Each postdoctoral fellow will have the unique opportunity to work and live in a truly multicultural environment, while providing a full-range of services typical of a university setting.
Postdoctoral fellows will provide: • brief and longer-term individual psychotherapy to a diverse range of primarily U.S.-born students as they pursue their degrees in veterinary medicine; • psycho-educational and process-oriented group counseling; • program development and outreach programming; • consultation and training regarding student mental health concerns to an international faculty and primarily Kittitian staff; • crisis intervention and on-call services.

Postdoctoral fellows will receive training and supervision designed to prepare them for a broad range of roles within a university counseling center, in addition to meeting all requirements for licensure in most states (1,750 hours).
An extension of the fellowship may be considered in order to accommodate licensing requirements in other locations. Postdoctoral fellows will receive four hours of individual and group supervision per week with a U.S. licensed doctoral-level psychologist. Applicants for the postdoctoral positions must be from an APA-accredited clinical psychology or counseling psychology doctoral program and have completed all degree requirements prior to commencement of fellowship. Selections for these positions are made without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran's status. The stipend for the postdoctoral fellowship year is U.S. $30, 000. U.S. citizens may qualify for the foreign earned income tax exclusion. Each fellow will be provided with the option of a fully furnished rent-free apartment on the RUSVM campus for the duration of the 12-month residency. Up to U.S. $4,000 in relocation costs to/from St. Kitts will be paid by RUSVM. Fellows will receive the same health and dental insurance benefits as regular, full-time faculty. Fellows will have access to all university facilities including library and fitness center. Fellows will receive 30 days of paid time-off per year (including vacation, sick days, and holidays).
Applicants should apply online at www.rossu.edu/careers and search “St. Kitts and “Postdoctoral Fellow”. Please forward a letter of interest, Curriculum Vita, and contact information for four professional references (at least one being from a current supervisor). An official graduate transcript(s) or letter from the director of graduate program verifying completion of all degree requirements will be required on the first day of the fellowship.

For additional information about the postdoctoral fellowship contact Janet Camp, Psy.D., Counseling Center Director at jcamp@rossvet.edu.kn. RUSVM offers the doctor of veterinary medicine degree program. Founded in 1982, RUSVM is accredited by the St. Christopher & Nevis Accreditation Board (www.gov.kn), and the veterinary medical program is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education. RUSVM is affiliated with 22 AVMA-accredited U.S. veterinary schools where students complete their clinical year.

St. Kitts is located in the Leeward Islands at the northern end of the Lesser Antilles, approximately 220 miles southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Together with her sister island, Nevis, they constitute the Federation of St. Christopher and Nevis, an English-speaking member of the British Commonwealth of Nations. The name St. Kitts is short for St. Christopher, the name reputedly given by Christopher Columbus when he first passed through the Caribbean in the 1490s. A volcanic island, St. Kitts is lined by stunning windswept beaches: the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Caribbean to the west. Cooled by trade winds, St. Kitts enjoys an average temperature of just under 80ºF. Due to its abundant forests, fresh water, and fertile, easily worked soil, St. Kitts attracted European settlers and, in 1623, became Britain’s first colony in the West Indies. The culture of St. Kitts combines elements from Africa, Europe and native America. St. Kitts and its sister island, Nevis, gained independence from Britain in 1983, however, British influence is still strongly evidenced in many local customs, including driving on the left and enthusiasm for cricket. The 50-acre RUSVM campus overlooking the Caribbean is a student-focused environment with all the teaching, learning, and laboratory facilities needed for efficient learning. One of the most exciting parts of life at RUSVM is the campus community; currently there are approximately 850 enrolled students and 100 faculty. Students, faculty and staff are drawn from an amazingly diverse group of people. The variety of cultures, personalities, languages and lifestyles that one encounters both on campus and in the St. Kitts community make life at RUSVM and on the island both uniquely rewarding and challenging.

The 50-acre RUSVM campus overlooking the Caribbean is a student-focused environment with all the teaching, learning, and laboratory facilities needed for efficient learning. One of the most exciting parts of life at RUSVM is the campus community; currently there are approximately 850 enrolled students and 100 faculty. Students, faculty and staff are drawn from an amazingly diverse group of people. The variety of cultures, personalities, languages and lifestyles that one encounters both on campus and in the St. Kitts community make life at RUSVM and on the island both uniquely rewarding and challenging.

Experiences are designed to meet INS-Division 40, Houston Conference and ABPP preparation guidelines. Percentage time devoted to clinical and research activities is negotiable; participation in research is a central component of training.
Neuropsychological assessment, consultation and intervention in pediatric oncology, sickle cell disease and HIV/AIDS constitute the clinical experience. These clinical populations present with a wide-range of cognitive difficulties (related to primary diagnosis and/or treatment) including problems in the areas of attention, executive functioning, memory, visuospatial reasoning, sensory/motor functioning and psychosocial adjustment that afford fellows with broad-based training. Minor placements are available at neighboring hospitals for individuals interested in typical learning disability/ADHD, adult or forensic assessments. To foster a developmental lifespan perspective, training in adult and geriatric neuropsychology is integrated into the didactic curriculum. Research focus is on the cognitive sequelae of childhood cancer (birth through young adulthood). Current research opportunities exist in the areas of neurocognition, neuroimaging, genetic risk/resiliency and pharmacological or cognitive interventions.
St. Jude is an internationally recognized leader in research for children with catastrophic illness, including cancer, sickle cell disease/stroke, HIV/AIDS and genetic disorders. For the sixth consecutive year, St. Jude was named as one of the top institutions (second among U.S. institutions) in the Best Places to Work in Academia.

Research initiatives in the Department include: neurocognitive effects and cognitive remediation of childhood cancer and sickle cell disease; psychosocial and complementary interventions for distress reduction, coping and adaptive style, and health promotion in children with cancer, sickle cell disease and HIV/AIDs. The focus of research in the Department is on discovering mechanisms of brain damage and cognitive rehabilitation with the goal of better defining the neurobiological, cognitive and social consequences of childhood brain damage as well as evaluating the efficacy of pharmacological and behavioral interventions designed to improve patients' quality of life. Details of research at SJCRH are available online at: www.stjude.org/sci-rpt.
Benefits are attractive, including 3 weeks vacation, 7 holidays, a generous professional development account, relocation assistance, paid leave to attend conferences and medical, dental and vision coverage.

University Of Minnesota Amplatz Children’s Hospital, Minneapolis, MN, USA - 1 Fellowship in Pediatric Neuropsychology
The Pediatric Neuropsychology unit of the Division of Behavioral Neuroscience provides a diagnostic service for children with complex learning and behavioral disorders, both neurological and neurodevelopmental in etiology. Children are referred by schools, clinics, practitioners in the community, and medical staff at this hospital. This unit serves the community, state, five-state area, and for specific disease entities, the entire country. The clinical orientation of the faculty is developmental. Our approach to neuropsychology is to integrate knowledge from neuropsychological testing with data from neurological, imaging, neurophysiological, and laboratory studies to quantity functional deficits in the context of the central nervous system using a developmental framework.
Clinical Service: Neuropsychological diagnostic services are provided for children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, learning disabilities, developmental aphasia, autism, and intellectual disability, and for neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Tourette Syndrome and other movement disorders, head trauma, sequelae of infectious diseases such as meningitis and encephalitis, neurotoxic conditions, congenital disorders such as agenesis of the corpus callosum and hydrocephalus, degenerative, metabolic, and genetic disorders, CNS effects of cancer and its treatment, and migraine and tension headaches. Opportunities exist for fellows to participate in specialty clinics, including: craniofacial clinic, neonatal follow-up clinic, oncology long-term follow-up clinic, and selected others. Psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and conduct disturbances especially in children with possible attentional and learning difficulties, and somatoform disorders are also commonly seen. For a diagnostic evaluation, cases are scheduled for two half day visits in the Pediatric Neuropsychology clinic. A staffing is done between the two visits to discuss initial data and to plan for the second visit. Many of the cases are also seen by one of the faculty pediatric neurologists.
Our neuropsychology service is an integral member of our multidisciplinary autism center. Interested fellows can develop skills in assessing autism spectrum disorders through training in the administration of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and participation in weekly case conferences with a developmental/behavioral pediatrician, neuropsychologist, and behavioral psychologist.
Goals of the Fellowship: Our mission is to train pediatric neuropsychologists both as practitioners and as scientists. Although the experience is clinically based, it is quite research and academically oriented. This is an expanding field with a rapidly growing knowledge base that is the direct result of advances in technology in imaging, measurement of behavior and cognition, neurophysiology, and genetics. However, the field of pediatric neuropsychology is especially difficult because children are dynamic developing organisms often with different disorders than adults, different effects of abnormal conditions, and with both an increased vulnerability and an increased capacity to recover from disease conditions. Training scientist-practitioners in this field is especially difficult for these reasons, but rewarding in the long term benefits accrued to children from the scientific information and clinical interventions provided. Clinical experience with a wide range of neurodevelopmental and neurologic disorders and establishment of a research direction for the Fellow can only be attained in an intensive two year program that will enable mastery of this large knowledge base.
Responsibilities of the Fellow: In our clinical setting, the Fellow in pediatric neuropsychology is expected to learn to integrate and organize information about the patient including medical and neurological data, neuropsychological assessment, educational information, and interview and history. The focus is not only on cognitive, but on behavioral and emotional aspects of the child's functioning. Both environmental and biological factors are considered in the evaluation of the child in this setting. Thus the Fellow is expected not only to learn the techniques of neuropsychological assessment, but also must be able to assess the emotional and social development of the child through interview and personality assessment techniques, both objective and projective. The Fellow is supervised on every case by a faculty neuropsychologist. The first visit which often consists of an intelligence test and a few other preliminary measures, is most often carried out by a psychometrist. However, the Fellow always carries out the detailed aspects of the evaluation at the second visit. The Fellow, together with the faculty, will, at the end of the second visit, interpret results to the parents, write chart notes, and prepare the report.
