Applicants who have special needs that might require an accommodation during the interview are encouraged to share this information with the Postdoctoral Residency Training Director. The program is committed to providing access for all people with disabilities and will provide reasonable accommodations if notified within one week prior to the scheduled interview.

For the non-neuropsychology positions, we will notify applicants as soon as we know their status. In addition, the residency will observe the 2024-25 Postdoctoral Selection Standards set forth by APPIC. We will therefore make offers on a rolling basis and honor the Common Hold Date. 

For the neuropsychology positions, the match and notification dates of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN) are observed.

Note: Availability of positions may vary by year. Current available positions are noted on rank order sheet. Applicants to the Pediatric and Adult Neuropsychology Residency positions must participate in the APPCN national matching system.
