This position is designed for someone who is pursuing licensure as a psychologist and is seeking specialized experience working within an athletics department providing psychological services to a NCAA Division I student-athlete population. The Postdoctoral Associate position is designed to provide a unique training opportunity under the supervision of North Carolina licensed psychologists who specialize in sport psychology and are AASP Certified Mental Performance Consultants. The Postdoc will work within Duke Athletics Behavioral Health Services, which provides counseling, consultation, and performance psychology services to approximately 700 student-athletes and 27 sport teams. Specific responsibilities will be based on availability and training needs.

Candidates should be highly motivated, doctoral graduate in counseling or clinical psychology from an APA-accredited training program, which includes the completion of an APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship. Specialized training in sport psychology, kinesiology, and/or clear progress toward becoming an AASP Certified Mental Performance Consultant is strongly preferred. Qualified candidates should have strong clinical skills in counseling, psychological assessment and crisis management. Experience and/or strong interest in college mental health, crisis intervention, outreach and consultation, especially with intercollegiate teams, and/or working with a student-athlete population is desirable. Experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds is essential. A strong understanding of professional ethics and boundaries, excellent communication and interpersonal skills are a must. Other preferred candidate qualities include: 1) a demonstrated ability to work within a multi-disciplinary team; 2) flexibility and capacity to respond well to change; 3) being self-motivated and hard-working; and 4) commitment to training and development as a professional in psychology. Applicants who value inclusivity and/or represent marginalized identities or backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.

The position is a full time, 12 month appointment. Additionally, a benefits package that includes health benefits, sick time, paid vacation, and professional days is available.
