Minneapolis VA Health Care System, Postdoctoral Residency Positions in Clinical Psychology (Rehabilitation Psychology, Health Psychology, Serious Mental Illness)

Positions: *** Three one-year full-time positions in Clinical Psychology in the emphasis areas of Rehabilitation Psychology, Primary Care/Health Psychology, and Serious Mental Illness (SMI).

At the same time, we hope to acknowledge the complexities of real patients and the limitations of our empirical base. We aim to produce psychologists who are capable of contributing to the profession by investigating clinically relevant questions through their own clinical research. While individual postdoctoral residents may ultimately develop careers that emphasize one aspect of the scientist-practitioner model more than the other, our expectation is that clinicians will practice from a scientific basis and that scientists will practice with a clinical sensibility. ]
