Social Work Post-Masters Fellowships
2025-2026 Fellowship Positions
Social Work Post-Masters Fellowships are for candidates who have completed a master’s degree in social work and need supervised clinical experience to obtain licensure. The positions provide direct clinical services, including screening services, intake, individual and group psychotherapy, behavioral health interventions, telehealth services and crisis intervention, to students attending the University of Colorado Boulder. The opportunity for a hybrid work schedule is available. Positions are a 40-hour/week, two-year commitment.
The ideal candidate is a recent MSW graduate with an educational background in evidenced-based psychotherapy practices and whose goal is to acquire the necessary clinical/supervision hours for licensure. The candidate should also have relevant and significant clinical experience providing direct psychotherapy services, including crisis intervention and group therapy. CAPS provides psychotherapy services in a brief therapy model. Thus, the ideal candidate must also have an interest in utilizing short-term interventions. CAPS is a multidisciplinary setting, and fellows must be interested in working on an interdisciplinary team, be familiar with electronic medical records and be comfortable with managing a busy and demanding clinical schedule.
Training
Training for Social Work Fellows includes regular seminars on specific mental health topics, weekly group supervision, 90 minutes of weekly supervision with an LCSW and secondary supervision as needed, in relation to clinical areas of focus. All Fellows also attend CAPS staff meetings and trainings. Additionally, Fellows attend a weekly group training seminar and will co-facilitate at least one therapy group each semester.
Start Date, Stipend and Benefits
The start date for these positions is Aug. 4, 2025, and will end two years after the start date. Positions are a 40-hour/week, two-year commitment. Annual salary is $43,888 for the first year of the fellowship and $49,000 for the second year.
As CU employees, fellows are eligible for additional benefits, including health insurance and retirement benefits, funds to support professional development, an RTD pass for public transit and generous PTO and holidays.
