Practical considerations for job application, interview, and negotiation in clinical neuropsychology

Doctoral trainees and early career neuropsychologists lack resources on the topics of job application, selection, and negotiation. The absence of such resources may place trainees entering the workforce at a critical disadvantage. This manuscript provides substantive information and recommendations for trainees and early career psychologists to achieve early career success.

The following manuscript includes a narrative review of considerations for prospective employment in neuropsychology.

We begin with a discussion of the job application process and then provide a summary of factors to consider in job selection and negotiation in clinical neuropsychology in multiple settings, including the topics of compensation, benefits, and productivity expectations.

This manuscript provides an overview of critical topics for early career success in clinical neuropsychology that could be incorporated into graduate and post-doctoral training curricula.
