Description
The Department of Neurology and the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Yale School of Medicine seeks to hire a full-time Academic Chief for the Division of Epilepsy & EEG, at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor.
Internationally known for clinical excellence and cutting-edge research, we provide promising treatment options for adult and pediatric patients. Our program was one of the nation's first and has evolved into one of the most active and advanced in the world. Yale is internationally recognized as a leader in innovative treatment for medically intractable and new onset epilepsy.
We treat patients in outpatient settings, at a 12-bed adult epilepsy monitoring unit, a 3-bed pediatric epilepsy monitoring unit, and a technologically advanced operating suite including intraoperative MRI and robotic guidance systems. We are also equipped with state-of-the-art technology for continuous brain and video monitoring of seizures at all ages and in all settings, inpatient and outpatient. We evaluate patients in phases to precisely determine concordance of electrophysiology, cognitive testing, history, as well as physical and neurological examination with advanced imaging, using MRI, functional MRI, ictal SPECT, MEG and PET techniques.
