Faculty Positions

We are proud to offer teaching, clinical, and research positions in child mental, developmental, and behavioral health. You can learn more about all that we do here.

Below are our current faculty opportunities:

IICAPS clinicians work in teams to provide child and family focused mental health treatment to meet the comprehensive needs of children from 4 to 18 years of age who have been discharged from psychiatric hospitals, prevented from entry into hospital or require more than weekly community-based care to treat their severe emotional disorders. Clinicians work in each family’s home and community; each clinician team carries 8 cases and is expected to hold individual child, parents and family sessions each week. Services to be provided include individual and family evaluation, assessment and treatment, clinical collaboration and care coordination, crisis management and intervention. Must have own car. Clinicians with bilingual capacity in Spanish are encouraged to apply. Experience with children, families, emotional disorders, and/ or substance abuse preferred.

Clinicians provide a range of mental health treatment services to youth up to 18 years of age and their families. Many of the families served come from economically disadvantaged areas of Connecticut. These youth and families are often at high risk for mental health difficulties. Outpatient services include assessment, crisis intervention, individual psychotherapy, family treatment, group therapy, parental guidance, education and skills training, advocacy and linkage to other services. Clinicians work closely with the youth, parents or other primary caretakers, and significant family members to address problems related to the youth’s behavior, social emotional needs and level of functioning. Clinicians will recognize and treat symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, aggression and other psychological disorders with appropriate treatment modalities, including the implementation of evidence-based treatments. As necessary, clinicians work with other professionals involved with the youth and family (e.g. school, pediatrician, DCF worker, Probation officer, other providers, etc.).

Licensed or license-eligible clinicians with the following skills or experience are encouraged to apply:

• Treatment experience with young children (0-6), Autism, Medically Complex Children, and/or DBT
• Two or more years of experience in a youth mental health setting
