Expertise is required in the specific area of evaluation and management of Parkinson's disease, related disorders, and other movement disorders.

Clinical care will be primarily at Pennsylvania Hospital, but some coverage of satellite clinics in suburban locations may be available.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include either an independent research program (e.g., K-series award leading to further independent funding) or an active collaborative role in integrated research programs. Participation as a site investigator in clinical trials is also an option. Publication in peer-reviewed journals is expected.
