Pediatric Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship

Medical University of South Carolina

The Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) announces 1-2 postdoctoral fellowship positions in pediatric psychology during the 2024-2025 academic year.  The fellowship positions will focus on evidence-based evaluation of children and adolescents, birth through 21 years of age, with a wide range of medically complex and/or neurodevelopmental conditions.  A variety of rotations will be available, depending on the interests of the fellows, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Preschool Evaluation, Sickle Cell Developmental Screening Program, Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Neuropsychological Evaluation. 

The Pediatric Psychology Service in the Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics is an outpatient clinic located in a major medical center that serves a diverse population of patients from a large geographic area (www.musckids.org/developmentalpeds/#about).  The Pediatric Psychology team currently consists of seven licensed psychologists and one licensed psychoeducational specialist.  The team works closely with other allied health professionals to provide comprehensive psychological and medical care to children.  The Pediatric Psychology service also participates in the nationally recognized, APA-accredited Charleston Consortium Psychology Internship Training Program (academicdepartments.musc.edu/psychology_internship/index.htm). 

Pediatric psychology postdoctoral fellows gain experience with a wide variety of populations, including children with developmental disabilities, complex medical and neurological conditions, learning disabilities, attention problems, behavior problems, anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and psychiatric disorders.  Postdoctoral fellows may participate in the South Carolina Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (SC LEND) fellowship program (academicdepartments.musc.edu/sclend/).  Postdoctoral fellows also participate in a bimonthly didactic series and have opportunity to attend psychiatry, pediatric, and/or neuroscience grand rounds.
