Postdoctoral Fellowship in Child and Adolescent
Anxiety/Depression Research
University of Miami
The University of Miami PEERS Project and the Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety
Treatment (CAMAT) Program at the University of Miami are actively seeking a postdoctoral
scholar-clinician to meaningfully contribute to our clinical research investigations and ongoing
youth services for a one- to two-year fellowship to begin in Summer 2014 (date TBD). The
selected postdoctoral fellow would contribute to an NIMH-funded clinical trial for the prevention
of social anxiety and depression in adolescents (PEERS Project) and to evidence-based
assessment and treatment services to youths and their families experiencing primary anxiety and
depressive disorders (CAMAT). As a postdoctoral fellow, major opportunities exist for grant
writing, publications and overall experience with the conduct of clinical prevention and
intervention trials.
Candidates for this postdoctoral fellowship must have a completed PhD or PsyD in Clinical or
Counseling Psychology or provide documentation that they are on track to complete all doctoral
requirements for the PhD/PsyD prior to the fellowship start date. They also must have prior
experience in the cognitive behavioral treatment of anxious and/or depressed youth. Strongest
preference will be given to those with an interest in pursuit of a research-oriented career in
clinical science and those with a strong background in clinical research, grantsmanship, statistics
and/or a competitive publication history. However, those with a more strongly clinical interest in
the population will also be considered.
Candidates should send a statement of interest and current CV and arrange for the receipt of at
least two letters of recommendation via email ASAP to either (a) Jill Ehrenreich-May, Ph.D.,
Associate Professor and Director, Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program
at the University of Miami at j.ehrenreich@miami.edu or (b) Annette La Greca, PhD, ABPP,
