Neuropsychology Research Fellowship

Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychology

Aging and Alzheimer's Neuropsychology Track

The Mass General Brigham Fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology (formerly known as the Harvard Partners Consortium) seeks candidates for a 2-year fellowship, in the Aging and Alzheimer’s Neuropsychology track, to begin on September 1, 2024. This fellowship has a predominant research focus in addition to providing excellent clinical training. The joint BWH/MGH fellowship is a program of Harvard Medical School. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply.

The fellowship program is designed to provide excellent clinical training in neuropsychology and opportunities to conduct research in the Harvard Aging Brain Study. Experiences and didactics conform to Houston Conference/Division 40 training requirements so that fellows will be successful in obtaining board-certification (ABPP) in clinical neuropsychology.

This fellowship track is a two-year program of full-time education and training that takes place across two sites: the Division of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and the Harvard Aging Brain Study (HABS) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) at Charlestown Navy Yard. The program schedule is divided into clinical activities at BWH, clinical trial activities at BWH, and clinical research in aging and Alzheimer’s disease at MGH HABS for the duration of the fellowship.

During the first year of the program, fellows will engage in clinical training and neuropsychology didactics, as well as participating in assessment in clinical trials and research projects at MGH HABS. The second year, fellows will continue with clinical training at BWH and focus more time at MGH HABS on research related activities. The training experience is enriched by a highly collaborative teaching environment in which the fellow will work closely with neuropsychologists, behavioral neurologists, psychiatrists, and others with a special interest in brain and behavior.

A competitive stipend ($69,300) plus excellent benefits are offered. An academic appointment will be made as a Clinical Fellow at Harvard Medical School.
