"Neurologist - Behavioral/Cognitive, Clinical Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, Neurology, Behavioral/Cognitive"

The Department of Neurology in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University seeks faculty candidates with cognitive neurology training and expertise to join a multidisciplinary team interested in the care of patients with cognitive disorders. Research interests encouraged, but not a requirement. Successful candidates will be appointed at either assistant or associate professor level. Our faculty currently lead several nationally recognized, highly regarded outpatient subspecialty centers in Neuromuscular Medicine, Neuroimmunology, Epilepsy, and Movement Disorders. Ancillary services include MRI/PET capabilities, EEG, EMG/ NCV, and infusion therapy.

The Cognitive Neurology Group, consisting of neurologists and advanced practice providers, will serve as the hub for new patient referrals and long-term management of cognitive neurology patients. In collaboration with faculty from Geriatric Psychiatry, our cognitive neurologists will round out the multidisciplinary team that comprises the Stony Brook Center of Excellence for Alzheimer's Disease (CEAD).  Initially funded in 2016, the CEAD is a state-funded initiative that provides comprehensive medical services for diagnosing and treating individuals living with AD and other dementias.  Paired with the existing research infrastructure available through the Neurosciences Institute, including a world-class positron emission tomography core (PET), Stony Brook offers unparalleled opportunities to conduct cutting-edge research and recruit patients for various investigator initiated and industry-sponsored research trials.

Work in a beautiful, newly built multi-subspecialty practice location and enjoy a collegial and supportive environment with access to specialists across the continuum of neurological care.
