Postdoctoral Fellows in the VA Advanced Fellowship for Mental Illness Treatment and Research – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Track.

In any given year there are typically a substantial number of Yale or Yale-Affiliated Post-Doctoral Fellowships available for psychologists who have completed their pre-doctoral internship and received their doctoral degree. Posted below is a list of the Fellowships that have been identified. Additional Fellowships are added as information becomes available.

The name of each Fellowship is a link to additional information. Efforts are made to periodically update this information, but it may be outdated, particularly if you are accessing this webpage after positions are filled in the spring and before updated descriptions are posted late fall or earlier winter. For the most up-to-date information, reach out to the contact person listed in the Fellowship description. General questions can be directed to the Department's Psychology section office (psychsec@yale.edu).
