Application Information

    Our application process is competitive. We will consider applicants who have completed APA/CPA-approved doctoral programs in a relevant area of psychology (usually clinical psychology), and an APA/CPA accredited clinical predoctoral internship. If possible, use the taxonomy to describe your graduate work and internship (e.g., a Major Area of Study or Emphasis).

    Competitive applicants are well-rounded clinicians in the scientist-practitioner tradition who demonstrate:

    • Strong prior training in neuropsychology including graduate coursework and clinical didactics in neuropsychology. In addition to core clinical psychology training, applicants should have completed two or more year-long practica/externships and substantial internship rotation(s) in neuropsychology. Please be sure to describe your neuropsychology training experiences clearly in your application.
    • A clear focus on working with children and adolescents. If you trained at lifespan sites, please indicate the approximate percent time with children/adolescents.
    • A record of meaningful participation and productivity in research. In addition to completion of an empirical dissertation and formal coursework in statistics and research methods, competitive candidates have a record of multiple peer-reviewed, empirical publications and presentations, strong skills in statistical analysis, and an interest in conducting research on postdoc and beyond.
    • A commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. We celebrate diversity in our trainees and our colleagues at all levels, promote cultural competence and seek applicants who will value and contribute to our work with diverse and underserved populations.
