We are no longer accepting applications for the 2007-2008 academic year. We will begin accepting applications for the 2008-2009 academic year beginning this fall.
The Psychopathology Research Unit (PRU) in the psychiatry department of the University of Pennsylvania offers 2 to 3 postdoctoral research fellowships each academic year. The PRU is the parent organization of the Center for the Treatment and Prevention of Suicide. These postdoctoral positions suit applicants who are interested in developing as clinical researchers and cognitive therapists. Successful candidates have the opportunity to engage in the various ongoing research projects involving the basic science and efficacy of cognitive therapy, interventions with suicide attempters, including special populations such as older men and attempters with comorbid substance abuse, and cognitive therapy for borderline personality disorder. The postdoctoral fellows receive individualized supervision in applied clinical research. In addition, they have the opportunity to participate in the clinical and research seminars, workshops, and conferences at the Center for Cognitive Therapy at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Beck’s live interviews conducted at The Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research. Individualized clinical supervision in cognitive therapy is also available. We are interested in applicants who have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent in psychology or other related field. Candidates should have already received training in cognitive therapy and applied research methodology. Aaron T. Beck, M.D. |
