About Beacon Light Psychological Services
Beacon Light Psychological Services (BLPS) is a group practice in downtown Portland, Maine, offering evaluations, therapy, and parent coaching to children, adolescents, and families. We’re hiring a full-time pediatric neuropsychologist or assessment psychologist, as a W-2 employee, who is committed to thorough, evidence-based evaluation of children and adolescents and wants to grow with a small, collaborative team.
This position is open to licensed or license-eligible psychologists (PhD or PsyD) in Maine, including those trained in pediatric neuropsychology, clinical, school, or counseling psychology.
Why BLPS
Founded in 2022, BLPS is committed to high-quality care, responsiveness, and evaluations that translate insight into meaningful action for the families we serve. We value evaluations that are practical: comprehensive in scope, focused on the concerns that prompted the referral, and built around clear, actionable recommendations for families and schools.
We have a steady flow of evaluation referrals from families and from a strong network of outside referral sources in the community. Our practice administrator handles scheduling, intake forms, and sending client, parent, and teacher questionnaires, and we use effective systems to reduce the time spent on non-clinical tasks, so you can focus on clinical work. Our report template is designed to be genuinely useful for parents and providers, including a one-page summary of key findings and recommendations. Evaluators have access to an extensive test library, with ongoing consultation and case review with a pediatric neuropsychologist. As a growing practice, BLPS offers room for clinicians to contribute to program development, as well as opportunities in supervision and leadership.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in pediatric neuropsychologist jobs.
- Doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) in clinical or neuropsychology from an APA-accredited program
- Completion of an APA-accredited internship and postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology
- Licensure as a psychologist in the state of employment or eligibility to obtain licensure

Tips for Your Pediatric Neuropsychologist Job Search
Tailor your CV for pediatric populations
Hiring committees in pediatric settings scan for assessment battery experience with children specifically. List the age ranges you've tested, the instruments you've used, and any experience with school-based consultation or pediatric inpatient settings, not just your general neuropsychology training.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists pediatric neuropsychologist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight your supervision and training credentials
Many pediatric neuropsychologist postings require ABPP board certification eligibility or active pursuit. State exactly where you are in the board certification process and name any formal supervision hours completed under a board-certified neuropsychologist, vague timelines raise doubts.
Target postings by clinical population, not just title
Job titles vary widely: some postings say 'pediatric neuropsychologist,' others say 'pediatric neuropsychology fellow' or 'child neuropsychologist.' Search by clinical population terms like autism, epilepsy, or oncology to surface relevant openings your keyword searches miss.
Prepare case-based examples for interviews
Pediatric neuropsychology interviews frequently include case vignettes involving complex diagnostic questions, such as differentiating ADHD from a learning disability in a child with a history of prematurity. Prepare two or three detailed case walkthroughs that show your reasoning process from referral question to feedback.
Negotiate protected time for research or training
Academic medical centers and children's hospitals often have flexibility on protected time for research, teaching, or supervision responsibilities. Ask about this structure during the offer stage, it rarely appears in the posting itself but can significantly shape your long-term career development.
Pediatric Neuropsychologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most pediatric neuropsychologists?
The companies hiring the most pediatric neuropsychologists right now include Advocate Aurora Health, Emory Healthcare, and Emory University, with the largest share of openings in Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Children's hospital systems and academic medical centers tend to post the highest volume of openings at any given time.
How many pediatric neuropsychologist jobs are remote?
About 57% of pediatric neuropsychologist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of in-person assessment. Telehealth opportunities are most common for feedback sessions, consultation roles, and scoring or report-writing positions rather than direct assessment work, which still requires an in-person testing environment.
How do you become a pediatric neuropsychologist?
Becoming a pediatric neuropsychologist starts with a doctoral degree in clinical psychology or neuropsychology from an APA-accredited program, followed by an APA-accredited internship with pediatric training. After that, a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology provides the supervised hours required for state licensure and, eventually, board certification through the American Board of Professional Psychology.
How do you get hired as a pediatric neuropsychologist with limited experience?
Candidates with limited post-fellowship experience do best when they apply to positions that explicitly welcome new fellows, emphasize the breadth of their training across diagnostic populations, and document their assessment battery proficiency in detail. Postdoctoral fellowship positions and junior staff roles at academic children's hospitals are the most accessible entry points, often with built-in supervision and mentorship.
What does the pediatric neuropsychologist interview process look like?
The interview process typically includes an initial phone or video screen with HR or a hiring manager, followed by a full-day on-site visit that includes meetings with the neuropsychology team, a case presentation or clinical vignette exercise, and conversations with department leadership. Some academic settings also ask candidates to present research or lead a brief didactic, particularly for roles with a training or supervision component.
