Job Description Summary This is an on‑site position located in Columbus, Ohio.
Summary and Purpose of Position Psychometrists are responsible for the administration and scoring of neuropsychological and psychological tests under the direct supervision of a clinical neuropsychologist. Neuropsychological testing primarily involves the administration and scoring of paper‑and‑pencil cognitive tests (e.g., tests of memory, attention, language, problem solving) and mental health questionnaires. Additionally, the psychometrist notes behavioral observations during the assessment that may be used by the neuropsychologist to aid in test interpretation. The psychometrist may also be responsible for collecting demographic information from a patient as well as other tasks, as assigned.
Our patient population consists of adults of all ages (18‑90+) with neurological, medical, and psychiatric conditions. The most common referral diagnoses include neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias), movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis. Patients often also have comorbid psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety).
The ideal candidate for this position will be detail‑oriented, conscientious, efficient, flexible, and will enjoy working within a collaborative team. They should be able to quickly learn and become independent on administration and scoring procedures for neuropsychological testing, and will be committed to providing a high standard of patient care. Previous clinical experience is strongly preferred but not required. Previous relevant experience, coursework, or clinical training is strongly preferred. All applicants are required to submit a cover letter with their application.
