Announcement for 2 Pediatric Psychologist Positions

The Nemours/ Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children is accepting applications for two full-time Pediatric Psychologist positions. 

The Nemours/ A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children is committed to providing access to high-quality, family-centered health care for children and adolescents, and has developed several initiatives to improve access to behavioral health services. We are in search of two psychologists to expand these initiatives by providing services to children and families in two settings: our hospital-based, multidisciplinary Access Clinic and our integrated primary care satellite clinics. The Behavioral Health Access Clinic is a consultation clinic designed to provide quality, patient-centered care to children with behavioral health concerns and their families. At the Nemours duPont Pediatrics primary care satellite clinics, psychologists are an integral part of the medical home treatment team for a culturally and economically diverse patient population. Opportunities to provide consultation and treatment in Spanish are available. Across the hospital and satellite settings, the psychologists will have opportunities to work closely with medical colleagues to expand integrative care initiatives.

The Division of Behavioral Health includes nineteen psychologists, three psychiatrists, an APA-approved Psychology Internship program and an active Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.  The Division of Behavioral Health is part of the Nemours Neuroscience Center, along with the closely aligned disciplines of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Developmental Pediatrics, and Rehabilitative Medicine. The Neuroscience Center provides comprehensive, coordinated neurodevelopmental services in a collaborative model.   Nemours/ A.I. duPont Hospital for Children's state-of-the-art facility is located in a suburban setting, a half-hour from Philadelphia and two hours from mountains and beaches.  In addition to the main hospital campus, Nemours has a number of satellite offices, including 10 Nemours DuPont Pediatrics primary care locations that serve a diverse population of patients and are the primary medical home for 25% of the children in Delaware.  

Qualifications include a Ph.D. or Psy.D. from an APA-approved clinical psychology program, a pre-doctoral Internship from an APA-approved site, at least one year of postdoctoral experience in a medical setting, and both clinical and research experience with pediatric populations.  Send letter of interest and vita to Meghan McAuliffe Lines, Ph.D., Chair of Search Committee, Division of Behavioral Health, Department of Pediatrics, Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, 1600 Rockland Road, Wilmington, DE 19899 or e-mail Meghan.Lines@nemours.org.
