Clinical Neuropsychology position(s) (academic appointment rank open)
Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI), Phoenix, Arizona, consistently ranked in the Top 15 institutions
for neurology and neurosurgery by US News, has an opening for one to two Clinical
Neuropsychologists with expertise in bilingual (Spanish/English) neuropsychological assessment
and treatment. Although the positon is for a generalist clinical neuropsychologist, persons with
additional expertise and interest in cross-cultural issues, geriatrics and/or rehabilitation are
especially welcome to apply. The individual will primarily conduct outpatient neuropsychological
evaluations of individuals with known or suspected brain disorders. Inpatient/rehabilitation
evaluations may also be required.
Faculty members in the department participate in training neuropsychology residents (BNI
currently takes 2-3 fellows per year in an APPCN-approved program).
The BNI is home to the world-renowned Muhammad Ali movement disorders center, an endowed
ALS center, a large Alzheimer’s center, and an epilepsy center. Neurosurgery (home also to the
Center for Neuromodulation) is one of the largest departments in the world. The neuropsychology
department currently has 12 faculty, 4 fellows, and 7 psychometrists. Faculty include also two
rehabilitation psychologists.
Candidates must be licensable as a psychologist in Arizona. If not already board-certified in
neuropsychology, the individual will be expected to be ABPP-certified within three years of
employment.
The institution offers a highly competitive salary and excellent fringe benefits. Phoenix enjoys
wonderful recreation, sports and arts opportunities, a relatively low cost of living for a major city,
and given its climate, is a major tourist destination.
Interested candidates should send a letter of interest and curriculum vitae to:
Alexander I. Tröster, Ph.D., Professor and Chair
