Fellowship(s)

The BI-SLR HEARTS Category III center, a partnership between Beth Israel Medical Center and St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospitals in New York City, is currently recruiting a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellow in Child and Adolescent Traumatic Stress. The fellowship provides advanced training in child traumatic stress treatment and research. Fellows will assist the PI and Co-PI in implementing trauma-informed practices in juvenile justice and child welfare settings. The fellow will receive training in EBPs for child traumatic stress, provide direct clinical service to youth (ages 13-21) and caregivers in juvenile justice settings, co-facilitate trainings for justice system staff in trauma-informed practices, and assist with program development/evaluation. Research opportunities include conducting original research, analyzing existing datasets, preparing publications and conference presentations, and assisting with grant writing. Other potential opportunities include teaching and supervising. The fellowship is particularly designed to prepare individuals for careers in applied clinical research within an academic medical center setting.

Stoneleigh Foundation awards prestigious fellowships to accomplished individuals who are developing and testing new approaches that have the potential to improve outcomes for vulnerable and at-risk children and youth. A new RFL has just been released and Letters of Interest are now being accepted. In 2011-2012, the Foundation plans to award 2-3 new fellowships through a highly selective and competitive process. The current call for Letters of Interest asks for ideas in three areas where work is greatly needed:

• Violence and Trauma. Ideas needed for cross-system efforts to prevent exposure to and victimization of violence, improve intervention efforts for young people who are exposed or victimized, and break cycles of violence prevalent in our communities, families and schools.
• Behavioral Health. Ideas needed for cross-system efforts to better meet the behavior health needs of children and youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice system, and those at risk of involvement.
• Family and Community. Ideas needed for cross-system efforts to effectively involve family and community in efforts to improve the well-being of children and youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems – and to prevent involvement in these systems.
