Assistant Professor of Neurology

Yale University

Department: Neurology
Division: Vascular Neurology
Institution: Yale School of Medicine
Clinical Practice: Yale Medicine

Description

The Yale Neurology Department seeks to hire 5 faculty members to join the division of Vascular Neurology, a dynamic division of faculty members with broad clinical and research interests in cerebrovascular disease. The Yale Stroke and Vascular Division support and leads the Yale New Haven Comprehensive Stroke Center, which oversees high-volume, high-complexity, inpatient, telestroke, and outpatient services.

Vascular neurologists hold teaching appointments at the Yale School of Medicine and are clinical faculty within Yale Medicine. Primary inpatient clinical responsibilities include attending the inpatient stroke service and providing stroke consultative services at Yale New Haven Hospital. The stroke program was certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center in 2016. Its mission is to provide safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care for patients with cerebrovascular disease at Yale-New Haven Hospital. The Stroke Center serves as a primary referral center for acute stroke management and has multidisciplinary outpatient stroke clinics throughout the region for secondary stroke prevention and stroke recovery. We are a Regional Coordinating Center for both NIH StrokeNet and the StrokeNet Thrombectomy Endovascular Platform, with participation in clinical trials supported by the NINDS and industry and led by our own faculty.

We seek motivated academic clinicians who will have responsibilities in 1) providing acute stroke evaluations for patients at Yale New Haven and throughout the region via telestroke, 2) providing outpatient specialized stroke clinics through Yale Medicine, 3) participating in clinical didactics and clinical trials, and 4) conducting teaching of residents, fellows, and medical students. We anticipate that faculty applicants will be dedicated to educating the next generation of subspecialty experts. We provide a highly collaborative, supportive, and mentored environment that encourages specialists to pursue career growth in their specific areas of interest. This position offers applicants an exciting opportunity for individual programmatic development and goal discovery across varied academic interests within our division.

The community of New Haven and the surrounding areas offers a beautiful landscape to settle in, with something for everyone, including music, theater, a foodie's delight, beaches, boating, shoreline towns, and tons of outdoor adventure. Yale University further offers the benefits of the academic environment, collegiate events, literary and art collections, and performance art. Proximity to New York City, Boston, and the rest of New England offers additional opportunities, and we are happy to work with faculty to provide practice opportunities in locations that meet their needs.
