Position description
The Department of Neurosciences at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) (https://neurosciences.ucsd.edu/) is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff and student body and is recruiting for faculty positions at the Assistant, Associate or Professor levels.
US News and World Report ranks UC San Diego #21 in the nation for Neurological and Neurosurgical care and the Department of Neurosciences consistently ranks #1 in NIH funding among neurosciences departments and in the top 5 of neurology departments. The UC San Diego Health includes the Jacobs Medical Center, Hillcrest, and East Campus hospitals. Each is staffed for service of general (non-stroke) and stroke neurological care and consultation.
The UC San Diego Department of Neurosciences is seeking neurologists with specialty expertise and interest in the optimal delivery of neurological care and consultation in the inpatient setting (Neurohospitalist).
The current positions are for delivery of general inpatient neurological care and consultation at the Jacobs Medical Center as well as the intermittent staffing of a discharge clinic for aiding clinical transitions from the inpatient and emergency department settings to ambulatory care.
The incumbents will play a key role in teaching of residents and medical students within the inpatient setting and will partner with the Department and institution to enhance clinical quality metrics, such as emergency department consultation response times, efficient and effective use of hospital resources for neurological diagnosis and care, constructive and service-oriented neurological consultation for partner services, and skillful delivery of inpatient and transitional care for patients on the general (non-stroke) neurology service.
The appropriate series and appointment will be based on the candidate’s background and experience.
