About The Position

The Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (ISGH) at the University of Minnesota Medical School is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellow to join a vibrant team of faculty, staff, and fellows for a two-year in-depth clinical post-doctoral fellowship beginning Fall 2026. This is a clinical specialization fellowship in sex therapy, gender affirming therapy, and sexual and gender healthcare across the lifespan. ISGH has three areas of clinical care: relationship and sex therapy, compulsive sexual behavior, and lifespan gender health. Fellows will work in all three clinical programs, deepening skills in all areas. Fellows will have the opportunity to prepare for certification through AASECT as a certified sex therapist, as well as be able to complete enough clinical hours and supervision for licensure as a psychologist in Minnesota. This is a unique opportunity to specialize in a crucially important area of clinical care, with supervision from leaders in the field. Application Deadline Date: We will begin reviewing applications on a rolling basis starting December 19, 2025. We encourage all interested applicants to get their materials in by that date for full consideration. ISGH promotes the sexual and gender health of Minnesota, the nation, and the world through preeminence in clinical service, research, education, and advocacy. These positions will begin on September 8, 2026, though may be flexible for the successful applicant(s). Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. or Psy.D. from an accredited program in clinical or counseling psychology and/or relationship/family therapy prior to starting this fellowship program. The fellowship includes a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and a professional travel stipend.
