About this position
The Ohio State University is offering a full-time postdoctoral fellowship in sport psychology within its Sports Medicine Research Institute. The position is designed for a clinical or counseling psychology graduate seeking advanced training in sport psychology and college athletics.
The fellow will join SPAWS, which supports Ohio State student-athletes through comprehensive mental health and performance services. Working with a collaborative team, the fellow will contribute to clinical care, research and screening, education, intervention, evaluation, programming, training, and performance services designed around athletic culture and student-athlete wellbeing.
SPAWS works exclusively with Ohio State Athletics and collaborates closely with sports medicine. It is housed through the Wexner Medical Center Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and the Ohio State Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute. The athletic department includes nearly 1,000 student-athletes across 36 varsity sports, providing a broad college-athletics environment for interdisciplinary professional practice.
The postdoctoral fellow is expected to integrate into the general operations of SPAWS and provide a range of services under appropriate supervision. The fellowship offers practical experience in individual therapy, mental health and performance support, and the development of effective services for student-athletes from diverse backgrounds.
