Assistant Professor of Neurology at CUMC | Columbia University - Military Veterans

The Department of Neurology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center seeks a full-time neurologist specialized in clinical neuroimmunology/multiple sclerosis (MS), with expertise and interest in caring for adults with MS and related conditions. The neurologist will be trained in adult neurology with subspecialty expertise in neuroimmunology. Under the supervision of the Multiple Sclerosis Center's medical director, the neurologist will be responsible for the diagnosis and management of neuroimmunological conditions affecting the central nervous system in adults and adolescents. In Neuroimmunology, working within a team that includes four adult neurologists that have completed specialty training in this domain, the new neurologist will have a primarily outpatient practice of adults with neuroimmunological disorders. In addition, the neurologist will lead the Neuroimmunology Consult Service, which will provide consult services in neuroimmunology across NYP-Columbia and the Children's Hospital of New York (CHONY), with support from the clinical neuroimmunology fellows. There is also an annual inpatient service time required by the department, in the adult inpatient setting (NYP-Columbia). The position includes working with medical students, neurology residents, the two clinical neuroimmunology fellows, and two nurse practitioners that extend the practice's efforts. While MS remains the diagnosis for most of the patients seen at the MS Center, a wide range of conditions are captured by the neuroimmunological umbrella, including neuromyelitis optica, MOG Antibody Disease, complications of immunotherapy, acute flaccid myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, paraneoplastic syndromes, limbic encephalitis, NMDA Antibody encephalitis, transverse myelitis of various etiologies, immunotoxicity-related conditions and other neuroimmunological syndromes. Outstanding training in clinical neurology and subspecialty expertise in multiple sclerosis are required. We are looking for an exceptional candidate with strong communication and organizational skills who will become a leader in her or his chosen area of focus, whether that is teaching, clinical care, or clinical/translational research. There are many opportunities for career development and promotion in our dynamic Multiple Sclerosis Center and its affiliated Center for Translational & Computational Neuroimmunology, working collaboratively with our clinical, translational, computational and basic faculty. Non-clinical effort will include conduct of clinical trials in the MS Center and clinical research, with specific projects selected to meet the strategic goals of the Neuroimmunology Division. Practice sites include Manhattan, Bronx, and Westchester County, NY. Minimum Degree Required: M.D. or D.O. Minimum Qualifications: Candidate must be board certified or eligible in Neurology and possess a NYS State license. Must be able to meet credentialing requirements of the Medical Staff Office.
