Job Description
- Movement Disorders Neurologist
- Round Rock, Texas (Greater Austin)
- Established Referral Base | DBS + Toxins | Clinical Research Infrastructure
The Austin market continues to see significant demand for subspecialty movement disorders care, with limited fellowship-trained capacity and growing need for Parkinson’s disease management, advanced therapeutics, and clinical research access.
We are seeking a Movement Disorders Neurologist — or a neurologist with a strong and sustained movement disorders focus — to join our established outpatient neurology and clinical research program in Round Rock, Texas, just outside of Austin.
This is a unique opportunity to build a high-acuity movement disorders practice alongside an established, nationally recognized movement disorders researcher with deep industry relationships, active clinical trials, and a substantial existing referral network.
You will step into immediate demand with an established waitlist, robust sponsor-supported research infrastructure, and the ability to practice advanced movement disorders medicine in a highly collaborative, physician-centered environment.
- Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Established and growing movement disorders referral base
- Immediate access to a substantial patient waitlist
- Work directly alongside a nationally recognized movement disorders researcher
- Active industry-sponsored clinical trial program already in place
- DBS programming with support from all major device representatives
- In-office botulinum toxin program already operational
- Outpatient-only practice
- Monday–Friday schedule
- Strong operational and research infrastructure with dedicated support staff
- Opportunity to meaningfully shape and expand a movement disorders center in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country
- Clinical Focus
- This role is intentionally structured around movement disorders care, including:
- Parkinson’s disease
- Atypical parkinsonian syndromes
- Essential tremor
- Dystonia
- Dyskinesias
- Advanced movement disorders management

Botulinum Toxin Procedures
There is flexibility to incorporate selected general neurology interests based on your experience and preferences, but the core identity of this role is movement disorders medicine.
Research Opportunities
This position is ideal for physicians who want to integrate meaningful clinical research into their practice without having to build infrastructure independently.
You Will Have Access To
- Established sponsor relationships
- Dedicated research coordinators and operational support
- Existing and upcoming movement disorders trials
- Built-in research patient flow from an active referral base and waitlist
- Depending on experience and interest, the role may include:
- Principal Investigator (PI) responsibilities
- Sub-Investigator (Sub-I) participation with mentorship and development support
- Research participation is encouraged, but the structure can be tailored to your background and long-term goals.
Practice Environment & Support
You will join a collaborative outpatient neurology group that prioritizes physician support, sustainable growth, and subspecialty development.
Infrastructure Includes
- Dedicated MA support
- Established referral pipelines
- Structured clinical ramp-up
- NP support as your panel matures
- In-office DBS programming support
- In-office toxin program
- Experienced research operations team
- Administrative support for scheduling, referrals, and research coordination
- This is a highly collegial environment designed for physicians who value collaboration over competition.
- Ideal Candidate
- MD or DO
- Board Certified or Board Eligible in Neurology
- Movement Disorders fellowship preferred, but not required
- Strong clinical interest and experience in movement disorders
- Interest in DBS and/or toxin management preferred
- Clinical research experience welcomed, but not required
