Department of Neurology, Division of Vascular Neurology seeking Neurologist, Assistant Professor to Professor

Details

The University of Utah, Department of Neurology, Division of Vascular Neurology, seeks to hire two vascular neurologists in both clinician-investigator and clinician-educator tracks. Junior, mid-career, and senior neurologists are encouraged to apply as are persons needing a J-1 visa waiver. Academic rank and track is dependent on applicant qualifications. The applicant must be BC/BE in Neurology and Vascular Neurology.

The Division of Vascular Neurology currently includes nine stroke neurologists with expertise in telehealth, systems of care, neuroimaging, neuro-rehab, neuro-education, and clinical trials. We are a dynamic group of neurologists who love patient care and serve in numerous Department and University leadership positions. We are excellent at mentoring junior faculty and also would welcome a mid-career neurologist looking to join a great Department in the beautiful Intermountain West. We are a Regional Coordinating Center for NIH StrokeNet, managing stroke trials not only at the University of Utah but also across 5 surrounding states. The University of Utah has deep research resources, including hosting a CTSA (the Utah Clinical and Translational Science Institute) and formal research faculty mentoring programs.

As a Division, we support and lead the University of Utah Comprehensive Stroke Center which includes an experienced multi-disciplinary clinical team consisting of nurses, vascular neurosurgeons, vascular neuroradiology, emergency medicine, and neurocritical care. Due to tight focus on quality, we routinely achieve national AHA/ASA awards for our inpatient stroke care. We have a robust telestroke program and serve nearly 30 hospitals in 6 states, with most sites utilizing AI capabilities for LVO detection and some with on-site neuroIR partnerships. All division members support our outpatient practice, which is known for specialty expertise in PFO, CADASIL, CCM, intracranial atherosclerosis, and cryptogenic stroke, and receives referrals from multiple hospital systems in multiple states. Our faculty also conduct clinics to multiple underserved populations, including the homeless, the incarcerated, and rural patients via in-person and telemedicine-based outreach clinics in rural / frontier locations.

To support our growth as a Division, we are seeking a clinician-scientist with strong training in research methodology and independent research goals. Young investigators needing mentorship are encouraged to apply. We are also seeking stroke clinicians with TCD training / expertise and those with interest in participating in our robust Teleneurology program. Primary clinical responsibilities will include acute stroke and telestroke call, inpatient vascular ward service, outpatient stroke clinic, and negotiable Teleneurology duties. The University of Utah is building out additional hospitals in the Salt Lake Valley and we anticipate additional opportunities to provide inpatient clinical services in those hospitals. Shared effort as a Neurovascular specialist at the nearby and academically partnered Salt Lake City Veteran’s Administration Health Center is a possibility. Mentorship of ACGME stroke fellows and participation in stroke center quality improvement is expected.
