Academic Research Psychologist/Clinical Psychologist for Autism Program

  

The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology (CAPP) at MetroHealth Medical Center/Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is seeking a full-time neuropsychologist or clinical psychologist for an immediate opening in our interdisciplinary autism assessment clinic. This position is intended for a research clinician. The position includes protected research time for an initial period of up to 3 years, contingent on satisfactory research productivity, with the goal of transitioning to extramural research funding and/or an adjusted clinical effort over time. The Division faculty provide clinical care within a medical setting, including our interdisciplinary Autism and Neurobehavior Clinic located in the MetroHealth Parma Medical Center in Parma, Ohio. All faculty have academic appointments at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine commensurate with experience and are expected to be actively involved in academic training activities. There is a strong tradition of interprofessional, integrated care service delivery models in this academic health system.

 

We are seeking candidates with experience in the assessment of patients with developmental disabilities [i.e., formal training or willingness to achieve reliability on all ADOS Modules] and research interests consistent with clinical practice in neurodevelopmental disorders, including, but not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorder.  The Autism and Neurobehavior Clinic is an interdisciplinary clinic providing high-quality, diagnostic and assessment services to individuals across the lifespan with suspected ASDs from diverse backgrounds. Treatment, medical, and patient support services are also integrated into the clinic setting where we have a goal of taking care of the full person in a comprehensive manner. We are a dynamic and driven group of professionals devoted to serving the patients of Northern Ohio with cultural humility in a wellness focused manner. The primary responsibilities for this position will include provision of diagnostic or neuropsychological evaluation to patients with neurodevelopmental concerns, supervision of neurodevelopmental and pediatric neuropsychology residents and fellows, and participation in the academic medical education of medical students, residents, and fellows. Prior research in the broad area of neurodevelopmental disorders is required as building research opportunities in our clinic is a primary expectation for this position. 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. 

 

In employment, as in education, MetroHealth System and Case Western Reserve University are committed to Equal Opportunity and World Class Diversity.  Please email vitae and a letter outlining clinical and academic interests to Britt Nielsen, PsyD, ABPP (Chief of Psychology) via Eloy Vazquez evazquez@metrohealth.org
