Apply

The program follows rolling admissions. Applicants are welcome to apply beginning 11/01/2023. Applications will be reviewed and candidates will be invited to interview virtually after this date. Interview dates will be at the end of January/beginning of February. Applications will continued to be accepted until the position is filled. For this reason, submitting applications as soon as possible on/ after 11/01/23 is strongly encouraged. To apply, submit a CV, a de-identified assessment report sample, and cover letter to pedspsychfellowship@hsc.wvu.edu

Please include contact information for three references in your CV. Although the start date of the program is listed as 7/01/24, there is flexibility to accommodate the completion of the trainee’s predoctoral internship program.

APPIC will transition to the Postdoctoral Selection Standards and Common Hold Date (CHD) for the 2022-2023 postdoctoral selection cycle. The Common Hold Date approach mirrors the widely-practiced graduate school admissions process. It allows postdoctoral programs to make offers at any time following the completion of interviews; applicants can then accept, decline, or hold an offer until the designated CHD of Monday, February 27, 2023. Consequently, as the offer and acceptance process naturally unfolds, it is expected that most offers and acceptances will occur prior to the CHD.

West Virginia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and the recipient of an NSF ADVANCE award for gender equity.
