Full job description

Description: CALM’s Post-doc is a one-year, full-time clinical position that prepares trainees for licensure as a psychologist in Minnesota and may lead to ongoing employment. The training involves some required components but allows for flexibility to create the experiences the candidate desires. Founded in a scientist-practitioner model, our providers are devoted to the development of skills while focusing on strengths.

We view the Post-doc as a final year of training before independent practice, and our supervisory psychologists are dedicated to assisting you in this exciting year. We are invested in you as a practicing psychologist and a person, and strive to make this year meaningful, enjoyable, and helpful as you launch your career.

While CALM has high expectations for Clinical Work, we also believe in having a work-life balance. As such, we require the equivalent of three days, typically 8 to 5 pm, that are open to client contact. At least one day must be done in person; however, depending on client need, telehealth is available for the remaining days. Individuals who wish to take on a greater client load have the potential for bonus pay as a percentage of what they bring into the clinic.

Distinctive Elements of Our Training Program

Before the training, candidates discuss the expected goals for the candidacy, which may include ages and populations for psychotherapy as well as how much therapy or assessment they wish to do.
