    Job Description


    Marcus Autism Center, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University Department of Pediatrics are conducting a search for a doctoral-level clinician (i.e., psychologist or BCBA-D) with specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and early treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children to provide clinical care and to support the growth of our ABA Therapy Program.


    This position primarily focuses on providing clinical care, as well as clinical case management and supervision of Master's-level Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) providing intervention to children targeting core deficits of autism.

    Children seen in the program receive 1:1 intervention delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) for 3 hours/day, 5 days/week in a clinic setting.

    The program emphasizes early and focused treatment targeting social communication and play skills, strives to ensure children are ready to move to a less-intensive setting by discharge, and heavily involves caregivers in their child's intervention.

    The ABA Therapy program relies on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to inform treatment strategies, and utilizes a developmentally-appropriate approach to targeting skill deficits.

    The program also has several active ongoing research projects investigating the most effective and efficient ways to target core deficits of ASD.

    In the past year, the program has expanded beyond the Atlanta location to establish locations in both Cumming and Sandy Springs and has plans for continued growth.


    We are seeking individuals who are interested in joining a dedicated team of professionals seeking to provide the highest quality care to children with ASD.

    The clinician will be responsible for maintaining their own case load in the program, as well as providing mentorship and oversight to several BCBA providers across multiple program locations.

    The clinician will join a multidisciplinary treatment team that includes professionals from speech/language pathology, medicine, and care coordination/social work. The position will also involve supervision of trainees at the Master's, predoctoral, and postdoctoral level.

    There will also be opportunities for independent and/or collaborative research by joining our research team that is involved in single-subject research as well as ongoing clinical trials and epidemiological studies.


    Successful candidates will possess a PhD or PsyD in clinical psychology or a related field, certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or Board Certified Behavior Analyst- Doctoral (BCBA-D), and have at least 3 years' clinical training/ background in ABA intervention to children diagnosed with ASD.

    For psychologist candidates, completion of an APA-accredited internship and a postdoctoral fellowship is preferred and candidates must be license-eligble to practice as a psychologist in the state of Georgia.
