The Division of Rehabilitation Psychology in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at The Ohio State University is seeking to hire two Rehabilitation Psychologists with keen interest and a strong background in working with patients with acquired disabilities from neurologic conditions, or musculoskeletal injuries. Academic rank and track commensurate with academic record and experience.

The position will primarily involve providing individual psychotherapy to optimize adjustment and coping. Other clinical opportunities include providing outpatient psychotherapy to adults with diagnosis of cancer, FND, amputation and burn injury. Our rehabilitation psychology division consists of a dynamic group of 14 faculty members. Most of our faculty work on various inpatient medical units (eg. Stroke, TBI, SCI, Trauma, Burn, Oncology, and General Rehab) and outpatient clinics (Ambulatory Services, Psychosocial Oncology, Burn Clinic, and Vestibular Disorders).

This position would primarily involve providing outpatient psychotherapy with the potential to work in an inpatient setting as our division’s presence expands at the medical center. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center offers highly competitive pay, malpractice insurance and a great benefits package (which includes a yearly CME fund).

The OSU Division of Rehabilitation Psychology is a member of the Council of Rehabilitation Psychology Postdoctoral Training Programs (CRPPTP). All faculty have opportunities for training and supervising post-doctoral fellows and residents. There are other opportunities throughout the medical center for teaching and taking on leadership roles. Ohio State’s Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) has been an industry leader for more than 50 years.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as one of the top programs in America. Newsweek has ranked Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital #1 in Ohio for best Physical Rehabilitation Center for three years in a row. We are one of only five centers in the nation chosen to participate in the Neuro Recovery Network, which uses activity‑based therapies for spinal cord injury rehabilitation.

Our TBI Model System has been in place since 1997 and is one of the nation’s 16 sites funded under TBI Model Systems.

Faculty responsibilities are consistent with our tripartite mission – patient care, education, and clinical research. The psychologist will provide clinical evaluation and assessment, as well as individual and/or group psychotherapy. This requires thorough knowledge of the DSM‑5 and mental health diagnoses within the ICD‑10. The individual selected for this position will have ample opportunities to contribute to training, research, and other scholarly pursuits.

Other duties include but are not limited to representing the program or Department by participating in committees, conferences, and representing OSU at professional meetings and community speaking engagements. The psychologist is expected to practice within the established Medical Center and standards of practice (policies, procedures,…
