Postdoctoral Fellowship Positions
Minneapolis VA Medical Center
Positions:
*** One two-year full-time position in Clinical Neuropsychology
providing advanced training in the practice of clinical neuropsychology
with an emphasis on the evaluation and treatment of neurocognitive
problems related to a wide range of etiologies. (Please note, the first
year of the residency is a one-year APA-accredited training experience
that offers a broad range of clinical opportunities in clinical
neuropsychology and assessment. Both years of training meet the Houston
Conference and APA Division 40 Guidelines for training in
Neuropsychology. We have recently been accepted as an APPCN member and
we plan to apply for APA specialty accreditation in clinical
neuropsychology in December of 2010.
*** Three one-year full-time positions in Clinical Psychology in the
emphasis areas of Rehabilitation Psychology, Primary Care/Health
Psychology, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Severe Mental Disorders.
Training Setting: A large, modern, teaching facility - a Flagship
Veterans Affairs Medical Center with multiple specialized programs (e.g.
Research Centers, Lead Polytrauma Center; Women's Clinic, GRECC Clinic,
TBI Program, etc.) with strong affiliation with the University of
Minnesota and 50 other institutions.
Training Model and Philosophy: The philosophy of our program is
scientist-practitioner. Our program endorses the view that good clinical
practice is based on the science of psychology. In turn, the science of
psychology is influenced by the experience of working with real
patients. As a consequence, our approach to training encourages clinical
practice that is evidence-based and consistent with the current state of
scientific knowledge. At the same time, we hope to acknowledge the
complexities of real patients and the limitations of our empirical base.
We aim to produce psychologists who are capable of contributing to the
profession by investigating clinically relevant questions through their
own clinical research. While individual postdoctoral residents may
ultimately develop careers that emphasize one aspect of the
scientist-practitioner model more than the other, our expectation is
that clinicians will practice from a scientific basis and that
scientists will practice with a clinical sensibility.
Patient Population: Diverse, includes patients with a full range of
medical and mental disorders. Includes adults and geriatric patients
only.
Training staff: 54 doctoral staff psychologists representing diverse
theoretical orientations, clinical specialties, and interests, typically
having academic appointments at the University of Minnesota. The staff
is highly committed to science and values training and trainees.
Start Date: August, 2011
Stipend: $44,755.
Benefits: Health Insurance, 13 days paid vacation and up to 13 days of
sick leave
The Community: This VA Medical Center is set in the beautiful twin
cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, a recreational paradise, with
magnificent lakes and parks, hiking, biking and cross country skiing
trails, the Mall of America, the world-renowned Guthrie Theater, the St.
Paul Chamber Orchestra, a strong contemporary music scene, and ready
access to camping, fishing, hunting, and the great outdoors.
Application Procedure: To apply, submit the following materials by
January 1st, 2011.

residency at the Minneapolis VAMC will help you achieve those goals.
