The Department of Psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) Westchester Division in White Plains, New York is accepting applications for a two-year postdoctoral psychology fellowship position available in our Eating Disorders Program.
The fellowship position in Eating Disorders aims to prepare the next generation of scientist-practitioners for careers in academic research and clinical applications within the specialty area of eating disorders.

The population being treated includes adolescents and adults diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and related disorders of weight and eating. The training plan will include experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as, experience doing individual, family, and group work. Participation in clinical research activities will be emphasized. Current research activities in our center include an NIH funded multisite randomized clinical trial examining utility of a novel medication for treatment of anorexia nervosa.
