Available Post-Doctoral Fellowship in PCIT at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine

One full-time postdoctoral fellowship position is available through the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine. The Post-Doctoral Fellow will be primarily involved in providing Parent-Child Interaction Therapy services to families and conducting PCIT-related research.  At the UM PCIT Clinic, we serve families with children with significant disruptive behavior problems; children who are at-risk for child maltreatment; and children with developmental concerns and co-morbid disruptive behaviors.  Current areas of PCIT research include the use of PCIT and mobile technology; the impact of emotional regulation of PCIT processes and outcomes; and PCIT community dissemination. However, there is flexibility for postdoctoral fellows to develop and implement their own focus of PCIT research.
