The Department of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine offers a two-year postdoctoral fellowship position in pediatric neuropsychology. WCM/NYPH offers training in the scientist/clinician model for neuropsychologists who are interested in becoming academic leaders. 

The fellowship is designed to provide advanced training in Clinical Neuropsychology following the guidelines of the Houston Conference so as to prepare the fellow to become certified in Clinical Neuropsychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology/American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABPP/ABCN) and to complete the Subspecialty Certification in Pediatric Neuropsychology.

The Division of Neuropsychology within the Department of Psychiatry consists of six neuropsychologists, two of whom work with individuals across the lifespan and will serve as the fellow’s primary supervisors. One of those supervisors is an ABPP certified neuropsychologist and pediatric subspecialist and the other supervisor is in the process of attaining board certification. Both neuropsychologists bring to supervision a variety of developmental models and theoretical orientations. The fellow will receive training and experience working with individuals ranging in age from toddlerhood through young adulthood - in both inpatient and outpatient settings.  Clinical cases primarily involve patients who present with a variety of psychiatric illnesses with accompanying cognitive symptoms and/or comorbid medical illnesses (e.g., autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders, seizure disorders, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse). Training is based on an apprenticeship model in which the fellows work closely with clinical neuropsychologists. Extensive experience in report writing that integrates demographic, historical, medical, and psychological information is emphasized. The fellow will also gain considerable experience in providing oral feedback to patients, family members, treatment team members, and school personnel. Additionally, the fellow will assist in teaching practicum students methods of assessment, scoring, interpretation, and report writing. These exams, as well as the fellow’s supervision techniques, will be supervised by an attending.

The primary focus of our postdoctoral program is clinical training, with clinical activities comprising approximately 60% of the fellow’s time. The remaining time will be devoted to education and to research. A broad range of didactics are offered including neuropsychology case conferences, neuropsychology seminars, psychiatry grand rounds, and psychology rounds. The fellow will also work closely with a research mentor. Areas of research may include using cognitive and affective neuroscience techniques (MRI, EEG) to investigate the neurobiology of developmental disorders, the development of the social brain, the development of novel treatment approaches (e.g., transcranial magnetic stimulation, cognitive remediation approaches, behavioral interventions) for psychiatric and/or cognitive symptoms, and a longitudinal study evaluating cognitive and psychiatric outcomes after COVID-19. The goal will be to submit a scholarly work to relevant conferences (e.g., INS, AACN) and to peer-reviewed journals.

Please note that we are not currently recruiting for this position.
