Nuclear Medicine Physician

Job Category Academic Staff Employment Type Regular Job Profile Assistant Professor (CHS) Job Summary The Department of Radiology offers a unique opportunity for a Nuclear Medicine Physician to support the Department of Radiology to contribute to our growing Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging section as an Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor on either the Clinical Health Sciences (CHS) track or Clinician Teacher (CT) track. This faculty member will pursue an academic career in Molecular Imaging and Radiotheranostics with opportunities for leadership roles in our radiology department within the Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging section at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center. Additional opportunities may arise for clinical work in subspeciality radiology sections (Cardiovascular, Chest, Abdominal etc.) and are available for candidates eligible for American Boad of Radiology (ABR) certification in diagnostic radiology (DR). The University of Wisconsin Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Section is composed of experts in multiple areas including general nuclear medicine and PET imaging, theranostics, nuclear cardiology, PET/ MR, prostate cancer imaging and therapy, and the imaging and treatment of patients with thyroid cancer. Therapies in patients with various forms of cancer are routinely performed with unsealed sources, such as radioactive iodine in patients with thyroid disease,177-Lu DOTATATE for patients with neuroendocrine tumors and 177-Lu vipivotide tetraxetan for patients with metastatic prostate cancer. The section is part of a major expansion of the UW theranostics program using both clinically approved and investigational agents. This is a growing area with state-of-the-art imaging equipment including PET/CT, PET/MR and SPECT/CT. The section offers both a nuclear medicine residency and a PET/molecular imaging fellowship program. The Department of Radiology benefits from strong collaborations with the Department of Medical Physics, and together the two share over 70,000 square ft. of facilities within the Wisconsin Institutes of Medical Research, including over $30 million of state-of-the-art equipment in PET, CT, MR, angiography, ultrasound and PACS.
