UMass Chan Medical School and UMass Memorial Health, Worcester, MA

The Department of Neurological Surgery at UMass Chan Medical School and UMass Memorial Health is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible neurosurgeon with fellowship training in complex spine surgery to join a dynamic academic practice.

The UMass Department of Neurological Surgery is experiencing significant growth, and we are looking for a neurosurgeon with expertise in both cranial complex spine procedures to help us expand a dynamic neurosurgery practice that includes the UMass Center for Spine Health and spans the two largest hospitals in Worcester. This position will require significant expertise in areas such as degenerative spine disease, spinal fusion, spine trauma, minimally invasive spine and/or peripheral nerve, as well as cranial procedures such as brain tumors and head trauma. This position will offer the opportunity to contribute to excellence in patient care and resident/student education, with robust support for clinical, basic, or translational research interests. Academic rank will be commensurate with experience.
