Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Fellows

The Department of Neurology at the University of California, at Davis will have openings for two neuropsychology postdoctoral fellows to begin September 1, 2025. The positions will be based on the UC Davis Medical Center campus in Sacramento CA. We typically have 3-4 neuropsychology postdoctoral fellows in the program at any given time. Fellows participate in clinical, didactic and scholarly/research activities. This is primarily a clinically based postdoctoral fellowship, although we can also accommodate trainees who are seeking greater research experience and want to pursue an academic career. Clinical work focuses on conducting both comprehensive as well as more brief neuropsychological assessments. Opportunities for treatment are also available, including involvement in group-based brain health interventions for older adults. We offer an extensive didactic program, as well as numerous other training opportunities typical of a large university medical center.   Fellows will conduct evaluations on adults with a wide variety of neurological disorders including: various dementias (e.g., AD, FTD, Primary Progressive Aphasia syndromes), epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, CNS tumors, stroke, MS, TBI, etc. Participation in Wada testing and intra-operative and extra-operative cortical brain mapping is also available and fellows regularly attend case conference associated with the epilepsy and deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgical programs. These are all two-year positions with competitive annual salary (approximately $72,000) plus benefits.
