A Brief Overview

The Division of Outpatient Behavioral Health is seeking a psychologist with expertise in the assessment and treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. The psychologist provides psychological services to patients across CHOP's outpatient programs, participates in the training of psychology and interprofessional trainees, contributes to professional development initiatives, and presents work at the local or regional level.

This role includes diagnostic evaluations and evidence-based psychosocial interventions for a diverse population of children and families from early childhood through adolescence. Services are provided in individual, family, and group formats. While the primary focus is on ADHD, experience with differential diagnosis and intervention for co-occurring neurodevelopmental, internalizing, and externalizing conditions is required. The ideal candidate will also be proficient in interpreting psychoeducational assessments and identifying academic or learning concerns.

Advanced training in behavioral parent training, school consultation, diagnostic evaluations, and experience working in fast-paced settings such as academic medical centers is preferred.

Psychologists are encouraged to support cross-disciplinary training (e.g., child psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, nurse practitioners) and to participate in program development and quality improvement initiatives. Appointees are strongly encouraged to pursue a faculty affiliation with the Department of Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
