Atlanta Psychological Services (private practice), Antlanta, Georgia, USA - Several postdoctoral positions (Testing, Forensic, Autism/Asperger/PDD)

Atlanta Psychological Services, a private practice in Atlanta, Georgia, has opening for several post-doctoral trainees starting in the Summer/Fall of 2012. This is primarily a testing post-doc, although there is limited opportunity for some therapy experience. Evaluations include a wide range of populations - foster children, parental fitness evaluations of the parents of foster children, a variety of other sorts of forensic evaluations (e.g., psychosexuals; custody evaluations; criminal defense; competency; disability; fitness for duty; workers comp evals), neuropsychological evaluations, psychoeducational evaluations, developmental evaluations of infants and young children, as well as general psychological evals referred by a variety of different sources.

There is a strong emphasis on Forensic and Autism/Asperger’s/PDD evaluations, if either of those are one of your areas of interest. We also have Post-docs receive exposure to a very wide range of ages, ethnically diverse clients, and presenting problems, as well as a very wide range of diagnoses. We pride ourselves on writing superior reports, and our expectation is that post-docs come in with solid testing skills and good basic writing skills, with the goal that they become exceptionally good report writers by the time they are finished. Successful applicants with have a solid background in testing and report writing, a desire to strive for excellence, and the ability to quickly learn and integrate new tests into your repertoire.

If you do not foresee yourself enjoying doing a lot of testing, then this is not the right place for you. But if so, and if you want to work in an inviting and warm atmosphere, our pay is competitive. This is a challenging post-doc, but the vast majority of our former trainees have found it to be well worth the challenge!
