POSITION DESCRIPTION

Fordham University Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) will offer two postgraduate fellowship positions for the 2025-2026 academic year at the Rose Hill Campus (Bronx, NY) with concentrations in Training, Groups, or Social Justice and Outreach, and one postgraduate fellowship position at the Lincoln Center Campus (New York, NY) with a concentration in International Mental Health (Mandarin speaker required). The 12-month fellowship will commence on or around August 11, 2025.

The current fellowship fully meets the licensure requirement of supervised postdoctoral psychology, mental health counseling, and social work hours in New York and many other states. We emphasize generalist practice from a relational psychodynamic perspective, while allowing fellows to develop additional expertise in an administrative area relevant to university counseling (e.g., training and supervision, group therapy, outreach/prevention). We have a social justice-centered equity-based treatment model.

Fordham CPS is committed to diversifying our staff and to increasing diversity in the field through quality training. We welcome and encourage applications from individuals from all religious backgrounds, racial/ethnic minority individuals, immigrants and international students, LGBTQ and gender-expansive individuals, second-career/non-traditional-age applicants, individuals with disabilities, and others who are historically underrepresented in the mental health fields.

Responsibilities:

Training Activities:

Concentration:

At Rose Hill, each fellow completes a year-long concentration as an "assistant coordinator" in one area (training/supervision, group therapy, outreach/prevention, or diversity/social justice initiatives), shadowing/learning from and supporting the activities of the staff member responsible for that area of CPS operations.

At Lincoln Center, the only concentration available is international student mental health, and we welcome Mandarin-speaking applicants for this position.
