The Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine invite applications for a faculty position in the Neuroradiology Division in the Department of Radiology. The successful candidate may be appointed on the clinical track.
This position will join our growing Division of Neuroradiology. Applicants must have four years post-doctoral training in radiology and should be board certified or eligible by the American Board of Radiology. Fellowship training in Neuroradiology or experience beyond residency in neuroradiology is required. In addition to clinical activities, teaching and call duties are shared across the division.
Preference will be given to those individuals who hold a Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Neuroradiology or those who are CAQ eligible. The ideal candidate would have experience in all aspects of neuroradiology, including myelography (catheter angiographic skills are not required), excellent clinical and interpersonal skills, and a strong interest/background in academic radiology and leadership positions. Leadership experience with a demonstrated facility for teaching is desired.
About the Department of Radiology:
The Radiology Department includes 50 attending physicians, 19 fellows, 17 Ph.D. research faculty, and 40 residents. The Department operates six clinical MDCT scanners, including two dual source CT scanners. A Photon-Counting CT is planned for March, 2022. There are six clinical MR scanners, including two 3T scanners. There are three PET/CT systems including two SiPM PET/CT systems and a cyclotron. A PET/MR facility has been constructed and the scanner is expected in Spring 2024.
The Department has a strong research record in imaging, in particular involving neuroscience and pulmonary applications in addition to PET/theranostics. The Department is also responsible for the Iowa Institute of Biomedical Imaging (IIBI). The IIBI was formed in 2007 as an acknowledgement of a long tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration at the University of Iowa. The IIBI reflects a strong institutional support for biomedical imaging and image analysis along with translational medical research. The IIBI brings together more than 40 faculty members from the colleges of medicine and engineering within the University Iowa. This facility includes research-dedicated imaging equipment including GE 7T MR950 and 3T Premier whole body MRI scanners, Siemens FORCE CT scanner, GE Discovery PET/CT scanner, Siemens CAT II micro CT scanner with a ZEISS Xradia 520 Versa Submicron 3D, GE 7T MR901 small animal MRI scanner, and Polarian 129Xe polarizer.
The lower level of the IIBI houses the Small Animal Imaging Core (SAIC). The purpose of the SAIC is to provide instrumentation and technical services for non-invasive anatomical and physiological imaging of small animals (mice, rats, rabbits) and other biological samples. The IIBI brings together more than 40 faculty members from colleges of medicine and engineering within the University of Iowa. Learn more about the IIBI at https://www.iibi.uiowa.edu. The facility has 9 imaging bays with flexible barrier/non barrier room conversion, five equipment rooms, an image analysis room and four radioactive animal housing rooms. The facility is immediately adjacent to a large vivarium with over 49,000 SF of barrier and non-barrier rooms and a behavioral testing facility.
The Department places consistently high in the Blue Ridge Institute NIH rankings, receiving an average of $6MM per year in NIH funding over the past 5 years.
