Neuropsychologist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a neuropsychologist in Massachusetts?
You must earn a doctoral degree in psychology from an APA-accredited program, complete a supervised internship, and obtain licensure through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists, which requires passing the EPPP and satisfying supervised practice hours. Most Massachusetts health systems additionally require an APPCN-accredited postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology and strongly prefer candidates who hold or are pursuing board certification in clinical neuropsychology through ABPP.
Which companies hire neuropsychologists in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring neuropsychologists in Massachusetts right now include Verge Therapy, McLean Hospital, and LifeStance Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's density of major academic medical systems and pediatric specialty hospitals means many of these employers run dedicated neuropsychology divisions with ongoing hiring needs rather than one-off vacancies.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most neuropsychologist jobs?
Boston, Auburn, and Woburn have the most neuropsychologist openings in Massachusetts. Boston dominates because of its concentration of academic medical centers and teaching hospitals, while Worcester's hiring reflects UMass Memorial and a growing network of rehabilitation practices, and Springfield draws demand from Baystate Health and the region's expanding outpatient behavioral health infrastructure.
Are there remote neuropsychologist jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're relatively limited because neuropsychology relies heavily on in-person testing and direct patient observation. About 40% of neuropsychologist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and the roles most likely to accommodate remote work are report writing, consultation, and supervision rather than direct evaluation and assessment.
How can I get hired as a neuropsychologist in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a postdoctoral fellowship at a Massachusetts institution, since most licensed positions in the state require fellowship completion. Mass General Brigham, Boston Children's Hospital, and Boston Medical Center all offer structured neuropsychology fellowships that serve as the primary pipeline into staff roles. Candidates still in doctoral training can build competitive applications through practicum placements at VA Boston or Spaulding Rehabilitation, and sitting for the EPPP early to begin the Massachusetts licensure process gives applicants a clear edge over peers who wait.
Where can I find and apply to neuropsychologist jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to neuropsychologist jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings updated in real time. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
