About the Adult Epilepsy Program Director Position

The Department of Neurology of the Dell Medical School (DMS) at The University of Texas at Austin and their clinical partner Ascension Healthcare are recruiting an innovative clinician-educator or physician-scientist to develop and lead the epilepsy program. We seek individuals with excellent clinical skills, a passion for education, and the potential for scholarly contributions.

The program works in parallel with the pediatric epilepsy program at Dell Children's Medical Center (DCMC), which has a separate NAEC level 4 epilepsy monitoring unit staffed by seven pediatric epileptologists and two neurosurgeons.
