The ideal candidate has experience working with patients across the lifespan, especially with adolescents and families struggling with addiction-related concerns. Applications will be reviewed beginning immediately and will be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled. As part of the growing Addiction Services/Addiction Alliance of Georgia at Emory Healthcare, this position will offer the opportunity to participate in clinical care, education, and research.

Primary roles include provision of patient care to adolescents and families, supervision and teaching within the addiction psychiatry fellowship and psychology training programs, participation in research or quality improvement, and engagement in team-based care.

This position is based at the Emory Addiction Center at Wesley Woods Hospital.

Preferred qualifications:
