A memory test looks simple from the outside — recall these words, draw this shape. What it's actually measuring is whether a stroke, an injury, or early dementia has quietly rewired how someone thinks. Reading that gap accurately, over video instead of in a clinic room, is the core skill this role is built around.
What the work is
You'd run neuropsychological assessments and therapy for people dealing with cognitive and psychological conditions — brain injuries, strokes, dementia, developmental differences in kids. Everything happens through telehealth: standardized testing adapted for virtual delivery, clinical interviews, therapy sessions that lean on cognitive rehabilitation techniques. The diagnostic rigor doesn't loosen just because the setting moved online.
What fills the week
- Conduct virtual assessments using standardized testing and clinical interviews to evaluate memory, attention, and problem-solving
- Turn assessment data into a coherent clinical picture, not just a stack of test scores
- Write detailed reports that physicians, educators, and caregivers can actually act on
- Build individualized treatment plans using evidence-based cognitive rehabilitation methods
- Adjust those plans as a patient's condition and progress shift over time
- Support patients emotionally alongside the clinical work, and coach caregivers on strategies that hold up day to day
- Run individual and group therapy sessions focused on cognitive and emotional resilience
- Coordinate with neurologists, psychiatrists, and primary care providers so care doesn't fragment across specialists
- Stay current on research in neuropsychology and cognitive science, and contribute to it where you can
What's required
A
Doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) with a focus in neuropsychology is required. A postdoctoral fellowship in the field is a strong advantage, though not strictly mandatory if your clinical background is otherwise solid. You'll also need an active psychologist license valid in the jurisdiction where you're practicing, and at least
3 years of clinical experience in neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation. Board certification in clinical neuropsychology is preferred.
Beyond the credentials, a few things really separate strong candidates:
- You can interpret dense psychological data and turn it into something a non-specialist can actually use
- You build trust with patients quickly, even without being in the same physical room
- You understand telehealth regulations well enough to stay compliant without second-guessing every session
- You're comfortable across cognitive disorders and neurodevelopmental conditions, not just one narrow specialty
- You know when a case needs a neurologist or psychiatrist pulled in, and you actually make that call
Also valuable
- Published research or conference presentations in neuropsychology
- Experience with pediatric neurodevelopmental assessment specifically
- Familiarity with multiple digital assessment platforms
Pay
This role pays
$185,500 annually. It's fully remote, with flexible scheduling that must accommodate patients and referring providers across different time zones.
What comes with it
- Full remote flexibility, with access to advanced assessment and treatment tools
- Funded continuing education, certification support, and conference attendance
- Support for research initiatives, including time to actually pursue them
- A clear path toward leadership roles for clinicians who want to grow beyond direct patient work
The team behind it
Complex cases here don't stay with one clinician working in a vacuum — there's a real culture of pulling in a neurologist or psychiatrist the moment a case calls for it, rather than pushing through alone. Naukri Mitra has placed neuropsychologists into remote clinical roles like this before, and one thing that consistently stands out is how much interdisciplinary consultation this team builds into everyday practice compared to typical solo telehealth setups. If your read on a case differs from a colleague's, that gets discussed openly rather than smoothed over.
Patients span a wide range of ages and conditions — kids with developmental challenges, adults recovering from strokes or brain injuries, older patients navigating early dementia. That range keeps the caseload from ever feeling routine, but it also means no single assessment approach works for everyone. Clinicians who adjust their method case by case tend to do best here.
Applying
Send your CV along with your licensure and board certification status, plus a short note on a complex case you've worked through and how you approached it — that tells us more than a general summary would. Licensed neuropsychologists based in the U.S., Canada, the UK, EU countries, Australia, India, and elsewhere are welcome to apply, provided you hold the required licensure. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
