The Yale Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is expanding, and is now seeking academic adult and pediatric epileptologists to join its level IV tertiary care epilepsy program. The Yale CEC is a combined adult and pediatric center comprising all aspects of surgical and non-surgical clinical care of patients with epilepsy as well as basic, clinical and translational research related to epilepsy. There are currently 11 clinical epilepsy/EEG attendings in the center, 2 epilepsy neurosurgeons, adult and pediatric epilepsy monitoring units, a critical care EEG service serving all ICUs including neonatal and pediatric, and 3-5 epilepsy/EEG fellows each year. We are particularly interested in someone with special interest in ICU-EEG monitoring or women’s issues. Active investigations in epilepsy include those on intracranial EEG analysis at many levels, seizure-related brain metabolism, ICU-EEG monitoring, 7T MR spectroscopy, functional MRI, brain mapping, implanted brain stimulation devices, antiepileptic drugs, sudden death in epilepsy, animal models, neurogenetics, critical care EEG, PET/SPECT and consciousness/awareness during seizures. Epilepsy Center faculty include Dennis Spencer and Lawrence Hirsch (Co-directors of the center), Richard Mattson, Hal Blumenfeld, and Jullie Pan. The adult and pediatric neurology departments are in the midst of a major expansion of programs, including epilepsy. Opportunities available at any level of experience.
