Description
Summary:Sixteen forensic psychology postdoctoral fellowships are listed in the 2009-2010 American Psychology-Law Society postdoctoral directory ( Proctor & Malesky, 2009 ). Obtaining one of these fellowships can be challenging, given their relatively small number and competitive applicant pool. Further, little is known about what training directors value in applicants. Fellowship directors provided recommendations for individuals desiring a position at their training site as part of this study. Suggestions included acquiring clinical experience working with individuals with severe mental illness and having a strong psychological assessment background. Additional recommendations for applicants desiring postdoctoral forensic placements are discussed.
