Postdoctoral Psychology Fellowship in Autism Spectrum Disorders

We offer a one year, full time fellowship at the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (CASD), with the option to extend another year based on fellow interest. We value trainee diversity, cultural competence and ability to contribute to our work with diverse and underserved populations.

We are deeply committed to training, which combines clinical, didactic and research activities to prepare you for a career in clinical-academic psychology. We provide focused experience in the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related conditions across age and abilities. The fellow will also participate in weekly didactics, case conferences and individual and group supervision. We offer protected time (minimum 20%) for mentored research activities.

CASD is a part of the Division of Neuropsychology at Children’s National Hospital serving over 3,000 patients annually, drawing from across the region and internationally. CASD specializes in evaluation, treatment and advocacy for children with autism. Children of all ages are seen in multidisciplinary teams and treatment programs. We offer training at the externship, internship and post-doctoral levels. Services are provided by psychology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, neurodevelopmental pediatrics and speech and language pathology.
