Movement Disorders Fellowship - Cleveland Clinic Florida
Applicants must have satisfactorily completed a Neurology Residency Training Program accredited by the Accreditation Council For Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or by the Royal College of Physicians of Canada. The applicant must be eligible to have a valid Florida License at the time of appointment.
Description of the program
A mentoring one-on-one system exists where a fellow will assess and discuss patients with members of the Movement Disorders Program. Supervised assessment with gradual reduction of supervision during the year is expected. The fellow discusses phenomenology with the staff during weekly videotape session (Monday afternoon), reviews the literature during the weekly journal club (Friday morning) and once a month prepares a didactic lecture to the neurology residents. In addition, the fellow participates in a variety of neuropharmacology and epidemiological studies. Intensive training on the use of Botulinum toxin therapy is provided. The fellow also participates in the evaluation and treatment of patients with Deep Brain Stimulators.
Salary
Salary is at the PGY5 level plus fringe benefits
Interested applicants please fax, mail, or e-mail: Program Application Form, Cover Letter, CV or Resume, Personal Statement, Letters of Reference, and copies of USMLE scores.

Neuroepidemiology Fellow
The Parkinson’s Institute is an internationally recognized non-profit research organization aimed at finding the cause and cure of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders. The Clinical Research Department is currently seeking candidates for a Fellowship position.
The candidate will participate in the design, conduct and analysis of many neuroepidemiologic projects and clinical trials. These projects will include studies of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and other movement disorders. Day-to-day work will vary with the needs of individual projects, but will include in-clinic and field work assessments of research subjects, sometimes involving travel throughout the United States. Other work will include review and rating of research data, including videotaped neurologic exams and medical records. The candidate will be expected to participate in the analysis of study results and the preparation of manuscripts.
A California medical license is required. The ideal candidate will have fellowship training in movement disorders. This position requires clear English communication (verbal and written).
Position will include competitive salary and benefits.

Movement Disorder Fellowship at Albany Medical Center
The Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Center of Albany Medical Center is offering a one year clinical fellowship in movement disorders. Training will involve participation in an active movement disorders clinic with an in depth exposure to the diagnosis and management of the full range of movement disorders including parkinsonian disorders, tremor, dystonia and drug-induced syndromes. Trainees will also actively participate in a well-established botulinum toxin clinic and a rapidly expanding program in the surgical treatment of movement disorders.
The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in several ongoing clinical research projects including Parkinson Study Group, Huntington Study Group, industry and government sponsored projects. Applicants must be board-eligible neurologists.
Interested applicants should contact Dr. Eric S Molho, Riley Family Chair in Parkinson’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Center of Albany Medical Center, 47 New Scotland Avenue, Albany, NY 12208.

Neurologist/Fellowship Position at Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Diseases
One fully funded neurologist/fellowship position is available in March 2010 in the Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Diseases, Department of Neurodegenerative Diseases, Clinical Neuro-degeneration Group (E-mail Prof. Dr. Daniela Berg) for the EU funded project: "MarkMD. Novel genetic and phenotypic markers of Parkinson's disease and Essential Tremor".
OBJECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PROJECT MarkMD
MarkMD is a cooperative project of deCODE genetics (Iceland) and University of Tuebingen (Germany) and aims to establish new tools for the detection of disease associated genetic and clinical markers in patients as well as healthy at-risk groups of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Essential Tremor (ET).
QUALIFICATIONS and CONTENT of work:
Applicants should preferably have experience:
- in the clinical investigation of patients with movement disorders including the application of different movement scales,
- in the exertion of neuroimaging techniques (MRI and possibly others like PET, SPECT or TCS)
- in the evaluation and analysis of images
The successful applicant will work in a well established team and will thereby:
- investigate patients with different form of movement disorders and subjects suspected to be at risk
- perform premotor assessment batteries for Parkinson's disease
- apply different neuroimaging techniques (including TCS and MRI and possibly functional neuroimaging)
- be involved in data analysis
Eligibility:
Only applicants qualify who have spent less then 12 months of the previous 3 years in Germany.
Clinical Research Fellows in Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders
The Oxford Parkinson's Disease Centre (OPDC) is a new grouping of scientists and clinicians studying the genetics and neuropathology of PD, the generation of cell and animal models, and the wiring of neuronal circuitry, with clinical experts in the diagnosis and treatment of PD.
Two Clinical Research Fellows are required to help recruit and maintain a clinical cohort of 2000 PD patients across the Thames Valley, 300 age-matched controls and 300 subjects at-risk for PD under the clinical supervision of Dr Michele Hu. Each Fellow will assist in the collection of biosamples, assess patients with motor and non-motor rating scales, and be expected to register for a DPhil degree integrating the molecular pathogenesis of PD identified by proteomic analysis, in-vivo and post-mortem MRI at the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain, and neuropathology.
These posts are funded by the Parkinson’s Disease Society for three years and are based at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. The post is suitable for somebody wishing to pursue a career in neurology. Successful candidates will hold a medical degree and GMC registration, MRCP/ equivalent qualification and clinical neurology experience is desirable.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr. Michele Hu or Dr. Kevin Talbot (e-mail: michele.hu@clneuro.ox.ac.uk and kevin.talbot@clneuro.ox.ac.uk). For further information please see the job description downloadable from www.clneuro.ox.ac.uk/vacancies; alternatively tel UK 01865 231909 or e-mail personnel@clneuro.ox.ac.uk, quoting job reference HM/09/023.
