Northeastern Academic Program Physician-Scientist Research-Focused, Neurodegenerative

The Neurosciences Institute at a well-established academic medical center in New York is excited to further develop their Neurology Department with the addition of a research-focused, physician-scientist who specializes in neurodegenerative disorders. Qualified candidates with applicable interest in neuro-imaging are of particular interest.

The university's Neuroscience Institute is comprised of multi-disciplinary teams of clinical and research physicians and professionals, and the neurology department partners closely with neurobiology and psychiatry to offer patients comprehensive access to life-changing medicine.

The new hires will join a robust team of adult and pediatric neurologists, NPs, PAs, as well as neurosurgeons at the main campus hospital; a 624-bed, Level I Trauma Center in beautiful Suffolk County, New York.

Candidates can have experience conducting basic, translational, or clinical research and should have a demonstrated track record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals and with success in securing extramural funding. Applicants with clinical training in adult or child neurology will be appointed in the relevant clinical division and will provide clinical coverage in inpatient and outpatient services. They will also contribute to the educational mission by mentoring research trainees and teaching and supervising medical students, residents, and fellows.

The university is located in beautiful Suffolk County, which is the easternmost county in New York State, and is divided into 10 towns;
Babylon, Brookhaven, East Hampton, Huntington, Islip, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Smithtown, Southampton, and Southold. With a population of 1,522,998, Suffolk County is one of the best places to live in the state.

The area boasts a lovely sampling of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and parks. There are many great options for both public and private schooling, and it’s a wonderful place for families to put down roots.
