The neuropsychologists at CHM support hospital populations with various neurological, neurosurgical, medical, psychiatric and sports related injuries. CHM neuropsychologists conduct traditional outpatient neuropsychological evaluations for a range of medical specialties; as well as provide consultation in our inpatient rehabilitation setting; and are integrated as part of multi-disciplinary teams within the following specialty clinics: concussion, epilepsy surgery, myelomeningocele, NICU and cardiology neurodevelopmental follow-up programs. Additionally, we provide coverage on our inpatient epilepsy monitoring unit and actively participate in weekly and bi-weekly epilepsy and deep brain stimulation surgical conferences.

In addition to clinical care, the incumbent neuropsychologist would be responsible for supervision of psychology externs and interns through our APA accredited doctoral internship program, which has been continually accredited by the APA since 1988.

Eligible applicants may apply for clinical (non-tenured) faculty privileges with an affiliated educational institution, (e.g., Wayne State University and/or Central Michigan University)

Salary and benefits are competitive and includes educational funding and fully paid malpractice with tail coverage. The ideal candidate will have strong written and verbal communication skills, experience working in a medical setting with multidisciplinary teams, teaching and supervisory experience, and a capability to see a wide range of conditions.
