Job Title: Associate Professor, Term Tenure Track

The Section of Neuropsychology in the Neuro-Oncology Department seeks a board-certified/board-eligible neuropsychologist with cognitive neuroimaging expertise. The academic appointment will be made at a level commensurate with the candidate’s experience. Evidence of an established independent research program (peer-reviewed publications and active extramural funding) or potential to establish and maintain extramural funding is required.

Major responsibilities of the position include provision of clinical neuropsychological services within the adult outpatient clinic and development of an innovative program of research involving neuroimaging. Additional opportunities exist to mentor and supervise postdoctoral fellows in our APPCN fellowship program and participate in didactics for faculty, fellows, residents and students within the institution.

The Section of Neuropsychology runs an active consultation-liaison service within a robust multidisciplinary framework with rich potential to expand neuropsychological research, including an integrated brain cancer clinic, access to state of the art imaging technology, an extensive historical patient database, an exceptional infrastructure, and established collaborative relationships with scientists and clinicians in the world’s largest cancer center and with other institutions in the Texas Medical Center. The section receives consult requests from every clinical division in the institute.  Approximately 50% of the patients referred have a known structural brain lesion (e.g., primary or metastatic brain tumor) for which preoperative fMRI, pre- and postoperative neuropsychological assessments, longitudinal evaluation of cognitive, behavioral, emotional and functional well-being, and management and intervention strategies are offered; the other 50% of patients are referred for assessment of traditional adult neuro-medical disorders and provision of management and intervention strategies (e.g., dementia, seizure disorders, stroke, psychological and psychiatric comorbidities, discharge and return to work planning, capacity evaluations, behavioral management, and compensatory and restorative interventions).

The Section of Neuropsychology is academically situated in the Department of Neuro-Oncology and currently consists of three ABPP/ABCN certified neuropsychologists, two postdoctoral fellowship positions, four psychometricians and administrative support.  Faculty within the section currently conduct funded research in the areas of neurotoxicity associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, imaging correlates and genetic predictors of cognitive dysfunction, and pharmacological, behavioral interventions to prevent or ameliorate cognitive dysfunction and other adverse symptoms (e.g., fatigue), and lead the neuropsychological aspects of numerous national and international multisite clinical trials. Refer to the Department of Neuro-Oncology Web page for additional information about the department and its programs.

Required:

• Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
• Fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology
• Licensed or license eligible in the State of Texas
• Board-certified/board-eligible in neuropsychology (preference given to ABPP/ABCN)

Preference will be given to candidates with a record of excellent clinical skills and a proven track record of scholarly activity, publications and collaborative research. Salary and start up package is market-competitive and commensurate with experience and academic qualifications. MD Anderson offers an excellent benefits package including generous vacation time, funded continuing education, and relocation assistance.
