The Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Anxiety and Mood Disorder Services at the Child Study Center (CSC) are seeking a dynamic, collaborative clinical psychologist to join our Manhattan practice in a joint position across both services. The Child Study Center is part of NYU Langone’s Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, one of only two independent child and adolescent psychiatry departments within an academic medical center in the nation.

This full-time position is ideal for a psychologist with expertise in autism and co-occurring anxiety, mood, and related disorders across the pediatric age range. The psychologist will provide evidence-based assessment and treatment for children, adolescents, young adults, and their families in individual, parent training, family, and group modalities. The candidate should have strong proficiency in behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapy, parent management training, and diagnostic evaluation.

Candidates should be interested in contributing to the continued growth of both services through strong clinical care, support of existing programming, and development of innovative treatment offerings.
