Description

The Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center, Strong Memorial Hospital, invites applications for a part-time (50% FTE) Psychologist position. We are recruiting for a candidate with outstanding clinical, supervision, and program development / evaluation skills for a position with a focus on evidence-based care and consultation within an acute adult inpatient setting (average length of stay 10-14 days).

We are recruiting a psychologist with expertise in Geropsychology to serve as the programming lead for our Geriatric Inpatient Psychiatry Unit (11 total beds), which specializes in treating older adults presenting with a range of acute psychiatric symptoms and changes in mental status. Preference will be given for candidates who meet the Houston Conference Guidelines for neuropsychology.

In addition to overseeing unit programming, the successful candidate will provide clinical care (brief therapy, group therapy, brief interventions with families/caregivers, psychological testing), supervise pre-doctoral interns and externs, and participate in scholarly activities. Collaboration with the multi-disciplinary inpatient team and facilitating ongoing interdisciplinary education and training opportunities are essential. Evaluation of the development and integration of psychological services into the specialized inpatient unit is also a component of the position.

Our overall adult inpatient service includes 63 beds and a very collaborative and interdisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, APP’s, RN's, psychiatric pharmacologists, mental health therapists, recreation therapists, music therapists, chemical dependency counselors, and interdisciplinary trainees. As an educator and supervisor, the successful candidate will also join an enthusiastic team of over 15 psychologists, as well as psychology trainees, in our APA accredited pre-doctoral internship program and post-doctoral fellowship.

This position will include a faculty appointment within the University of Rochester’s School of Medicine and Dentistry and a medical staff appointment at Strong Memorial Hospital. The hospital is an EPIC medical records location and training will be provided.
