A CNS Vital Signs Testing Administrator is responsible for setting up, supervising, and managing computer-based neurocognitive and behavioral assessments using the CNS Vital Signs platform.

• Equipment & Facility Maintenance:

• Maintain computer hardware, peripherals, and software related to computerized neurocognitive testing stations.
