These positions are primarily clinical; applicants should have clinical expertise in the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of patients with memory disorders.

The increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases throughout the world means that almost all of us have loved ones who are either patients or bear the burden of care for afflicted individuals. Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, and other degenerative diseases each present patients with the challenge of chronic illness and complications. Likewise, patients with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries face a prolonged course of rehabilitation and complications as well.

Yale’s Department of Neurology features several programs focused on combating neurodegeneration and facilitating neural repair, both on the clinical and research fronts. The Dorothy Adler Geriatric Assessment Center; the Movement Disorders group; the Spine/Neurorehabilitation clinic; and the Program for Cellular Neuroscience, Neurodegeneration and Repair offer opportunities for patients, clinicians, and researchers to cooperate in advancing care.

We seek motivated academics with clinical expertise in
1) the care of patients with behavior, memory, and cognitive disorders, (2) participating in the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center initiatives, (3) teaching medical students, residents, and fellows. We anticipate faculty applicants to be dedicated to the education of the next generation of subspecialty experts. We provide a highly collaborative, supportive, and mentored environment that promotes specialists to pursue career growth within their specific area of interest.

This position offers applicants an exciting opportunity for individual programmatic development and goal discovery across varied academic interests within our division.

Candidates must have an MD or equivalent and be BC/BE in Neurology or Psychiatry with fellowship training in Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology. Applicants must also be eligible for medical licensure in Connecticut. This clinical position is expected to primarily practice in Greenwich, CT although additional sites may be considered.
