Ramous Psychology & Associates
Postdoctoral Position for the 2024-2025 year
POSITION DESCRIPTION: The Postdoctoral position is conceptualized as one consecutive full-time (40hr/week), 12 month position that typically begins and ends at the end of August/early September of the 2024-2025 year. Depending on goals and performance, a postdoctoral trainee may be afforded the opportunity for a second year position or an extension to the first year. The position is designed for recent graduates of a clinical, counseling or school psychology program who are seeking licensure and interested in receiving supervised experience in a group private practice environment.
Under the supervision of licensed psychologists, the postdoctoral trainee provides direct clinical services to clients in the community. This position provides training in the assessment of the full range of neurobehavioral/developmental disorders including attention disorders, autism spectrum disorders, psychological disorders, learning disorders and giftedness. Common clinical populations include learning disabilities, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety and Mood Disorders. The position also provides training in evidence based psychotherapy treatments to children, adolescents and adults, with the option to specialize in children and adolescents. The majority of referrals come from Family Practice Physicians, Psychiatry, Neurology, as well as other local mental health providers.
At Ramous Psychology & Associates, we are committed to the concept of excellence in training within a multidisciplinary training environment. A postdoctoral trainee will work in close collaboration with Clinicians of the practice and perform many of the same responsibilities. As per regulations by the Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology, the postdoctoral trainee will receive a minimum of 1 hour per week of individual supervision and 1 hour a week of group supervision from licensed psychologists until such time as they become licensed. It is expected that a trainee will pursue and achieve licensure during their training, typically by the end of the first year. Subsequent to the granting of the license, the trainee will continue to receive supervision and oversight by the primary and delegated supervisors.
Compensation for this position will be discussed in more detail during the interview process.
