Job description

The Center for Neuropsychology within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, in
coordination with the Department of Neurology at BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL are seeking a pediatric neuropsychologist for a full-time position providing neuropsychological services to the Multidisciplinary Neurofibromatosis Program.

The Multidisciplinary Neurofibromatosis team at Boston Children’s Hospital offers comprehensive
diagnostic evaluations, follow-up care, and genetic counseling. The program is involved in innovative
clinical trials and treatment approaches through national research collaborations as well as our own
research program. The neuropsychologist will collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to provide
ongoing neuropsychological consultation and services as well as clinical research.

The neuropsychologist will join our Center for Neuropsychology that includes 13 staff neuropsychologists in the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences with direct integration across multiple departments and multi-disciplinary programs including Neurology, Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology and Communication Enhancement and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The Center for Neuropsychology is also a member postdoctoral training site of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN) and the candidate will be a member of the training faculty. Consistent with all Harvard Medical School faculty, the candidate will have an active role in teaching and clinical supervision across the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology. The candidate will provide both direct clinical care and be an integral part of on-going and future research programs within the Neurofibromatosis team. This position is for an early to mid-career neuropsychologist with salary and Harvard Medical School faculty appointment, likely at the Instructor or Assistant Professor level, commensurate with experience. Ongoing teaching and/or supervision will be required.

An earned doctorate from an APA/CPA accredited doctoral program and completion of an accredited
internship are required as well as a postdoctoral residency in clinical neuropsychology. Competitive
candidates for this position will have comprehensive training in pediatric neuropsychology, preferably in a medical setting. Candidates must be licensed by the Massachusetts Board of Registration of
Psychologists at the time of hiring.
