Neurologist Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a neurologist in New York?
To practice as a neurologist in New York, you must hold a New York State medical license issued by the New York State Education Department, which requires graduation from an accredited medical school, completion of postgraduate training, and passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination steps. After completing a neurology residency, most New York employers expect board certification or active board candidacy through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Fellowship training in a subspecialty strengthens candidacy at the state's competitive academic centers.
How much do neurologists make in New York?
Neurologists in New York earn a median of about $155,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $101,060 for the lowest 10% to over $377,570 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire neurologists in New York?
Employers hiring neurologists in New York right now include Optum, United Health Services, and PHYSICIAN AFFILIATE GROUP OF NEW YORK, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's density of academic medical centers and large integrated health systems means openings appear across both urban flagship campuses and suburban outpatient satellite locations throughout the state.
Which New York cities have the most neurologist jobs?
Brooklyn, Johnson City, and Bronx account for the largest share of neurologist openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its concentration of world-class academic medical centers and specialty practices, while Buffalo and Albany generate consistent demand through regional health systems and university hospital affiliates that serve large catchment areas with fewer competing specialists.
Are there remote neurologist jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Neurology is a hands-on clinical specialty that typically requires in-person patient examination, so fully remote positions are limited. About 13% of neurologist openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting a small but real segment of the market. The roles most likely to carry a remote or hybrid component are teleneurology consultations, second-opinion services, and utilization review positions.
How can I get hired as a neurologist in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a neurology residency at a New York-affiliated program, since large systems such as NewYork-Presbyterian, Northwell Health, and NYU Langone regularly convert their own residents into junior attending or locum tenens positions. New graduates without attending experience can also target general neurology hospitalist roles, which require less subspecialty depth, or apply to fellowship programs that carry a clinical service component. Securing New York State licensure and ABPN board eligibility before the job search significantly shortens the hiring timeline.
Where can I find and apply to neurologist jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to neurologist jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current New York openings updated in real time. Search the listings, find roles that match your specialty and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
