Baylor College of Medicine and Department Summary:

The Psychology Division in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is recruiting a Pediatric Neuropsychologist to join our Psychology Division and support the growth of Texas Children's Hospital in Austin, Texas .  This neuropsychologist will join our growing team of more than 45 psychologists and neuropsychologists who currently practice throughout the Houston area, and 2 to3 psychologists who will be practicing in Austin. This is a faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank, with a strong clinical focus. In addition to patient care, all faculty members are expected to contribute to the College's academic mission.  Both independent and collaborative research/scholarship opportunities are available through partnership with other Division members, as well as colleagues across the system.

Austin is named one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas across the US each year, significantly increasing the number of families seeking pediatric healthcare care in the Central Texas region.  Texas Children's North Austin Campus will serve Austin families with the same high-quality patient care that's made Texas Children's Hospital #2 in the nation.

Texas Children's began its expansion into Austin in March 2018 with the opening of Texas Children's Urgent Care Westgate, and now includes 18 Texas Children's Pediatrics locations, as well as outpatient specialty care and maternal fetal medicine practices.  Our new hospital, under construction at 9835 North Lake Creek Parkway, will join our comprehensive and growing suite of pediatric, urgent care and specialty care services around the city in February 2024.
