Pediatric Neuropsychologist in an Academic Medical Setting

Details

The Division of Pediatric Psychiatry and Behavioral Health in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Utah Spencer F. Eccles School of Medicine has an immediate opening for a Pediatric Neuropsychologist. As part of an interdisciplinary medical psychiatry/psychology team, the pediatric neuropsychologist will provide neuropsychological assessments and consultations to youth with a wide range of chronic medical illnesses at Primary Children's Hospital (PCH), specific pediatric subspecialty clinics, and the Pediatric Behavioral Health Clinic. Although a variety of patient populations are seen, common conditions include acquired brain injury, epilepsy, and congenital disorders affecting central nervous system development. A range of neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g. AD/HD, learning disorders, and autism spectrum) are also common, though typically only evaluated in children with comorbid medical conditions. In addition to clinical service, there is an expectation for academic work, including teaching, research, administration, as well as advocacy.

The Department and University offers a competitive salary and an unmatched benefits program, including non-contributory retirement contributions of 20.2% of annual salary that vest immediately. The Department offers a faculty development and mentoring program designed to foster success in translational or basic research, quality improvement engagement, and excellence as educators.

Salt Lake City offers an incredible quality of life with a growing economy, rich cultural scene with ballet, theatre, symphony, opera, live music, museums, outstanding restaurants, and a moderate cost of living. The city is a well-known ski destination and a gateway to the state's renowned landscapes. In addition to its 14 ski resorts, Utah boasts five scenic national parks (with five more within a day's drive), a variety of golf courses allowing for year-round play, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails (some leaving from adjacent to the hospital), and numerous other outdoor activities.

Qualified candidates must have a doctoral degree in clinical, counseling, or school psychology from an accredited program; and must possess experience in the neuropsychological assessment of medically ill children and adolescents. Completion of a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology and board eligibility or board certification in clinical neuropsychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology are preferred. The selected candidate will receive a faculty appointment in the Department of Pediatrics on the Clinical or Tenure track at the academic level commensurate with experience and qualifications.

The University of Utah Health (U of U Health) is a patient focused center distinguished by collaboration, excellence, leadership, and respect. The U of U Health values candidates who are committed to fostering and furthering the culture of compassion, collaboration, innovation, accountability, diversity, integrity, quality, and trust that is integral to our mission.
