UNIV - Faculty Fellow/Instructor - Psychiatry: Brain Stimulation Services
About The Position
This is an instructor position, tenure track-eligible, with a nonrenewable 12-month contract, beginning July 1st 2026 and ending on June 30th 2027. In the spring of 2027, if additional clinical or research opportunities are available for a subsequent academic year, then the fellow could pursue a contract for assistant professor/tenure track at MUSC with appropriate salary. Although there is an explosion of the brain stimulation methods in psychiatry, many of which are clinically approved and being used by psychiatrists, there are few formal training positions for psychiatrists. MUSC has been a leader in brain stimulation, and in 2011 we created and began a one-year ‘fellowship’ in this area. In the early days of interventional cardiology or interventional neuroradiology, there were no formal fellowships or pathways to training and credentialing. A few leading universities created positions to fill that void until national accrediting pathways were created. MUSC is filling that void now in the new area of ‘interventional psychiatry’, or formal in-depth training in the brain stimulation methods. Although this is a clinical fellowship, it is integrated with translational research studies involving brain stimulation methods. The fellow will graduate with good working knowledge of all of the FDA approved brain stimulation methods, and also with experience in doing clinical research trials of the next generation of tools.
Requirements
- The ideal candidate is a psychiatrist who has recently graduated (or will graduate in June) from a training program and wants to sub-specialize before beginning their clinical or academic career.
