Dr. John J.B. Morgan Clinical Research Fellowship for the Academic Year 2015-2017

This two-year Fellowship trains scientist-practitioners in the tradition of Dr. John J. B. Morgan, a renowned psychologist affiliated with Northwestern University from 1925-1945. The Fellowship is supported by grants from The Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation.

In this two-year Fellowship, a postdoctoral fellow in clinical/counseling psychology or family therapy pursues research and receives clinical training at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. The Institute conducts research on couples and family dynamics, mental disorders, and psychotherapeutic change. The Family Institute’s staff practice and its Bette D. Harris Family and Child Clinic annually provide over 75,000 therapy sessions to more than 7,500 individuals, couples and families from all walks of life, which makes it an ideal context for clinical training and research.

Under the direction of William Pinsof, PhD (Chief Executive of The Family Institute and the Director of the Institute’s Epstein Center for Psychotherapy Change), the Morgan Postdoctoral fellow will gain expertise as an integrative, couples/family-oriented psychotherapist and psychotherapy researcher. The clinical training includes intensive individual and group supervision in the practice of Integrative Problem-Centered Metaframeworks (IPCM) therapy (Breunlin, Pinsof, Russell & Lebow, 2011; Pinsof, Breunlin, Russell & Lebow, 2011) with individuals, couples and families. It includes additional consultation in couple therapy and in the clinical use of the STIC system.

The Fellow will be part of the research program of the Institute’s Epstein Center for Psychotherapy Change. The fellow will work closely with Dr. Pinsof and Dr. Richard Zinbarg (Chief Scientist of the Epstein Center) in exploring and analyzing data from ongoing studies with the STIC® (Systemic Therapy Inventory of Change). The STIC, a multi-systemic and multi-dimensional online measurement and feedback system, assesses and tracks change in client systems and feeds these data back to therapists in real time throughout the course of therapy. Therapists share STIC data with clients to facilitate collaborative assessment, treatment planning and progress evaluation. This Fellowship trains Fellows to become clinical and scientific leaders in family psychology/therapy and integrative, empirically informed and multi-systemic therapy.

Preferred applicants will have completed a PhD (or PsyD) in clinical/counseling psychology, as well as an APA-approved internship. We also accept applicants who have completed a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy. The applicant should have strong interests in psychotherapy research and family systems theory and therapy. Experience with feedback research and statistics (particularly multi-level longitudinal data analysis and/or item response theory and computer adaptive testing) is desirable.

Benefits include: a $42,000 stipend, access to Northwestern University Libraries and Northwestern University Wildcard benefits, 4 weeks of paid time off, health insurance and liability insurance. The fellowship position offers teaching opportunities, mentorship, and career development. Upon completion of the fellowship, the fellow should have the supervised clinical hours required to become licensed in the state of Illinois.
