Massachusetts General Hospital

Overview

The Massachusetts General Hospital Epilepsy Service and the Epilepsy Research Laboratory offer a post-doctoral fellowship in Epilepsy Neurobiology. The Fellowship offers advanced training in clinical epileptology and neurobiology.

Extensive laboratory and clinical facilities are available at Mass General, and a wide range of potential collaborators is easily accessible within the Harvard and Boston scientific communities.

The Epilepsy and Neurobiology fellowship is a track that might follow our one-year accredited fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology. Alternatively, fellows may choose the  Pediatric Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology track.

Applicants should hold and MD or MD, PhD degree and be eligible for limited licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

This position is ideal for an individual who has completed their neurology or neurosurgery residency training and is seeking to develop research skills while advancing their knowledge of a neurological sub-speciality. The ideal candidate would seek to develop independent funding (K-08 or similar award) within 12-24 months of taking the position.

Twenty-five percent of the fellows’ time will be devoted to advanced clinical training in epileptology and clinical neurophysiology in the setting of the Mass General Epilepsy Service. This service evaluates and treats complex and refractory epilepsy patients using the latest clinical and technological approaches.

The fellow is expected to devote seventy-five percent of his/her time to basic research in epilepsy and disorders of neuronal excitability. Laboratory experience will occur in the Epilepsy Research Laboratory within the Neurology Research Group at Mass General.
