Post Doctoral Fellow - Assessment and Empirically Supported Treatments

Post-doctoral Fellowship in Assessment and Empirically Supported Treatments

The Department of Psychology at Emory University is now offering a 12-month post-doctoral fellowship in conducting cognitive assessments and delivering empirically based psychological treatments beginning August 1, 2026. The fellow will be housed in the Emory University Psychological Center, which is a sliding-scale outpatient clinic open to the community. The clinic is located on Emory's main campus in Atlanta, Georgia.

This fellowship is intended for psychologists who have successfully completed an American Psychological Association-approved internship and a Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology and wish to refine their skills in assessment and EBTs. The fellow will report to and work closely with Zainab Delawalla, Ph.D., clinic director, and Hanan Trotman, Ph.D., director of assessment. Full salary and benefits are guaranteed for one year, with an option of renewal for a second year based on the fellow's interests.

Fellowship training emphasizes honing the fellow's assessment skills through conducting comprehensive cognitive evaluations across the developmental spectrum. Typical referral questions include attention and executive function disorders, learning disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, etc. The fellow will also be able to accrue intervention experience through delivering time-limited, empirically supported treatments, including CBT, DBT, ACT, MATCH, etc.

In addition to these clinical responsibilities, a portion of the fellow's time will be dedicated to didactic experiences and training junior-level psychology trainees. The fellow is also expected to contribute to research efforts within the clinic, including participation in external funding applications, study design and implementation, and manuscript preparation.

Completion of a Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from an APA, CPA, or PCSAS accredited program, as well as successful completion of an APA-accredited internship is required. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, independent, and reliable. Publication and grant writing experience is a plus but not required.

Benefits include a beginning salary of $60,000, three weeks of paid vacation, 11 paid Emory holidays, and two paid floating holidays. Benefits also include optional medical/dental, FSA, HSA, and 403b plans.

Fellowship applications are preferred by December 15, 2025, but will be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation, and two deidentified evaluation reports (1 child and 1 adult). Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Position tasks are generally required to be performed in-person at an Emory University location. Remote work from home day options may be granted at department discretion. Emory reserves the right to change remote work status with notice to employee.
