Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
Now Accepting Applications for the 2026–2027 Postdoctoral Fellowship
Upper East Side Psychology (UESP) is seeking a motivated and collaborative postdoctoral fellow to join our growing, evidence-based group private practice in New York City. This is a W-2 postdoctoral fellowship designed for a clinician who values high-quality supervision, collaborative learning, and the development of a strong professional identity within a supportive group-practice environment.
Candidates must have obtained a Ph.D. or Psy.D. from an APA-accredited doctoral program in psychology and be eligible to obtain a limited permit to practice in New York State.
Tailored Supervision
Supervision is designed to support your specific clinical interests, strengths, and growth areas. We believe individualized supervision is essential to helping clinicians develop confidence, skill, and depth in their work.
Mentorship and Training
We are committed to helping fellows better understand themselves as clinicians while expanding their clinical niche and areas of expertise. Ongoing mentorship and training are central to that process.
Community
We offer a supportive, collaborative team environment where clinicians learn from one another, share ideas, and feel genuinely supported in their professional growth.
This position is ideal for a clinician with experience in CBT, ACT, and DBT, who has worked with OCD, personality disorders, emotional dysregulation, depression, and anxiety, and who is interested in expanding skills in disordered eating and eating-disorder treatment. The fellow will have the opportunity to work across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, families, and groups.
