Job description

Position Summary

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine is seeking a board certified/board eligible (BC/BE) Neurointensivist to join our growing group. The successful candidate will join our team of 7 neurointensivists providing neurocritical care services in our state-of-the-art Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (NSICU) at the University of North Carolina Medical Center in Chapel Hill. The appointment is for either a fixed-term or tenure‑track faculty appointment. This recruitment is open rank and dependent upon qualification/experience of the candidate. The Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (NSICU) at UNC Medical Center is currently a 22‑bed unit staffed full‑time by neurointensivists; acute care advanced practice providers providing 24/7 coverage; and trainees rotating from neurology, neurosurgery, pulmonary/critical care, and emergency medicine. The unit will expand to likely 33 beds in the near future. We have an ACGME‑accredited fellowship training program in Neurocritical Care. In addition to having primary clinical responsibility in the NSICU, the faculty recruit will also provide attending services for a subset of intermediate care neurology inpatients and ICU neurology consults. UNC Medical Center is a tertiary referral center for the state of North Carolina, a Joint Commission certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, and a Level I trauma center. The UNC School of Medicine is a US News and World Report 2023 top 30 medical school and, in collaboration with Duke University School of Medicine, is a NINDS (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Center with a robust Neurology Clinical Trials Unit. We offer a rich academic environment with extensive opportunities for collaborative research within the institution.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements

The qualified candidate will have an M.D. or D.O. degree and will be board certified/board eligible through the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) of Neurology. Additional training in a neurocritical care fellowship is required. The candidate must be ABMS/ABPN (American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology) certified/eligible in neurocritical care and be eligible to obtain a North Carolina medical license.

Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience

For this position, we are particularly interested in candidates who have developed research interests with extramural research funding, and/or candidates who envision a career in which their clinical responsibilities are divided between neurocritical care and other services. Examples of the latter include but are not limited to clinical neurophysiology, vascular neurology, and neurohospitalist services.
