Neuropsychologist - 80%

With more than 13,000 employees representing 160 professions, the Geneva University Hospitals are a reference institution at both national and international levels. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to consult our 2025 retrospective by clicking here .

With over 1,300 employees, the Department of Psychiatry fulfils a triple mission focusing on the treatment of mental disorders, education, and research.

Thus, the department's mission is to effectively detect and treat increasingly frequent and diverse pathologies while respecting patients and their relatives.

Organised into 6 services, the department offers a very broad and diverse range of care including hospital care, multidisciplinary outpatient care in various forms and intensities, organised according to the principles of community psychiatry, as well as specialised programmes and units.

As part of your duties, you will conduct neuropsychological assessments of adults followed within the various adult psychiatry care structures, outpatient psychiatry centres, as well as within the clinical neuroscience campus biotech consultation.

Your activity centres on patients presenting with varied psychopathologies (schizophrenia, ADHD, etc.) that may affect cognition, motivation, and emotional regulation. The work notably includes the use of structured and standardised psychometric tests (e.g. BACS, MATRIX MCCB) relevant for standardised investigation in both clinical and scientific contexts. Cognitive rehabilitation work is also to be developed.

You will collaborate with various teams:

Multidisciplinary outpatient care teams of the adult psychiatry service (communication of neuropsychological assessment results and conclusions)
Liaison work with psychologists working in the different outpatient structures of the service
Collaboration with stakeholders (care teams, researchers, etc.) of the clinical neuroscience campus biotech consultation - psychiatry

You will also actively participate in the research activities of the adult psychiatry service.

More broadly, you will work in an environment that values collaboration, clinical expertise, and knowledge sharing, serving demanding and humane care.

Holder of a Master’s degree in clinical psychology (or an equivalent qualification), you possess a federal specialist title in neuropsychology.

You have several years of experience in clinical neuropsychology and benefit from advanced training in methodology and research.

Previous experience with an adult population suffering from mental disorders and in research would be an asset.

You have the ability to work within a multidisciplinary team while demonstrating autonomy, responsibility, and the capacity to work on and contribute to the development of clinical and research projects.
