PEDIATRIC CLINICAL NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST

Qualified applicants should be license-eligible in the State of Wisconsin and board certified or eligible for ABPP / ABCN certification. This position is a faculty position in the Division of Child Neuropsychology in the Department of Neurology at MCW, and applicants at any rank (assistant, associate, or full professor) will be considered. Our faculty are dedicated to clinical, research, education, and community engagement.

Partnering with neurologists, neonatologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists and physiatrists, this neuropsychologist's clinical care and research will primarily focus on children who live in the Northeastern regions of Wisconsin and the surrounding communities. Patient care will be provided within the Children's Wisconsin hospital system and primarily in Ashwaubenon in ambulatory and multidisciplinary clinics.

The Department provides mentoring, research administrative support, and protected time for new faculty to establish their research program. Educational activities may also be available.
