Neuropsychologist

Neuropsychologist

Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute announces a search for a neuropsychologist with specific interest and experience in neurological diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Multiple Sclerosis. This individual will join the staff of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada and will have full testing support from psychometricians (including a bilingual Spanish speaking psychometrist) and/or trainees. The incoming neuropsychologist will interact with neurologists, psychiatrists, health psychologists, neurorehabilitation therapists, and brain imaging experts in an outpatient setting.

Primary responsibilities will include neuropsychological assessment with the assistance of a technician/advanced trainee, including record review, clinical interview, report writing, and providing feedback to patients, families, and referring providers. We currently offer opportunities for involvement in the education and training of practicum students from a clinical psychology doctoral program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and we also have historically had a competitive postdoctoral training program in clinical neuropsychology. Individuals with interest in educational and training leadership are strongly encouraged to apply. Additional opportunities for program development, working with professional athletes, and clinical intervention services, including involvement in the Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT) program for individuals living with mild cognitive impairment and their care partners, may also be available. Involvement in ongoing, center-wide research is also possible, as we have a strong presence of neuroimaging researchers with whom neuropsychology often collaborates, as well as available data from observational cohort-based studies.

Applicants should have completed a doctoral degree from an APA or CPA-accredited program in clinical psychology and a postdoctoral fellowship with specialization in clinical neuropsychology. Experience working with those with neurodegenerative conditions is strongly preferred. Eligibility for licensure in Nevada is essential, with the expectation of the successful candidate having or pursuing board certification in clinical neuropsychology. Significant institutional support is available for those pursuing board certification. Early-career professionals, including graduating fellows, are particularly encouraged to apply.

Interested parties can contact Karen Martinez, PhD ( View email address on click.appcast.io ) for more information.

Please include a current CV and cover letter with your application.

While many Las Vegas newcomers are awed by the nightlife and world of entertainment options, they are even more delighted with the myriad of housing options available citywide. Whether you are looking for rural seclusion, a lush, private master-planned community or high-rise living on the Las Vegas Strip, you will find the options endless. Clark County contains Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas the three biggest cities in Southern Nevada. Clark County's population based on the most recent U.S. Census figures indicates we have reached nearly two million residents. Las Vegas is known as the entertainment capital of the world and over the last couple of decades has garnered accolades for its fast-growing population, entrepreneurial atmosphere, unlimited housing and vast employment options. Las Vegas continues to expand its non-gaming industry base and is becoming a notable education and research community. Henderson has been consistently measured as one of the fastest growing communities in the nation. Las Vegas' little sister, Henderson has a population of just over 250,000. Just south of Las Vegas, Henderson is a vibrant suburb. Created for Basic Magnesium, Inc. defense plants during World War II, Henderson continues to evolve with the addition of its own entertainment and recreation. Henderson's main attraction is Lake Mead, the world's largest man-made lake and home to Hoover Dam. North Las Vegas is the third fastest-growing city in the nation with a population exceeding 200,000, and it is vibrant and independent city. A proactive city government has led the way in creating a technology hub in the area. The city is home to the bulk of Southern Nevada's manufacturing facilities. Located in the southeastern part of the valley, 25 miles from downtown Las Vegas and 10 miles outside of Henderson lies Boulder City, home of the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This small community preserves the charm of "small" town U.S.A. just minutes from the one of the most exciting cities in the world. Controlled growth and thoughtful planning make Boulder City an ideal choice for those seeking a hometown free from gaming. Planned Communities You might choose the mountain communities located in west and southwest Las Vegas. Mountain's Edge, Summerlin and Centennial Hills are all neighborhood communities that offer amazing vistas and landscapes. Southern Highlands in southwest Las Vegas is one of the newest areas near the airport and the trendy "south" Strip. You might prefer more established communities in the heart of the city near the Strip and resort corridor in Paradise Valley. There are also beautiful communities in Henderson just south of Las Vegas featuring championship golf courses and country clubs such as Green Valley Ranch, MacDonald's Highlands and Seven Hills.
