Postdoctoral Fellow in Inpatient Psychology - The Zucker Hillside Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, North Shore LIJ Health System
Postdoctoral Fellow in Inpatient Psychology: We have openings beginning in September 2015 for candidates with strong clinical and interpersonal skills to work in our general adult Acute Care Inpatient Psychiatry units at The Zucker Hillside Hospital of the North Shore-LIJ Health System. The Zucker Hillside Hospital is located on the campus of Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Glen Oaks, New York on the border of Queens and Nassau counties and serves a very diverse patient population.
Candidates must have completed the doctorate in clinical, counseling, or school psychology and be eligible for the Limited Permit in Psychology. We are looking for candidates with internship and externship experiences that emphasize inpatient care of persons with serious mental illness. Clinical duties include individual and group therapy conducted under supervision with a special focus on managing the difficult, aggressive patient in an inpatient milieu setting. Psychological assessments, crisis intervention, behavioral planning, and inter-disciplinary treatment planning will also be emphasized during the year. Strong consideration will be given to those with prior inpatient experience. The ability to work with different disciplines as well as creativity in managing difficult clinical situations will be valued in selecting applicants. Responsibilities and supervision will fulfill criteria for the postdoctoral year of experience necessary for New York State Psychology licensure.
The position includes an annual salary of $37,500 and a generous benefits package which is in place at the beginning of the fellowship year. Groups historically under-represented in Psychology are encouraged to apply. Please submit cover letter, resume, copy of student transcript, and two recommendation letters.
