What are Postdoctoral Psychologists?

Postdoctoral Psychologists are individuals who have completed their doctoral degree in psychology and are engaged in supervised training and research to gain specialized experience. This postdoctoral period is often required for licensure as a psychologist in many regions and allows for advanced study in a specific area of psychology, such as clinical, counseling, or research. Postdoctoral psychologists work under the guidance of licensed psychologists, contribute to research projects or clinical services, and further develop their professional skills before practicing independently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Postdoctoral Psychologist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Postdoctoral Psychologist, you need a doctoral degree in psychology, strong research and clinical skills, and completion of an accredited internship. Experience with assessment tools, research software (such as SPSS), and knowledge of ethical guidelines and state licensure requirements are typically necessary. Outstanding interpersonal skills, critical thinking, and adaptability help build rapport with clients and collaborate effectively in academic or clinical settings. These competencies are crucial for conducting impactful research, delivering effective psychological services, and advancing within the field.

What are some typical collaborative opportunities for a Postdoctoral Psychologist within a research or clinical setting?

Postdoctoral Psychologists often work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including psychiatrists, social workers, and research scientists. Collaboration may involve co-leading therapy groups, conducting joint research projects, or participating in case conferences to develop comprehensive treatment plans. These interactions not only enhance patient care and research quality but also provide valuable networking and mentorship opportunities that can support future career advancement.

What is the difference between Postdoctoral Psychologist vs Licensed Psychologist?

AspectPostdoctoral PsychologistLicensed Psychologist
CredentialsCompletion of doctoral degree, supervised postdoctoral trainingDoctoral degree in psychology, state licensure
Work EnvironmentResearch settings, training clinics, hospitalsPrivate practice, clinics, hospitals, schools
Employer & IndustryUniversities, research institutions, healthcare facilitiesPrivate practices, healthcare organizations, educational institutions
Common Search & ComparisonOften compared during training and early career stagesLicensed psychologists are fully credentialed practitioners

The main difference between a Postdoctoral Psychologist and a Licensed Psychologist is that the former is in a supervised training phase after completing a doctoral degree, focusing on gaining practical experience. The Licensed Psychologist has met all licensing requirements and can independently provide psychological services. Postdoctoral roles are often transitional, while licensed psychologists are fully credentialed practitioners authorized to practice independently.

Job description

Position Details
Title Postdoctoral Researcher Appointment Status Non-Tenure Track Department IU Bloomington Psychological & Brain Sciences Location Bloomington Position Summary
Postdoctoral Researcher 
Study of Affective Disorders' Classification and Treatment (SADCAT) Lab  
Dr. Lorenzo-Lorenzo Luaces
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington
 
Overview: 
The SADCAT Lab (PI: Lorenzo Lorenzo-Luaces) at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) is an interdisciplinary research lab dedicated to advancing our understanding of internalizing disorders-particularly depression and anxiety-and improving their treatment through data-driven, empirically grounded approaches. We are interested in the intersection of technology, mental health, and data science in clinical psychology. The lab is currently supported by an R01 Research Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH; PIs Lorenzo-Luaces & Bollen), investigating the impact of social media on adolescent mental health. This project aims to clarify the bidirectional relationship between social media use and internalizing symptoms in a longitudinal sample of 1,000 adolescents.
 
Essential Duties
The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to ongoing projects examining internalizing disorders, technology, cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs), and the personalization of treatment. The main project focuses on adolescents (ages 13-20) and employs a longitudinal design, passive data collections, and ecological momentary assessments (EMA) to capture the dynamic nature of symptoms. The position involves engaging with multi-level datasets and contributing to statistical analyses. The researcher may also contribute to manuscript preparation and help develop new studies that extend the lab's mission of using data science to advance clinical psychology and improve mental health outcomes.
 
Qualifications 
         Candidates with either (A) a Ph.D. in clinical psychology or a related field (e.g., developmental) OR (B) a PhD in informatics or a related discipline (e.g., computer science)
