Clinical Neuropsychologist: The Department of Neurology at Vanderbilt University is seeking two excellent early career neuropsychologists for Assistant Professor positions. These positions are structured for clinical neuropsychologists in a general medicine setting, with an emphasis in degenerative conditions in a busy outpatient practice. Involvement in our neurosurgery program doing evaluations for deep brain stimulation (DBS), focus-ultrasound, and the normal pressure hydrocephalus clinic will be expected for at least one of the candidates. The candidates would join a growing Cognitive & Behavioral Neurology Division that includes eight neurologists and seven neuropsychologists, in addition to several advanced practice providers, psychometrists, and neuroscientists. Full psychometrist support will be provided.

In addition to providing outpatient care through the multidisciplinary Cognitive & Behavioral Neurology Division Memory Clinic, there is the potential for protected time for the appropriate candidate to develop an independent research program. Vanderbilt University Medical Center has outstanding neuroscience resources to support basic, clinical, and translational research activities, including the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical & Translational Research, the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science, the Vanderbilt Brain Institute, and the Vanderbilt Memory & Alzheimer’s Center. Involvement in training practicum students and/or postdoctoral fellows in neuropsychology will be considered.
