Full job description

The UPMC Sports Concussion Program (APPIC #9139) is seeking applicants for a 2-year post-doctoral fellowship position. The UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program is involved in concussion management at all levels of sports participation, including professional, collegiate, high school, and recreational. The program is based within the department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the UPMC Center for Sports Medicine.

Fellow duties will primarily consist of brief and extended neuropsychological evaluations of child and adult athletes with sports and recreation-related concussion. In addition, the clinic receives referrals for neuropsychological evaluations of patients with non-sport TBI, as well as other neurological and psychiatric disorders. The volume of patient referrals is high and extensive programmatic research is ongoing. Involvement in research is encouraged through the provision of dedicated research time on a weekly basis.

The appointment is a 24-month, full time position, beginning in August 2027. A doctoral degree in psychology, completion of an APA-accredited internship, and training in neuropsychological assessment are required.
