Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Psychology
Rush University Medical Center
Chicago, Illinois
The Division of Pediatric Psychology, in collaboration with the Division of Neonatology and Department of Health Systems Management, at Rush University Medical Center (RUMC) is currently accepting applications for a full-time, one- or two-year post-doctoral fellowship for the 2026-2028 academic years. The fellowship is a combined clinical and research position, with approximately 3 ½ days per week dedicated to clinical research as a member of the Division of Neonatology’s Reducing Disparity in Receipt of Mother’s Own Milk (ReDiMOM) team, and 1 ½ days dedicated to clinical work within the Division of Pediatric Psychology.
The ReDiMOM project is a series of R01 studies aimed at determining the effectiveness of an economic intervention to reduce the disparity in mother’s own milk feedings at time of discharge from the NICU for very preterm infants. The fellow will join two of ReDiMOM’s follow-up studies focused on assessing neurodevelopmental outcomes of former preterm infants at later ages (20 months’ corrected age through six years old). Because home visits are offered to families in these studies, the fellow will be expected to be available on some evenings and weekends as needed.
In addition to administering developmental assessments, the fellow will be an active member of the research team engaged in a variety of other roles such as study enrollment, data collection and analysis, and manuscript development. Ample opportunities for presentations and publication are expected.
_______________________________________________________________
The Division of Pediatric Psychology provides a wide range of intervention, assessment, and consultation services across settings. Our division also supports an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship program.
Primary clinical responsibilities for this portion of the position include:
-
conducting developmental and psychological evaluations with children ages 8 months to 10 years old who present with a wide range of developmental and medical conditions
-
providing consultation services to families of infants hospitalized in the NICU
-
opportunities to supervise predoctoral psychology residents and to engage in program development or quality improvement initiatives may also be available
_______________________________________________________________
Qualified candidates must have a doctoral degree (PhD; PsyD) in clinical psychology and have completed an APA-approved internship. Qualified candidates must have significant experience with developmental and psychological testing with young (8 months – 6 years) children and must be proficient in use of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development.

Children’s National Hospital -
Recruiting for Two Postdoctoral Fellowships in Perinatal Mental Health
NOTE: One of the two listed positions will focus specifically on Latina Perinatal Mental Health.
The Zickler Family Prenatal Pediatrics Institute (ZFPPI) at Children’s National Hospital is currently accepting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship for the 2026-2027 training year in Perinatal Mental Health, with one of the two available positions to be focused specifically on Latina Perinatal Mental Health.
This clinical fellowship experience will include patient care, program development, clinical applied research, and advocacy efforts related to the needs of patients seen via the Prenatal Pediatrics Institute (PPI), the DC MotherBaby Wellness (DCMBW) program, and within the intensive care units [e.g. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU)].
As part of clinical care, fellows will attend and participate in regular multidisciplinary team meetings, collaborate with colleagues across multiple medical subspecialties, and support patients longitudinally across inpatient and outpatient contexts.
The fellow(s) will be located on-site at the main hospital campus in Washington, DC. Primary responsibilities include the following:
Clinical Assessment and Intervention:
Fellows will conduct comprehensive assessments and provide psychotherapeutic interventions to support individuals experiencing perinatal mental health challenges. This can include individual therapy and support groups.
Research and Program Development:
Fellows may have the opportunity to engage in a range of active research projects related to perinatal mental health. They may also contribute to the development and enhancement of perinatal mental health programs and services within the Prenatal Pediatrics Institute and across Children’s National Hospital.
Supervision and Training:
Fellows will be supervised by psychologists with expertise in perinatal mental health. Fellows will also take part in didactic training for pediatric psychology fellows across Children’s National, along with didactics and collaborations focused on perinatal mental health within Children’s National and across the DC area. Fellows will be supported in receiving advanced training in perinatal mental health, which will allow for eventual PMH-C certification, if desired.
