About The Institute on Development and Disability (IDD)Link https://www.ohsu.edu/institute-on-development-and-disability/about-us

The Institute on Development and Disability within the Department of Pediatrics at OHSU works with patients, families, clinicians, researchers and many other professionals to meet the goal of improving the lives of people with disabilities. We perform research and care to support every patient, from premature babies to older adults, facing changes in life due to the onset of disabling conditions. With more than 100 years of practice, we understand how to best meet the needs of our patients and their families in Oregon and beyond.

Function/Duties of Position

The postdoctoral position involves a variety of assessment activities as well as some opportunities for treatment/intervention and research. Assessment duties will involve the use of a wide range of assessment tools. Referrals for child assessment will come from providers across multiple disciplines (e.g. craniofacial disorders, primary care, neurology, hematology-oncology, neuro-oncology, neurocritical care). Most child evaluations will include a clinical interview; full assessment of the child's cognitive functioning, behavioral functioning, psychological functioning, and developmental level; and feedback to parents.

Opportunities for behavioral treatment and intervention activities will come primarily from serving within a multi-disciplinary clinic setting as well as inpatient consultation & liaison services to the medical floors of the DCH. Research opportunities are wide and varied, depending on the interests of the postdoctoral fellow.

The postdoctoral fellow will have access to a multitude of career development opportunities through the CDRC/IDD and OHSU, including a full range of didactic offerings. Further, opportunities to offer community based trainings to parents and service providers are available.
