Postdoctoral Fellowship

Psychology Department at State Operated Forensic Services
St. Peter, MN

The Psychology Department at State Operated Forensic Services (SOFS) invites applications for a postdoctoral forensic psychology fellowship program in forensic assessment beginning September 2012. Specifically, we seek to prepare clinical psychologists to be highly competent and ethical forensic examiners capable of independent forensic assessment practice. The focus in our training program is on forensic assessment, mental health case law, developing forensic opinions, and expert witness testimony. We provide a multitude of training opportunities through didactic exercises, weekly case law study, case conferences, literature reviews, and close supervision of all aspects of the completion of a variety of forensic cases.

The selected fellows for the 2012-2013 training year will receive a salary of approximately $46,134 and benefits. Limited funding and/or authorized leave time for training activities is possible but is not guaranteed. This fellowship is a one-year, full-time (i.e., 40 hours per week) position.

The forensic psychology postdoctoral fellowship is open to applicants who will have successfully completed an APA-accredited doctoral program in clinical or counseling psychology and an APA-accredited internship by September 2012. Applicants must complete all doctoral requirements before commencement of the fellowship. Prior forensic and/or correctional experience is preferred. Completed applications are due by January 16, 2012.
