Fordham University Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) will offer two
postgraduate fellowship positions for the 2025-2026 academic year at the Rose Hill Campus
(Bronx, NY) with concentrations in Training, Groups, or Social Justice and Outreach, and
one postgraduate fellowship position at the Lincoln Center Campus (New York, NY) with a
concentration in International Mental Health (Mandarin speaker required). The 12-month
fellowship will commence on or around August 11, 2025.
The current fellowship stipend is $41,400, with an intended increase in 2025-2026 to a
salary that would be commensurate with comparable fellowship programs, full university
benefits (described in detail below) and fully meets the licensure requirement of
supervised postdoctoral psychology, mental health counseling, and social work hours in
New York and many other states. We emphasize generalist practice from a relational
psychodynamic perspective, while allowing fellows to develop additional expertise in an
administrative area relevant to university counseling (e.g., training and supervision, group
therapy, outreach/prevention). We have a social justice-centered equity-based treatment
model.
Fordham CPS is committed to diversifying our staff and to increasing diversity in the field
through quality training. We welcome and encourage applications from individuals from all
religious backgrounds, racial/ethnic minority individuals, immigrants and international
students, LGBTQ and gender-expansive individuals, second-career/non-traditional-age
applicants, individuals with disabilities, and others who are historically underrepresented in
the mental health fields.

outreach/prevention, or diversity/social justice initiatives), shadowing/learning from

operations. At Lincoln Center, the only concentration available is international
student mental health, and we welcome Mandarin-speaking applicants for this
position.
