Job Summary

The Department of Psychology at the Children's Hospital of Michigan (CHM) is seeking a pediatric neuropsychologist to join our team. The neuropsychologists at CHM support hospital populations with various neurological, neurosurgical, medical, psychiatric and sports related injuries. CHM neuropsychologists conduct traditional outpatient neuropsychological evaluations for a range of medical specialties; as well as provide consultation in our inpatient rehabilitation setting; and are integrated as part of multi-disciplinary teams within the following specialty clinics: concussion, epilepsy surgery, myelomeningocele, NICU and cardiology neurodevelopmental follow-up programs. Additionally, we provide coverage on our inpatient epilepsy monitoring unit and actively participate in weekly and bi-weekly epilepsy and deep brain stimulation surgical conferences.

In addition to clinical care, the incumbent neuropsychologist would be responsible for supervision of psychology externs and interns through our APA accredited doctoral internship program, which has been continually accredited by the APA since 1988.

Competitive applicants must have a Psy.D./Ph.D. in clinical psychology from an APA or CPA accredited graduate program and have completed an APA accredited internship program. It is also expected that all neuropsychologist staff members have completed a formal two-year postdoctoral fellowship focused on specialty training in clinical neuropsychology. Given these perimeters, candidates are expected to be ABPP board-eligible or board certified.

Duties include: 1) conducting screenings, consultations, and evidence-based neuropsychological evaluations of children and adolescents with medical, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders; 2) teaching and supervision of residents and interns in topics relevant to neuropsychological assessment; and 3) engagement in research or other scholarly activities. Eligible applicants may apply for clinical (non-tenured) faculty privileges with an affiliated educational institution, (e.g., Wayne State University and/or Central Michigan University)

Salary and benefits are competitive and includes educational funding and fully paid malpractice with tail coverage. The ideal candidate will have strong written and verbal communication skills, experience working in a medical setting with multidisciplinary teams, teaching and supervisory experience, and a capability to see a wide range of conditions.
