Marie Kessel Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The Department of Psychiatry of Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, in affiliation with the Marie Kessel Foundation, has one postdoctoral fellowship position available to study treatment for neuro-and
social-cognitive disorders in neuropsychiatric populations. Fellows will develop neurorehabilitation skills, develop independent
research projects, and collaborate on ongoing research protocols on neurocognitive remediation, motivation, learning, and
insight.
The position entails doing neuropsychological and social cognitive research in various psychiatric
disorders, including schizophrenia. Although this fellowship is primarily intended for applicants on an academic medicine
trajectory, there is a strong emphasis on clinical work. Past fellows have gone on to academic faculty positions or
started their own private therapy practice. The mentor is Alice Medalia, PhD, Professor, Neuropsychologist, and Director
of Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Columbia University.
Qualified applicants should have their doctorate in clinical
psychology or neuropsychology before starting in July-August 2010 or be very close to defending their dissertation by then.
Application deadline is 2/10/11.
Columbia University
and the Kessel Fund are AA/EOE.
