The Movement Disorders clinic includes neuromodulation (DBS and MRgFUS) and botulinum toxin injection clinics, a Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) Center of Excellence and a CurePSP Center of Care. Opportunities exist to work in a variety of additional subspecialty clinic areas including ataxia, neurogenetics, autoimmune movement disorders, autonomic dysfunction clinic and laboratory, and cognitive disorders.

Candidates interested in a wide spectrum of movement disorders and procedures, as well as candidates committed to developing a neuromodulation clinical and research program are encouraged to apply.

The individuals recruited would develop a clinical program, interact with trainees, and have the opportunity to participate in the neurology inpatient/consult service, telemedicine and outreach clinics. Opportunities also exist to pursue a joint appointment with our Veterans Affairs Hospital.

Development of an active translational research program is encouraged in candidates interested in a career as clinician-scientists. Research within the division is highly-collaborative and well-funded, and ranges from basic science to clinical trials.

Nestled along the Wasatch Mountain Range, our Salt Lake City location offers incomparable work-life balance through every season.
