This setting empowers our teams to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care while fostering professional growth and collaboration.
Position Overview
As neurological and neurodevelopmental specialties continue to expand throughout the MU Healthcare System the need for neuropsychological services far surpasses our availability. There will be various opportunities to support various pediatric medical specialties such as neurology, developmental-behavioral pediatrics, and neurosurgery, among others. The primary responsibility for this position is outpatient neuropsychological evaluations with essentially full psychometry support. As a major interdisciplinary academic medical center, multi-disciplinary clinics abound, either to join or to co-create.

We maintain an active and vibrant training program which includes an APA-accredited internship and APPCN-affiliated clinical neuropsychology fellowship. Intervention and research opportunities abound with strong support available from the Thompson Center’s Research Core, if the faculty member wishes to pursue. As autism diagnostic evaluations are a mainstay of our Center, should the applicant desire, incorporating these evaluations is also available but not required. Faculty members are also expected to contribute to service activities at the University, College, Department, and/or Thompson Center.
