Application materials must be received by January 15, 2021.
Please indicate if you are applying for the adult or pediatric neuropsychology position as we are recruiting for both.
Interviews will be scheduled in January and early February 2021, and will all be held virtually. On-site interviews will not be offered in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
You’ll have many options for your required didactics including:
-
VA Neuropsychology Case Conference & Grand Rounds
-
Psychiatry Grand Rounds
-
Pediatric and Adult Neurology Grand Rounds
-
CNS Case Conference
-
Epilepsy Surgery Conference
-
APPCN Virtual Neuropsychology Didactics (variable topics)
While you’re with us, you will participate in research and complete an independent project over the two years. You’ll have dedicated research time to do this. Our faculty research collaborations have included projects in TBI, epilepsy, neurooncology, clinical outcomes, FAS, ADHD, dyslexia, and alcohol abuse. CNS researchers often collaborate with the Mind Research Network (MRN), a world-class neuroimaging facility.
This postdoctoral fellowship focuses primarily on outpatient pediatric neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents with a range of medical, neurological, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric concerns. Clinical experiences will include multi-disciplinary pediatric assessment and/or consults (e.g., inpatient acute rehab evaluations, consultation in Pediatric Oncology Survivorship Clinic, prenatal drug exposure evaluations). You’ll also have additional clinical opportunities to round out your training (e.g., training in fMRI, adult neuropsychology).
This fellowship focuses primarily on the outpatient assessment of individuals with various neurologic, medical, and psychiatric conditions. You’ll have additional clinical experiences such as pre-and post-operative neuropsychological evaluations, Wada testing, fMRI for epilepsy and CNS tumor surgery candidates, intraoperative functional mapping during tumor resection surgery, and pre-surgical evaluations for patients with Parkinson’s Disease and essential tremor undergoing deep brain stimulator placement. You’ll also have the opportunity for minor rotations in various specialty clinics (e.g., inpatient cerebrovascular, clinical fMRI, Albuquerque VA Hospital). If you’re interested in other areas, such as pediatric assessment, we’ll work with you as well.
Our faculty currently includes three full-time pediatric and three full-time adult clinical neuropsychologists, as well as several part-time members. Three of our faculty are board-certified through ABPP. Our support staff includes an office manager and patient care coordinator, as well as three psychometrists.
