Clinical Magnetoencephalography; MEG Fellowship

Calling all future Epileptologists and Neurophysiologists! Available Positions in Clinical Magnetoencephalography for 2026 and beyond

Are you a neurologist or child neurologist with EEG knowledge seeking to enhance your training to prepare for a career as an epileptologist or neurophysiologist?

Clinical MEG is a subspecialty area of neurology defined by special competence in the interpretation of MEG and simultaneously performed EEG as part of the presurgical work-up for epilepsy.

This program remains the only
ACGME recognized training program
for MEG (J-1 visas sponsored) which now includes optional scholarly concentrations in neuromodulation and intracranial EEG that can be added to the standard MEG curriculum for interested applicants.

This is a 12-month fellowship open to neurologists and child neurologists (trained in the US, Canada, or internationally with ECFMG certification) with prior EEG knowledge. A prior fellowship in epilepsy or clinical neurophysiology is desirable but not required. Off-cycle applicants will also be welcome.

The fellowship’s goal is to train clinical Magnetoencephalographers to support the noninvasive evaluation and surgical management of drug-resistant epilepsy in Epilepsy Centers, as well as operable lesions within Neurosurgical Programs.

• Broad exposure to pediatric and adult studies
• Localization of interictal discharges and seizure onsets, functional mapping (sensory/motor/visual/auditory/language)
• Integration of functional MEG data with MRI/DTI, PET/SPECT, and intracranial recordings utilizing 3-dimensional imaging techniques
• Active participation in epilepsy case management and SEEG/subdural implantation conferences
• Lead weekly MEG review conferences, MEG teaching and journal club sessions
• Opportunities for mentored scholarly or research projects
• Privilege to attend the annual ACMEGS Course and Meeting (funded)

• Complete a curated reading list of landmark neuromodulation trials and key publications
• Complete a neuromodulation research project
• Opportunity to participate in one of the annual neuromodulation workshops

• Opportunities to interpret intracranial EEG studies and participate in cortical mapping
• Plan SEEG trajectories for cases discussed in patient management conference
• Complete a curated reading list of key publications on the topic of intracranial EEG
• Complete an intracranial EEG research project
• Opportunity to attend one of the annual SEEG courses

• Standard working days:
  Monday to Friday
• Weekend as required, based on clinical volume
