William James College is pleased to announce two (2) postdoctoral training opportunities in assessment and clinical child psychology through the Brenner Center and the Youth and Family Psychotherapy Services. The two (2) Fellowships are full-time and carry a stipend of an annual equivalent of $55,000. The Fellowships will begin September 2nd, 2025, and run through August 29th, 2026. The Brenner Center is a generalized testing center that assesses clients across the lifespan for an array of social/emotional, neurodevelopmental, learning, and attentional disorders. Most of our clients are between the ages of 8 and 24 years, though there are opportunities to work with preschoolers and older adults. We provide weekly didactics, certified training opportunities (ADOS-2 and ADI-R), and numerous opportunities for supervision and feedback from clinical staff. In addition to assessment, there is the option to do individual and group therapy with children and families at our affiliated outpatient psychotherapy clinic. You are also welcome to participate in supervision of interns. Fellows are required to work a minimum of 40 hours per week and will be provided with supervision by experienced, licensed psychologists. We are primarily a diagnostic and assessment agency. As such, postdoctoral fellows will be expected to engage in approximately 60% evaluations, 20% report writing, and 20% therapy services. By the end of the Fellowship year, fellows will have completed 2000 training hours. Applicants must have a PhD/PsyD in psychology with APA-accredited or equivalent predoctoral internship. Child training is required, as is prior testing experience and a foundation with evidence-based treatments, such as CBT.
