Join Duke Neurosurgery! The Department of Neurosurgery is seeking a talented Functional Neurosurgeon to join our faculty in Raleigh, NC. As national leaders in research, patient care, and education, Duke Neurosurgery is experiencing tremendous growth and is currently seeking a candidate with great clinical acumen to provide patients with high-quality, compassionate care. This position is based predominantly at Duke Raleigh Hospital and is a 100% clinical appointment at the outset, with a scheduled review at 24 months at which protected research or administrative effort may be established. MR-guided and low-intensity focused ultrasound procedures are performed at Duke University Hospital in Durham, and the successful candidate will practice across both sites on a schedule agreed at the time of offer. This is an opportunity to build a functional neurosurgery service in one of the fastest-growing markets in the Southeast, with the full resources of Duke Health behind it. The successful candidate will also contribute to the growth of the Duke Center for Neurorestoration, where a Raleigh site materially expands patient access to neuromodulation for painful diabetic neuropathy, spinal cord injury, stroke recovery, and neuroimmune indications. Key Responsibilities Perform complex functional neurosurgical procedures, including deep brain stimulation for movement disorders (awake, asleep, and sensing-enabled or adaptive systems), neuromodulation for chronic pain, vagus nerve stimulation (stroke/rheumatoid). Perform MR-guided focused ultrasound at Duke University Hospital, and participate in investigational low-intensity focused ultrasound work conducted under IDE or IRB-approved protocol. Deliver pain and restorative neuromodulation, including spinal cord stimulation, dorsal root ganglion and peripheral nerve stimulation, and intrathecal drug delivery. Provide expert evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning for patients with complex functional neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Build and lead the Raleigh functional neurosurgery service, including referral pathways, multidisciplinary clinic structure, and device programming capacity. Support enrollment into the division's neuromodulation clinical trials from the Raleigh site, with opportunity for site investigator roles. Contribute to the growth of the Duke Center for Neurorestoration. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across Duke Health, including neurology, psychiatry, pain management, physical medicine and rehabilitation, endocrinology, and other specialties, to develop comprehensive, patient-centered treatment plans. Mentor and educate residents, fellows, and medical students, fostering a culture of clinical excellence and continuous learning. Contribute to departmental leadership, program development, and strategic initiatives in alignment with institutional goals. Required Qualifications MD or MD-PhD with completion of an ACGME-accredited neurosurgery residency. Fellowship training in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, or a closely related subspecialty. Board-certified or board-eligible in Neurosurgery, and eligible for North Carolina medical licensure. Demonstrated independent operative experience in deep brain stimulation. Willingness to practice across Duke Raleigh Hospital and Duke University Hospital on a schedule agreed at the time of offer. Preferred Qualifications Independent experience with MR-guided focused ultrasound. Candidates without independent experience will be considered, with proctored training funded and scheduled as a term of the offer. Substantive experience in pain neuromodulation, including spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal drug delivery. Demonstrated success building a referral base or establishing a new clinical service. Prior experience practicing across more than one hospital. Clinical trial enrollment experience. Proven experience in teaching and mentoring within academic or hospital-based programs. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, team-oriented environment. Effort and Practice Development At appointment: 100% clinical effort, with a defined case allocation during the first year while the referral base is established. At 24 months: A scheduled review with the Chair and division chief to determine whether protected research or administrative effort can be supported. Support provided: Advanced practice provider and device programming support allocated to the Raleigh practice, named operating room block time at both sites, and referral development support for the new service.
