Consistent with the objectives, the primary responsibilities of the postdoctoral fellows will include the delivery of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for PTSD to eligible service members and veterans and conducting training crisis response planning workshops. A secondary aim of this project is to determine how various treatment delivery models influence treatment outcomes. Postdoctoral fellows will therefore conduct individual CPT sessions on either a daily or weekly basis. Additional responsibilities of the fellowship include analysis of data and preparation of manuscripts resulting from the project. The fellowship will also provide training in a range of areas including the assessment and treatment of suicide and PTSD in the military, train-the-trainer specific to crisis response planning for suicide prevention, and advanced statistical modeling (e.g., multilevel models, nonlinear dynamic modeling). Qualified applicants will have earned a Ph.D., Psy.D., or equivalent in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, social work, or a related field, and have experience with cognitive behavioral therapy and manualized psychotherapies. Preference will be given to applicants who have received training and clinical supervision in one or more of the following treatment modalities: cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for PTSD, brief cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention (BCBT), cognitive therapy for suicide prevention (CT-SP), crisis response planning (CRP), and/or the safety planning intervention (SPI).

A secondary aim of this project is to determine mechanisms of action underlying treatment effects. Additional responsibilities of the fellowship include data collection and entry, administration of computerized assessment tasks, and preparation and use of psychophysiological assessment strategies. The fellowship will provide training in a range of areas including the assessment and treatment of suicide risk and the use of heart rate variability and other physiological assessment methods. Where desired, training may also be provided in scientific writing, although this is not a focus of the fellowship. Qualified applicants will have earned a masters or doctoral degree in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, social work, or a related field, and have experience with cognitive behavioral therapy and manualized psychotherapies. Preference will be given to applicants who have received training and clinical supervision in one or more of the following treatment modalities: cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for PTSD, brief cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention (BCBT), cognitive therapy for suicide prevention (CT-SP), crisis response planning (CRP), and/or the safety planning intervention (SPI).
