Job Summary
The WELL Center (drexel.edu/wellcenter) is currently recruiting for a Clinical Postdoctoral Fellow under the supervision of Adrienne Juarascio, PhD.
The position entails working as a study therapist on NIH-funded clinical trials examining innovative treatments for eating disorders. These projects include but are not limited to: (1) A trial testing the added efficacy of a smartphone app using innovative sensor technology to CBT for transdiagnostic binge eating; and (2) a Multiphasic Optimization Strategy (MOST) trial to evaluate the independent efficacy of components of mindfulness and acceptance treatments for transdiagnostic eating disorders.
The position is fully clinical, with 100% of time dedicated to direct clinical contact, case management, individual and group supervision (2-4 hours per week), and administrative duties related to clinical work. The majority of the fellow's time will be spent in delivering individual, outpatient manualized treatments (e.g., CBT) for eating disorders to support ongoing clinical trials, but opportunities for group treatment and provision of treatment through the WELL Clinic may be available. The fellow will carry a caseload of approximately 25 individual patients and will gain sufficient hours for licensure after 1 year. This training experience is designed to build expertise in clinical research in the area of eating disorders.
The ideal candidate will have a doctorate in clinical psychology and have experience with CBT and mindfulness and acceptance-based treatments for eating disorders. Training and experience with evidence-based, manualized, and/or cognitive behavioral treatments for psychopathology (e.g., anxiety, depression, eating disorders) are required.
