolar Disorder coordinated specialty care (CSC) treatment program. The successful candidate will become part of a multi-disciplinary CSC program that provides assessment and intervention to individuals in the early stages of bipolar disorders. The program is led by Daniel Allen, Ph.D., and aims to identify, assess, and treat individuals who have recently met diagnostic criteria for a bipolar disorder in order to (1) delay and mitigate the deleterious clinical and social outcomes associated with bipolar disorders and (2) reduce the societal and economic burdens produced by lengthy durations of untreated illness. 

The Post-Doctoral Fellow will provide evidence-based assessment and intervention services to program clients, help coordinate outreach and referral activities, provide supervision to CSC trainees, and complete other related responsibilities. The position is a minimum of two years. Salary range is between $60,000 and $65,000 per year depending on experience, and the position includes health insurance, retirement, annual and sick leave, and other benefits. In addition, the post-doctoral fellow will have the opportunity to gain the requisite supervised clinical hours for licensure in Nevada. 

Applicants must have a doctorate in Clinical, Counseling or School Psychology from an APA-accredited training program. Preferred qualifications include experience providing evidence-based assessment and intervention services to individuals with early serious mental illness in the context of an interdisciplinary program. The position starts as soon as possible. 

Address all inquiries to Dr. Allen (daniel.allen@unlv.edu). To apply, email Dr. Allen your CV, names and contact information for three professional references, and a detailed cover letter describing your clinical and research experience, career goals, and other qualifications for the current position. Ask your references to email their letters of support to Dr. Allen. 

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position fills. If we are interested based on your initial application, we will conduct a brief telephone interview. Full virtual interviews will be offered to top candidates.
