Early Career Opportunity – SUMMER 2011

The APA Society of Clinical Psychology (APA Division 12) offers an annual summer program to recognize and mentor an early career scientist-practitioner in clinical psychology.  Each summer, Division 12 finances a post-doctoral summer research experience with a prominent clinical psychologist on a particular subject or theme.

We are pleased to announce that in 2011 an opportunity exists to engage in cutting-edge research on self-help at the University of Scranton. A total of 4K and campus lodging will be provided for use as the rising star deems appropriate.  The research will build on the existing research program of Dr. John C. Norcross, Professor of Psychology and Distinguished University Fellow.  His research seeks to identify evidence-based self-help resources (computer programs, books, autobiographies, movies, websites) for dozens of clinical disorders and life challenges.  The position would entail two months of full-time work, during June, July and August of 2011.

Nominations should be from a D12 member or a clinical psychologist who is willing to become a member. Nominations must include a CV, one letter of endorsement, and a cover letter outlining interest in and qualifications for the program.  Nominees must have earned a doctorate in clinical psychology within the past 10 years. Self-nominations are encouraged.

Previous research experience with self-help, self-administered treatments, or Internet survey methods is particularly welcomed.

Please submit nomination materials electronically to Rising Star Program at div12apa@comcast.net The deadline is January 15^th.  Inquiries should be directed to the Division 12 Central Office at 303-652-3126 or div12apa@comcast.net
