Baptist Behavioral Health, in affiliation with Baptist Medical Center and Wolfson Children's Hospital Jacksonville, is accepting applications for a two-year, full-time Clinical Neuropsychology postdoctoral fellowship. Baptist Health is a not-for-profit health system comprised of five nationally accredited hospitals, with over 1,400 beds in the Northeast Florida region. Our Behavioral Health department provides the full continuum of mental health services across outpatient, inpatient, and crisis management settings. The neuropsychology faculty serve a wide range of neuropsychiatric conditions across the lifespan.

The fellowship is designed to provide specialty training in the neuropsychological sciences and prepare trainees for independent clinical practice in a variety of settings across the lifespan. Training is structured to include robust assessment, diagnostic, and didactic experiences over the course of a two-year, full-time position. These specialized training experiences expand the fellow’s knowledge of brain-behavior relationships, enhance their skills in evaluation and treatment of neurobehavioral disorders, and facilitate professional development. Fellows use standardized assessments to understand the relationship between the brain, cognitive function, and observable behavior. The focus of such assessments varies, depending on the injury or suspected neurological disease and neuropsychological sequelae.

Successful applicants for this track will have completed their internship, defended their dissertation, and earned a doctoral degree in clinical or counseling psychology from an APA-accredited program (degree conferred prior to the start of training) prior to beginning the fellowship. It is preferred that applicants be U.S. citizens who have completed an APA-accredited internship. We encourage applications from those that have completed at least one practicum and/or internship year focused on neuropsychology within an integrated hospital setting; however, relevant academic and clinical experience will also be considered. Appropriate candidates for this fellowship have completed intensive coursework in neuropsychology, psychopathology, clinical interviewing, and neuropsychological assessment.
