Clinical Neuropsychologist

The Division of Rehabilitation Psychology in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Ohio State University is seeking to hire a Neuropsychologist with interest and experience in the assessment of patients with acquired disabilities from neurological and musculoskeletal injuries or medical conditions. Duties will entail working with a team of rehabilitation psychologists and neuropsychologists. Outpatient neuropsychological assessments are primarily for rehabilitation populations (e.g., stroke, mild to severe TBI and other forms of acquired brain injury) with strong emphasis on recommendations for return to work and ongoing treatment needs. While primary duties would include outpatient neuropsychological assessment, if there is an interest in outpatient psychotherapy/treatment this can be accommodated.  The faculty rank will be in accordance with the candidate’s qualifications.   We offer highly competitive pay, malpractice insurance and a great benefits package which includes a yearly CME fund. We are also a Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program Qualified Employer!

The Division of Rehabilitation Psychology currently includes 12 faculty members.  Three faculty members focus the majority of their time on research, while eight provide inpatient and outpatient services to specialized programs in stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, general rehabilitation, chronic pain, cancer, burn and neuromodulation. Seven of the Division’s psychologists have achieved board certification from the American Board of Professional Psychology in the area of Rehabilitation Psychology and 2 are board certified in Clinical Neuropsychology. Faculty participates in training of Post-Doctoral Fellows in the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology, as well as Residents in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.  Ohio State’s Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) has been an industry leader for more than 50 years. U.S. News & World Report has ranked our Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as one of the top programs in America and Newsweek recently ranked Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital #1 in Ohio for best Physical Rehabilitation Center. We are one of only five centers in the nation chosen to participate in the NeuroRecovery Network, which uses activity-based therapies for spinal cord injury rehabilitation.  Current faculty members in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation have established research programs in traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. Our researchers recently received an NIH grant for their UG3/UH3 project called “Comparing treatment approaches to promote inpatient rehabilitation effectiveness for traumatic brain injury (CARE4TBI). Ohio State University is one of the nation’s 16 sites funded under TBI Model Systems.  Our TBI Model System has been in place since 1997.  Our researchers also have a track record of funding through other federal and philanthropic sources.  We have been engaged in patient-centered and patient-guided research since the early 1990s, marked by the formation of the Ohio Valley Center Advisory Council in 1993.
