Academic Spine Neurosurgeon

Department of Neurological Surgery

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.

Why UMass:

• UMass Memorial Health is the dominant health care provider in central Massachusetts, offering the only Level I trauma center, comprehensive stroke center, comprehensive epilepsy center and children’s medical center within a 40-mile radius. UMass Chan Medical School is nationally recognized as a top tier medical school in both research and primary care. It is the state’s only public medical school and ranks first among all public medical schools in New England.
• The UMass Department of Neurological Surgery strives to create a supportive, inclusive atmosphere where each individual can pursue their own interests while serving as a member of a highly functioning team and supporting the missions of UMass Memorial Health and UMass Chan Medical School.
• The Department has a proven track-record of supporting faculty to advance their careers in education, research and clinical practice.
• Worcester is located 40 miles west of Boston. It is the second largest and fastest growing city in New England. Our location provides a high quality of life that includes a choice of urban, suburban or rural living along the Worcester/Boston corridor, the best public and private schools, colleges and universities in the nation, and prime coastal and mountainous recreational attractions.
• Many faculty live between Worcester and Boston, which provides a wide range of professional opportunities for “two-career” families as well as a traffic-free (reverse) commute to Worcester.
• Salaries, time-off and schedule flexibility are extremely competitive with similar opportunities in Massachusetts.
