Every team member plays an essential role every day.

UMass Memorial Health, in partnership with UMass Chan Medical School, seeks an Academic Epileptologist for a clinician or clinician-scientist track. The candidate will join an active epilepsy team providing inpatient and outpatient services and collaborate with neurosurgical experts in epilepsy treatments.

Primary clinical responsibilities include:

• Inpatient video-EEG monitoring
• Attending on the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit

• Managing epilepsy patients in the clinic (note: sessions may be canceled during inpatient service weeks, EEG services, vacations, or conferences)

Additional opportunities include:

• Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team including epileptologists, APPs, social workers, neurosurgeons, neuropsychiatrists, psychologists, and neuroradiologists
• Teaching neurology residents and medical students at UMass Medical School
• Participating in faculty development and research mentorship programs
