A research coordinator has been integrated into the clinic setting for some time and will work in conjunction with the research psychologist.  Although all areas of research in neurodevelopment will be considered, some areas consistent with immediate initiatives without our team’s clinical focus include: development of assessment methodology for screening or diagnosis of ASD in low income or culturally diverse populations, transition services for young adults,  family adjustment to neurodevelopmental diagnosis, outpatient intensive treatment options for the management of severe or self-injurious behavior or sexual behaviors in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorder, and/or training and supporting medical providers in caring for patients with neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan.

Qualifications include the following: fluent English verbal communication skills, a Ph.D./Psy.D. from an APA-accredited clinical psychology graduate program with primary interest and background in clinical psychology, clinical internship in an APA accredited program, completion of a neuropsychological or clinical post-doctoral fellowship, and license eligibility in Ohio by start date.  We can provide additional training and supervision for candidates to achieve reliability on ADOS Modules; however, prior experience is with assessment of ASD is highly preferred.  This full-time faculty position will have a competitive salary for academic rank.
