Application

Review the listing of Available Fellowships and Eligibility requirements prior to applying and please check the website regularly - new fellowship positions will be added as they become available! 

Because some fellowships are tied directly to ongoing research projects, the number and types of positions may vary from year to year, reflecting changes in funding level and activity of the researchers.  

If you have already submitted your APPA CAS application but find there is a recently posted fellowship that you wish to be considered for, contact the Training Office and request to be considered for that particular fellowship. 

ALL applicants must submit their applications online through APPA CAS.

We WELCOME applications from PhDs and MDs WHO ARE NOT CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS for our research fellowship positions (i.e. T32s and Investigator-funded positions).  Please apply through the APPA CAS site as well, and contact us directly if you have any questions/concerns. 

The following materials must be uploaded in APPA CAS:

1. Templated Cover Letter (The templated cover letter serves as a place where you can tell us a bit more about yourself (on a personal level), overall experiences you may have had that would make you a good fit with the overall Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Program (PFTP) at Brown, are you fluent is another language, maybe you have worked with a specific population that would be beneficial on fellowship, etc.  The cover letters tend to be more of an overall glimpse at an applicant’s interests and background.)
2. One-page Personal Statement (Utilize the Personal Statement to go into more detail about the fellowship(s) you are applying to (why you are interested in the specific fellowship(s), why your experience would make you a good fit for that fellowship(s), who would you be interested in working with and why, where do you see yourself in the future and how the fellowship(s) would help you meet those goals, etc. Include interests, training, and career goals - this should not be redundant with cover letter)
3. CV
4. 3 Letters of Recommendation
5. FOR CCPSP Forensic Fellowship Applicants ONLY: Please provide a sample of your clinical writing
6. FOR CNSP Fellowship Applicants ONLY: Please upload either your Didactics Schedule or Didactics Description from internship.

The APPA CAS portal allows the application the option to upload “Recent Accomplishments”.  This is not required by the Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Program, but you should include relevant accomplishments and information regarding your undergraduate degree in your CV.

Incomplete applications may not be reviewed.

The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University is an Affirmative Action employer and actively encourages applications from women, minorities, and protected persons.

Postdoctoral appointments are granted for periods of one year, usually starting in July - September.  In some cases, a second year of fellowship may be available when there are opportunities to continue clinical and research training in more depth.

If the position is a Clinical Psychology Program (CPP) or Clinical Child Psychology Specialty Program (CCPSP) position, the second year is not an “APA-accredited” fellowship year, but is designated as a Brown postdoctoral fellowship year.  The CPP is APA-accredited as a Traditional Practice Program in Clinical Psychology and the CCPSP is APA-accredited as a Specialty Program in Clinical Child Psychology. 

If the position is a Clinical Neuropsychology Specialty Program (CNSP) position, the fellowship period is for two years, both years are APA-accredited as a Specialty Program in Clinical Neuropsychology.  

Agreement to continue for a second year of training (if available) is decided upon by the postdoctoal fellow and the primary supervisor midway through the first year. All NIH-Funded postdoctoral fellows are subject to the terms and conditions of the NRSA Payback Agreement.
