The Department of Psychiatry and the Institute for Juvenile Research (IJR) at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) in collaboration with Department of Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria (UICOM-P) is seeking to hire a Pediatric Psychologist to provide health psychology services to children and families in Gastroenterology and Developmental Pediatrics.

IJR hosts a nationally recognized Psychology Clinical Internship Training Program, and the Department of Psychiatry is among the top ranked departments by NIH funding with active portfolios in anxiety and mood disorders, psychosis, late life depression, digital mental health, addictions, mental health services, and women's mental health. Dating back to 1909, IJR is regarded as the home of American child psychiatry and was founded to advance the care of youth in Chicago. Its historic mission continues to the present day and is expanding under the leadership of Dr. Niranjan Karnik.

A primary teaching hospital of UICOMP is the Children's Hospital of Illinois at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center (CHOI), a tertiary care facility serving a 37-county region with a population base of over two million.
