    Description


    Marcus Autism Center, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and Emory University School of Medicine are conducting a search for an outstanding psychologist with specialization in pediatric psychology to provide clinical care and support in the Complex Behavior Support Program.


    Specifically, we are seeking a psychologist who will join our team of psychologists and BCBA-Ds in theComplex Behavior SupportProgram serving children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or a related developmental disability.

    We are seeking applicants who will work in both the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Outpatient Programs (OP). IOP provides behavioral intervention to children who engage in severe challenging behavior. Children seen in IOP attend 5-days/week, 5 hours/day for an average of 16 weeks.

    Each child is staffed at a 3:1 ratio, allowing for a high level of precision in the behavioral assessments and treatments conducted.

    The program also emphasizes caregiver training and development of socially valid interventions. A range of outpatient programs provide care to children who engage in mild to moderate challenging behavior. OP see patients once a week and focuses on caregiver training.

    Most OP services are provided for 12 weeks, but can be longer or shorter depending on how the child responds to treatment.

    We are looking for individuals who are interested in providing a high level of clinical care and who are interested in contributing to innovative assessment, treatment, and research activities.

    The psychologist will join a multidisciplinary treatment team that includes professionals from nursing, psychiatry and care coordination. Intervention focuses on the use of applied behavior analysis for the assessment and treatment of severe behavior problems.

    This position will support a clinical caseload that includes case management for patients in IOP, conducting evaluations, providing direct services through our outpatient clinics and supervision of psychology trainees.

    There will also be opportunities for independent and/or collaborative research - contributing to a research team that has several ongoing clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and single-case design studies underway.

    Successful candidates will be well-trained and should possess a PhD and be a Board Certified Behavior Analyst-Doctoral level (BCBA-D).

    Completion of an APA- or CPA-accredited doctoral program in psychology, completion of an APA-accredited internship, and completion of postdoctoral fellowship is preferred.

    Ideal candidates will have clinical training/background in applied behavior analysis and psychology with experience in the assessment and treatment of severe problem behaviors in children with developmental disabilities.

    Preference will be given to candidates that are license-eligible to practice as a psychologist in the state of Georgia. Faculty affiliation or appointment in the Emory University Department of Pediatrics is possible, depending on qualifications of the candidate.
