The Department of Neurology of the Dell Medical School (DMS) at The University of Texas at Austin and their clinical partner Ascension Healthcare are recruiting an innovative clinician-educator or physician-scientist to develop and lead the epilepsy program.

We seek individuals with excellent clinical skills, a passion for education, and the potential for scholarly contributions.

Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas (DSMCUT) has a six-bed NAEC level 4 epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU).

Currently the adult epilepsy program is supported by four epileptologists, two neurosurgeons, and three advanced practice providers.

A ROSA robot, a Neurolynx research system, MEG, and PET are available. Long-term EEG monitoring and routine EEG studies are offered at four additional network hospitals in Central Texas, all of which have ABRET accredited EEG laboratories.

The program works in parallel with the pediatric epilepsy program at Dell Children’s Medical Center (DCMC), which has a separate NAEC level 4 epilepsy monitoring unit staffed by seven pediatric epileptologists and two neurosurgeons.

Austin is a vibrant, dynamic university city, known for its lively music scene, contemporary social scene, superb cuisine, and international festivals such as South by Southwest.

The city typically ranks among the country’s best places to live. Nearby lakes and rivers as well as the beautiful adjacent Texas Hill Country provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities.
