Strength in oral and written communication and a passion for writing and empirically-based practice are essential. The candidate will ideally have experience in the management of concussion-related disorders and an interest in sports and athlete populations. Job responsibilities include neuropsychological evaluation and assessment, providing feedback and education to families and other healthcare professionals and members of the community (e.g. schools and athletic organizations), working with other staff to coordinate cognitive baseline programs for schools and organizations throughout the Los Angeles Metro area, clinical administrative duties and report-writing, and managing/supervising clinical students and personnel. The ideal candidate will have experience working with an interdisciplinary treatment team in a rehabilitation and/or assessment setting. Experience with writing and publishing in peer-reviewed journals and/or other media is preferred.

Report writing, verbal communication with referral sources, feedback sessions with patients, treatment planning and exposure to the complexities of managed care contracts and billing will be important aspects of the position. Other responsibilities will include the preparation of articles for publication, assisting in writing grant proposals, and designing and implementing procedures for research coordination and data analysis.
