Psychologist - ASD and Trauma, Kennedy Krieger Institute

PSYCHOLOGIST I

$10,000 sign-on bonus for full-time.

The Psychologist I provides psychotherapy and clinical assessment in the Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress (CCFTS) treatment program. These children are primarily those who have experienced, or may be at risk for, trauma through physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, domestic and community violence. The Psychologist I will assess these children along a continuum of screenings to full psychological evaluations. These are formal evaluations requiring psychometrically sound instruments, in addition to clinical interviewing. Assessment areas include emotional, cognitive, achievement, and developmental functioning of referred children. This position requires the ability to address the needs of this population. The Doctoral Level Psychologist may also participate in training, research or other projects at the direction of the Director of Clinical Services.

Services for children and youth who have neurodevelopmental disabilities (i.e., autism, intellectual disability, genetic and chromosomal syndromes, etc.) are central to Kennedy Krieger’s mission.

We are seeking applicants who have interest and experience with these populations to learn and apply cutting edge clinical interventions for posttraumatic stress.
