The Movement Disorders section of the Department of Neurology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center has an opening for an academic movement disorders neurologist who has completed (or will be completing this summer) a 2-year movement disorders fellowship.

We practice in a thriving North Texas community that has seen explosive growth in the past few years resulting in an increased demand for clinical care. In addition, we have recently fully funded the $1 billion O’Donnell Brain Institute under the direction of Dr. William Dauer, who is assisting with the recruitment to our institution a diverse group of basic science, translational, and clinical researchers in the field of neuroscience. The Movement Disorders Section has seen rapid expansion over the past two years, with addition of six new faculty, including three new clinician scientists (Dr. Elan Louis, Dr. Bill Dauer, and Dr. Vikram Shakkottai) who have expertise in essential tremor, dystonia, ataxia and other movement disorders, and three new research faculty (Dr. Marek Napierala, Dr. Jill Napierala, and Dr. Hirofumi Fujita) with interests in ataxias. As such, the Section, now numbering eleven, is going through a period of rapid growth and expansion and we are looking to expand further, particularly in the clinician and clinician-scientist areas. We are also allied with an expanding program in neuromodulation, with colleagues in neurosurgery and neuroradiology. New faculty in our department will have many advantages in developing an academic career including protected time to develop and pursue a research program and support from a biostatistician. We also have a robust departmental Faculty Development Program consisting of a didactic series on how to be successful in academics and a dedicated mentorship program provided by senior faculty members for each junior member; each faculty member is assigned a mentor.
