The Sierra Pacific Mental Illness, Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC) of the VA Palo Alto Health Care System is accepting applications for our 2-year postdoctoral fellowship in Advanced Psychology. The fellowship offers intensive training in clinical research, (including direct service activities with clients), education and professional development activities (75% time); 25% is dedicated exclusively to placement in direct service settings where clinical skills are honed and refined. Our fellowship is organized around two primary areas of emphasis: 1) traumatic stress disorders (PTSD; and 2) aging / dementia. This year, applicants with research interests and experience in aging / dementia are especially encouraged to apply. Fellows are offered strong mentoring to help them develop advanced expertise in clinical research methodologies and content areas most pertinent to the mental health needs of today’s veterans. We are an equal opportunity training site and encourage and welcome applications from all qualified applicants. US citizenship is required. Applications are due January 5, 2012. Contact Julie Weitlauf, Ph.D (Julie.Weitlauf@va.gov; 650 493 5000, x23429) for program information and application materials.
