Main Campus Academic Center in Midwest Looking for Complex Spine Neurosurgeon

The Department of Neurosurgery at a main campus medical center in the Midwest has an immediate opening for two full-time clinical academic spine neurosurgeons. Interest and training in complex spine and deformity are required. These new hires will join the university’s highly skilled and collaborative faculty. These opportunities consist of patient care, teaching and training, research, and ongoing programmatic development. Candidates with clinical or translational research interests are encouraged to apply, and faculty selected will be strongly supported.

This medical center is the state’s largest hospital. For several consecutive years, it has been awarded “Best in State” by U.S. News & World Report, is listed as one of the 100 Greatest Hospitals in America by Becker’s Hospital Review and is included in Forbes list of Best-in-State Employers. They are the most comprehensive healthcare system in the state and their neurosurgical team has long been recognized for rendering state-of-the-art, highest quality, compassionate care using cutting-edge technology.

The Department of Neurosurgery hosts the only neurosurgical residency training program, functional and stereotactic fellowship, and endovascular fellowship programs in the state. The Department of Neurosurgery is also home to NIH-funded research programs in adult and neonatal sleep dysregulation, spine trauma, and brain tumor imaging and prognosis.

The ideal candidate will be an MD/DO (or equivalent degree), who is board-certified or board-eligible through the American Board of Neurological Surgery and has completed fellowship training in spine surgery. Post-residency spine fellowships are required.

Position highlights:
• Call schedule of 1 in 6 or 1 in 7
• Call shared with two ortho-spine faculty who only do simple spine – very collegial relationship
• No pediatric call required
• Deformity and spinal oncology cases to be captured with built-in referrals in place
• Tenure track faculty position
• Base salary plus RVU bonus plus academic contribution bonus

As the state's only public academic health sciences center, the university is committed to the education of a 21st century health care work force, to finding cures and treatments for devastating diseases, to providing the best possible care for patients, and to serving our state and its communities through award-winning outreach. The program offers a highly competitive benefits package, and rank and salary commensurate with qualifications.
