Neurologist – Dell Medical School

Neurologist – Dell Medical School

The Department of Neurology of The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School (DMS) and their clinical partner Ascension Healthcare are recruiting two academic neurologists, one with subspeciality training in vascular neurology and another with non-vascular training and expertise in outpatient subspecialties such as neuromuscular disease, movement disorders, or other areas. We seek individuals with excellent clinical skills, a passion for education, and the potential for scholarly contributions. Faculty members are appointed on either a clinician-educator or physician scientist track depending on their background and interests.

DMS neurology faculty, residents and fellows provide services at two adult teaching hospitals. Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas (DSMC) has 211 beds (this year to expand to 361 beds), a brand new 15-bed neuro-ICU, an 8-bed epilepsy monitoring unit, and the region’s only level 1 trauma center for adults. Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin (ASMCA) has 524 beds and comprehensive programs specializing in women’s health, cardiovascular disease, and spine dysfunction. Both hospitals support neurology resident and fellow training, with a combined 10 neurology residents per year, as well as fellowships in MS and neuroimmunology, neurophysiology, vascular neurology, endovascular neurology, and several others that in the process of approval.

The medical school has undergone enormous change since its inception. The new dean, Dr. Claudia Lucchinetti, is a neuroimmunologist who was brought on from Mayo Clinic to help lead the school into its next phase of expansion to meet the growing healthcare needs of Central Texas. The University recently announced the development of a new subspecialty hospital and cancer hospital (partnered with MD Anderson) that will be built adjacent to the medical school. The next several years are projected to see continuous growth within the department of Neurology with an increasing clinical footprint and research collaborations.

Applicants should be board certified in neurology by the ABPN or, in the case of recent trainees, board eligible in neurology.
