Neuropsychology Central

I'm wondering if anyone has information on how to search for postdocs/fellowships in neuropsychology. Since I already looked on the Div40 and APPCN websites for those participating in the match, I'm looking for other postdocs that are not listed. Any ideas??

Students planning to pursue postdoctoral training in clinical neuropsychology have the advantage of a more clear-cut post-internship phase than many of their peers, thanks to the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology. Each year, APPCN hosts a Resident Matching Program, a process that places applicants in postdocs throughout the United States and Canada.

Only training sites that offer a postdoc experience that meets the standards established at the National Academy of Neuropsychology's 1998 Houston Conference on Specialty Education and Training in Clinical Neuropsychology can participate in the match: To qualify, programs must include a research component and have a board-certified neuropsychologist on staff, for example. Last year, 110 training programs participated in the match. Approximately 60 percent of applicants match in the initial round each year, says Deborah Weber, PhD, chair of the Association of Neuropsychology Students in Training, the student arm of APA's Div. 40. Weber found her three-year postdoc in pediatric neuropsychology at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., through the 2004 APPCN match.
