• Participate in the education of participants and parents with information regarding potential late effects from their medical treatment, as well as in making specific recommendations for interventions, accommodations, and services that may be beneficial in educational and vocational settings.
• Develop in-depth training knowledge in clinical psychology, neuropsychological theory, neuroanatomy, cognitive neuroscience, clinical neurology, neuropsychiatry, neuroimaging, and therapeutic interventions.
• Assist in the collection, recording, and scoring of various test data for clinical and/or research purposes.
• Assist in clinical research using specific protocol directions under the direct supervision of the attending neuropsychologist.

You Are:

• Adept at planning and prioritizing work to meet commitments aligned with organizational goals.
• Adept at building partnerships and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives and goals.
• An effective communicator, capable of determining how best to reach different audiences and communicate based on that understanding.
• Flexible in your approach and demeanor to align with the shifting demands of evolving circumstances.

You Have:

• A Master's degree in Psychology with 2+ years of professional experience in assessing infants, children, adolescents, and young adults
• Experience working with pediatric populations of various ages
