This new position focuses on the provision of culturally responsive mental health evaluation and treatment to young adults within five years of their first psychotic episode, and the provision of treatment to adults with chronic psychotic disorders. Strong Ties is a site for a study of visual and cognitive remediation for people with schizophrenia. The position may also include supervision of post-doctoral fellows and psychology interns, depending on availability of interested trainees.

Minimum requirements include PhD or doctoral equivalent in psychology, postdoctoral training in adult or child and adolescent psychology, licensure in the state of New York, and experience in the field(s) of working with families and clients with serious mental illness, including psychosis.

Strong collaborative relationships support our multidisciplinary educational mission and provide state-of-the-art training facilities that include ready access to the URMC Center for Experiential Learning and its simulation training resources.
