*at Seattle Children's and the University of Washington School of Medicine*

*2018-2019 Academic Year*

The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine 
at Seattle Children's Hospital, in association with the University of 
Washington School of Medicine, seeks applicants interested in 
opportunities to specialize in Clinical Child and Adolescent Mood and 
Anxiety Psychotherapy Research and Practice (MAP).  The one-year MAP 
Fellow position will be *50% research time and 50% outpatient clinical 
activities* focused on *prevention and intervention of adolescent mental 
health problems, with emphasis on depression, emotion regulation, and 
self-injurious thoughts and behaviors. *

The successful applicants will work closely with one or more faculty in 
the School of Medicine and Seattle Children’s who will serve as mentors 
on current and recently completed federally and foundation funded 
research projects. Examples of these projects include: the development 
and testing of teacher trainings to enhance teachers’ ability to deliver 
effective social-emotional learning (SEL) curricula in the context of 
high school health classes; designing implementation strategies to 
support the uptake and sustained use of emotional and behavioral skill 
training among teachers; augmentation of suicide-specific treatment 
strategies for adolescents who do not respond to treatment; analysis of 
cohort study data to address research questions about biological markers 
and self- and other-reported self-regulation, adolescent mental health, 
and young adult functioning. In addition to mentorship from faculty who 
serve as PIs on research projects, fellows will engage in extensive 
scholarly writing, secondary data analysis, and development and 
execution of their own independent research projects as well as 
participate in coursework and clinical training relevant to the MAP 
mission and consistent with the fellow’s interests and individualized plan.

Competitive applicants have interest and experience in research focused 
on: (1) effective strategies for implementing evidence-based care across 
various settings including clinics and schools; and/or (2) enhancing 
treatment response to interventions for  child psychopathology (e.g., 
via routine outcomes monitoring, data-driven decision support, treatment 
pathway development), with particular focus on prevention and 
intervention for depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Clinical activities include psychological consultation and treatment for 
children, adolescents, and young adults with acute or chronic medical 
and/or psychiatric conditions. Specific clinical services to be provided 
include appropriate consultation, diagnostic assessment and follow-up 
management of depression, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, emotional 
problems, coping with physical illnesses, psychoeducation for youth and 
their families, and managing/facilitating case transfers from acute care 
to the community or to intensive psychiatry treatment programs. 
Treatment interventions delivered include Behavioral Activation, 
Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality, and Dialectical 
Behavior Therapy.

*Requirements*: Candidates must have completed a doctoral degree in child 
clinical psychology from an accredited APA program, and an APA 
accredited predoctoral internship working with children/adolescents. 
Applicants with longitudinal/multi-level data analysis skills are 
strongly preferred.  Stipend is commensurate to the NIH salary range for 
postdoctoral fellows along with full medical and dental benefits. 
*Applications are due by February 15, 2018, though we will review 
immediately and continue through 2/15. Start date in July or August 2018. *

Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a letter outlining 
their areas of interest and training experiences, graduate transcript, 
two letters of recommendation, and two writing samples (academic papers 
or conference abstracts) to: Dr. Molly Adrian, PhD, at adriam at uw.edu
