We anticipate hiring an outstanding neuropsychologist clinician-scientist or clinician-educator with demonstrated expertise and training in the neuropsychology of epilepsy in the Department of Clinical Neuropsychology. Faculty appointment is possible and rank is open and commensurate with experience.
The Clinical Neuropsychologist will work primarily on the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit at the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI). In this capacity, the individual will be responsible for conducting neuropsychological assessments of a wide variety of patients with known or suspected epilepsy, and especially of surgical candidates, admitted to this unit. Responsibilities will also include participating in Wada testing. This position requires supervision of post-doctoral fellows/residents and/or psychometrists and active involvement in clinical or cognitive neuropsychological research. This position also requires conducting neuropsychological assessments in the Outpatient and Inpatient Neuropsychological Consultation Service, depending on the clinical workload.
Protected research time can be negotiated by individuals with clear promise (record of publications and/or funding) of establishing a vital and externally funded research program.
Persons not already board certified in neuropsychology will be expected to be certified within two years of employment. Board-certified, mid-career, or senior applicants can be considered for eventual appointment as training director of the residency program.
BNI has one of the largest and most successful neurosurgery programs in the country and is home to one of the very few independent and growing departments of clinical neuropsychology in the country. The department currently has 10 faculty, 6 residents, 2 psychometrists, and 4 support staff. The department enjoys strong, collaborative relationships with neurosurgery, neurology, neuroimaging, and rehabilitation medicine.
BNI offers a competitive salary and outstanding benefits package. Successful applicants must be licensed psychologists in the State of Arizona by the time of employment.
