About this position

The University of Oslo’s Section of Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology is recruiting a PhD fellow for a three- to four-year project in clinical child and adolescent psychology focused on autism.

The research will examine autism profiles among girls, the effects of autism-related symptoms on parents and siblings, and gender-specific treatment outcomes. The project addresses which symptom profiles predict an autism diagnosis in girls referred to child and adolescent mental health services, how symptom profiles affect parents’ mental health, and how symptoms in boys and girls relate to outcomes 12 months after a randomized controlled trial comparing modular treatment with treatment as usual.

The fellow will work across ongoing clinical collaboration projects involving the University of Oslo, Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital, the Norwegian Centre for Rare Diseases Unit Frambu, and the University of Inland Norway. These include Empower Rare, Empower Autistics, and Enhance Families. The wider research environment brings together clinical psychology, developmental psychology, neuropsychology, medicine, and pedagogy.

Activities will include collecting data through neuropsychological assessment and treatment-related research with autistic youth, siblings, and parents; analyzing quantitative data; writing scientific articles; and completing PhD coursework and supervision at the Department of Psychology. The position offers opportunities to develop expertise in autism treatment, sibling-related issues, family perspectives in mental health, and clinically relevant research.

The primary workplace is the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo, with occasional work at Lovisenberg and Frambu. The project is connected to the CREATE Centre for Excellence in Research and the UiO:Life Science NeuroPathways project, providing an interdisciplinary and collaborative research setting.
