UNLV PRACTICE® Institute of Mental & Behavioral Health, an interdisciplinary community mental health clinic (https://www.unlv.edu/thepractice), invites applications for full-time Postdoctoral Fellows in Clinical Psychology with a start date to coincide with the beginning of the 2026-2027 academic training year (August 2026). The program provides opportunities to train in a Clinical Child Psychology specialization and a Group Psychotherapy specialization.
The training program also offers a highly competitive stipend of $70,000 with additional benefits.
UNLV PRACTICE® is an innovative and growing training clinic committed to serving the mental and behavioral health needs of a diverse community through evidence-based practices and programs for children, adolescents, and adults. In addition to individual and family psychotherapy, we offer and train in comprehensive psychological assessment, neuropsychological assessment, group psychotherapy, trauma- and grief-focused interventions and rural telemental health.
We seek applicants who are committed to learning, community engagement, and inter-professional collaboration and practice with openness to developing and providing clinical mental health services to diverse populations considering intersectional identities in clinical conceptualization and treatment. To meet the national average of psychologists per capita, Nevada needs to double its psychology workforce. Without sounding too cliche, where there is great need, there is a great opportunity. Nevada is a place where there is room to have a great deal of influence on one’s destiny as a psychologist; and where a psychologist can make a tangible difference in the community. There is plenty of work to go around, plenty of work to do, and a committed professional community to support you in doing so. It’s a place where you are wanted, needed, and welcomed with open arms. It’s a place where you have a chance to design and build the career of your choosing.
UNLV PRACTICE® is also expanding and we provide our postdoctoral trainees high-quality, diligent supervision, engaging didactics, and opportunities to gain increased independence and to influence and build our programs alongside us.
