The Institute for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity and Behavior Disorders, directed by Howard Abikoff, Ph.D., is offering a full-time, two-year clinical postdoctoral fellowship starting in July or September, 2011. This fellowship provides advanced training in empirically based behavioral interventions under the supervision of Clinical Director Timothy Verduin, Ph.D. The fellow will receive training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and other evidence-based behavior therapy protocols, including an organizational skills training protocol recently developed at the NYU Child Study Center. Since many children with externalizing disorders have difficulty in school settings, the fellow will acquire significant experience with structured behavioral observations, teacher and aide training, and behavioral school consultations. The NYU Child Study Center's status as a world-class center for both research and clinical care affords a rare opportunity: the chance to help our Institute introduce newly minted psychosocial treatments to real-world settings. Although a clinical fellowship, this position will also provide opportunities for involvement in various clinical research projects, as well as to train and teach junior-level psychology trainees.
