Discover Your Career at Emory University

Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.

Description

ACCESS Fellows, who are directly mentored by faculty, will gain experience working alongside key community stakeholders and will be involved in a highly active and productive community of interdisciplinary students, clinicians, and researchers committed to community engagement, inclusivity, and service access. This fellowship aims to serve as a stepping stone for doctoral programs in clinical psychology, community psychology, school psychology, medical school and for students interested in public health.

ACCESS Fellows will guide a research project, from data collection through analysis and publication of results. Over two years, fellows will gain in-depth research experience through active engagement in community training and implementation efforts. Fellows also complete an intensive summer training seminar covering clinical research in autism, exposure to a variety of autism clinical services, grand rounds meetings (twice a month), ACCESS Lab meetings (weekly), community advisory board meetings, and ongoing didactic practica.

Eligibility Requirements

College graduates who will have received a bachelor's degree by July 2024 are eligible to apply. For the ACCESS Fellowship, research experience with psychology, community engagement, public health, and education is valued. A key feature of this fellowship is interest in studying strategies that support the translation of therapeutic practices into community systems. There is an emphasis on community systems that serve marginalized and minoritized autistic individuals and their families.

We strongly value diversity and encourage candidates of all backgrounds and all career routes to apply, including autistic and neurodiverse applicants. Please note that this fellowship is not offered concurrently with graduate studies. However, for fellows leaving the program, we do hope that the fellowship will serve as an important stepping-stone towards future graduate studies or careers in autism health services.
