Postdoctoral Fellowship Appointment
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.
