The section currently includes 21 pediatric neuropsychologists, 6 psychologists, 4 psychometrists and 2 scoring clerks.
The Pediatric Neuropsychologist-Oncology Focus will provide clinical services within the Division of Oncology, joining a multidisciplinary team of psychosocial providers (neuropsychologists, pediatric psychologists, psychometrists, social workers, educational coordinators, child life and creative therapists) and oncology clinicians responsible for the care of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients. Clinical services include outpatient screening, consultation and brief intervention, and targeted and comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. Clinical populations encompass a range of Oncology diagnoses (e.g., leukemias, brain tumor) and associated clinical programs, including comprehensive vascular anomalies, hematology/blood disorders, genetic predisposition syndromes, and immunodeficiencies. There are multiple opportunities for involvement in clinical research, quality improvement initiatives, training, and program development.
Consistent with the mission of CHOP, neuropsychologists have opportunities to participate in training of future healthcare providers, through the section’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and department’s APA-accredited Pre-Doctoral Psychology Internship, as well as opportunities to work with psychology practicum students from area universities.

We are currently recruiting for one neuropsychologist position at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia. More information below. Postings are coming soon, but please also send an email/cover letter and CV to [email protected] and [email protected].
This position is part of a recent expansion of our neuropsychology department’s geriatric assessment and intervention clinic servicing our hospital. Part of the position will involve assessment and treatment of medically and psychiatrically complex older Veterans with neurocognitive disorders and often challenging psychosocial and caregiver needs, and experience in neuropsychological evaluation with this population is highly preferred. Ability to work as part of an interprofessional team will also be key to this position, as the neuropsychologist will be embedded within larger clinical teams and will provide education to clinicians from other services around the role of neuropsychology in the care of older adults. Assessments will be conducted within the Behavioral Health Service and Geriatric Patient Aligned Care Teams. Intervention will involve delivery of cognitive remediation services in individual and group format. The neuropsychologist will also be expected to provide patients and caregivers with feedback, psychoeducation, and support. Finally, supervision and training of neuropsychology students will be integral to this position, as the successful candidate will work within our large practicum, internship and fellowship programs.
The position will be joining a thriving and well-regarded Psychology Department. CMCVAMC Psychology is organized as a section within Behavioral Health and has grown in the past ten years to over 70 doctoral level psychologists working in a wide range of clinical and research settings. The CMCVAMC has an extensive history of excellence in health profession education; psychology training includes a large practicum program which includes neuropsychology students, an accredited psychology internship program with a dedicated neuropsychology position, and an accredited-on-contingency postdoctoral residency program in neuropsychology that functions alongside several other parallel psychology fellowship programs. The CMCVAMC is home to five VA Centers of Excellence and is adjacent to and closely affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, offering an atmosphere of rigorous academic research and clinical applications. In recognition of our diverse Veteran population, our Psychology Department strives to approach patient care through a lens of cultural humility. The opportunities provided by the interprofessional Behavioral Health Diversity Team and Psychology training program assist providers in growing their cultural competence as well as engaging in self-reflection.
While the VA and the Psychology department are both great draws for these positions, the city itself also has significant appeal. Philadelphia is an exciting hub for education, culture and diversity. Known as the “City of Brotherly Love,” it is the fifth largest city in the United States. With a wealth of American history, active art community, sports teams, and cuisine, Philadelphia also boasts the world’s largest landscaped urban park. Philadelphia is centrally located in the Northeast, only a short car or train ride to Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New York City and about an hour from the Jersey shore and the Pocono Mountains. Not been to Philly, or just want to experience it for a few minutes? Check out this video created by one of our fabulous psychologists!

Pediatric Neuropsychologist-Oncology Focus
The Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (DCAPBS) of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) anticipates hiring a pediatric neuropsychologist to join the Section of Neuropsychology and Assessment in a newly planned role. The section currently includes 21 pediatric neuropsychologists, 6 psychologists, 4 psychometrists and 2 scoring clerks.
The Pediatric Neuropsychologist-Oncology Focus will provide clinical services within the Division of Oncology, joining a multidisciplinary team of psychosocial providers (neuropsychologists, pediatric psychologists, psychometrists, social workers, educational coordinators, child life and creative therapists) and oncology clinicians responsible for the care of pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients. Clinical services include outpatient screening, consultation and brief intervention, and targeted and comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. Clinical populations encompass a range of Oncology diagnoses (e.g., leukemias, brain tumor) and associated clinical programs, including comprehensive vascular anomalies, hematology/blood disorders, genetic predisposition syndromes, and immunodeficiencies. There are multiple opportunities for involvement in clinical research, quality improvement initiatives, training, and program development.
Consistent with the mission of CHOP, neuropsychologists have opportunities to participate in training of future healthcare providers, through the section’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and department’s APA-accredited Pre-Doctoral Psychology Internship, as well as opportunities to work with psychology practicum students from area universities. Teaching opportunities are also available with medical and other healthcare trainees. Participation in multidisciplinary quality improvement projects and clinical research is an integral component of this position.
Psychologists and neuropsychologists at CHOP are expected to apply for a faculty appointment through the Department of Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania (rank commensurate with experience).
CHOP is committed to building an inclusive culture where employees feel a sense of belonging, connection, and community within their workplace. We are a team dedicated to fostering an environment that allows for all to be their authentic selves. We are focused on attracting, cultivating, and retaining diverse talent who can help us deliver on our mission to be a world leader in the advancement of healthcare for children. We strongly encourage all candidates of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences to apply.
We welcome confidential inquiries and applications from qualified candidates at all experience levels. Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter to Thomas Flynn, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, Section Chief, Neuropsychology & Assessment ([email protected]).

We are currently recruiting for one neuropsychologist position at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia. More information below. Postings are coming soon, but please also send an email/cover letter and CV to [email protected] and [email protected].
This position is part of a recent expansion of our neuropsychology department’s geriatric assessment and intervention clinic servicing our hospital. Part of the position will involve assessment and treatment of medically and psychiatrically complex older Veterans with neurocognitive disorders and often challenging psychosocial and caregiver needs, and experience in neuropsychological evaluation with this population is highly preferred. Ability to work as part of an interprofessional team will also be key to this position, as the neuropsychologist will be embedded within larger clinical teams and will provide education to clinicians from other services around the role of neuropsychology in the care of older adults. Assessments will be conducted within the Behavioral Health Service and Geriatric Patient Aligned Care Teams. Intervention will involve delivery of cognitive remediation services in individual and group format. The neuropsychologist will also be expected to provide patients and caregivers with feedback, psychoeducation, and support. Finally, supervision and training of neuropsychology students will be integral to this position, as the successful candidate will work within our large practicum, internship and fellowship programs.
The position will be joining a thriving and well-regarded Psychology Department. CMCVAMC Psychology is organized as a section within Behavioral Health and has grown in the past ten years to over 70 doctoral level psychologists working in a wide range of clinical and research settings. The CMCVAMC has an extensive history of excellence in health profession education; psychology training includes a large practicum program which includes neuropsychology students, an accredited psychology internship program with a dedicated neuropsychology position, and an accredited-on-contingency postdoctoral residency program in neuropsychology that functions alongside several other parallel psychology fellowship programs. The CMCVAMC is home to five VA Centers of Excellence and is adjacent to and closely affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, offering an atmosphere of rigorous academic research and clinical applications. In recognition of our diverse Veteran population, our Psychology Department strives to approach patient care through a lens of cultural humility. The opportunities provided by the interprofessional Behavioral Health Diversity Team and Psychology training program assist providers in growing their cultural competence as well as engaging in self-reflection.
While the VA and the Psychology department are both great draws for these positions, the city itself also has significant appeal. Philadelphia is an exciting hub for education, culture and diversity. Known as the “City of Brotherly Love,” it is the fifth largest city in the United States. With a wealth of American history, active art community, sports teams, and cuisine, Philadelphia also boasts the world’s largest landscaped urban park. Philadelphia is centrally located in the Northeast, only a short car or train ride to Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New York City and about an hour from the Jersey shore and the Pocono Mountains. Not been to Philly, or just want to experience it for a few minutes? Check out this video created by one of our fabulous psychologists!
