Post-Doctoral Fellow in Clinical Neuropsychology

Job Details

The neuropsychology postdoctoral fellows serve critical roles in both direct clinical care and in supporting the broader Department of Neurology. They provide essential neuropsychological assessment and consultation services that are core to outpatient clinics, inpatient services, and pre surgical evaluations. Their work directly supports attending neuropsychologists and neurologists by maintaining clinical capacity, ensuring timely access to care, and helping meet institutional and accreditation expectations for service delivery.

In addition to clinical responsibilities, fellows contribute meaningfully to teaching, supervision, and scholarly activity within the department. Maintaining continuity of these positions is necessary to prevent gaps in patient care, increased wait times, and undue burden on faculty clinicians. Importantly, postdoctoral fellows have been an integral and continuous part of the neuropsychology program since 2011, reflecting that these positions are established, core components of our clinical and training model.
