Psychologists wishing to pursue a career in forensic research and clinical service are invited to apply for positions in the Brown University Training Program in Juvenile Forensic Psychology. The Brown program, in partnership with the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), prepares professionals to conduct high quality research and clinical work in forensic psychology. An emphasis is placed on research related to substance use/abuse. Seventy-five percent effort is devoted to clinical work and 25% is devoted to research.
Weekly seminars and colloquia emphasize conceptualization and conduct of research as well as the conduct of forensic clinical work. The training program focuses on the development and implementation of on-site research under the supervision of trainee-selected faculty mentors. Clinical work is set in a juvenile correctional facility with experiences offered in transitioning youth back to their communities and families. Opportunity exists to conduct research on and/or engage in clinical forensic work with adults involved in the justice system as well.
A significant portion of the training program is devoted to grant writing. An intensive seminar with substantial faculty input is the major component of training in the first year. The end product of the grant writing seminar is an NIH quality grant proposal. Since 1997, more than half of the fellows who have completed the program have become a PI on an NIH grant. Trainees select mentors whose areas of research match well with their own.
Trainees receive a stipend for their training period. Fellowships are for one to two years. Stipends for post-doctoral research fellows begin at $35,568, plus an allowance for travel and research-related expenses as well as liberal health benefits. Limited funds are also competitively available for R and D projects.
Brown Medical School is an Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action employer and actively encourages applications from women and minorities. Application review will continue until the positions are filled or the search is closed.
