My department at APA, Practice Research and Policy, addresses issues relevant to
psychologists in practice- clinical practice guidelines, outcomes, electronic health
records, classification and other substantive areas- and we are looking for a psychologist
(or professional with a related advanced degree) to join our team. S/he will need to be
adept at working with large databases as well as interested in complicated policy issues.
We affectionately refer to ourselves as "psychology geeks" and love working with
scientists and clinicians in order to support and advance psychologists and the important
work that they do. The formal job announcement follows, along with directions for how to
apply, but interested candidates can contact me directly with questions.
