Physician - Nuclear Radiology

The Department of Radiology at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University invites applications for a full-time faculty position as a Nuclear Medicine Physician/Nuclear Radiologist in the Division of Nuclear Medicine. This growing, dynamic and state-of-the-art environment is seeking a full-time faculty member with ABR and/or ABNM board certifications at the rank of Assistant, Associate or full Professor in the tenure or non-tenure tracks. With a strong clinical service, research and teaching, our division offers robust opportunities for an academic career in Molecular Imaging and Radiotheranostics, with additional opportunities for leadership roles. Our hybrid imaging modalities (digital) SPECT/CT, (digital) PET/CT and PET/MR as well as novel approaches in Theranostics are the basis of strong interdepartmental and interdisciplinary collaborations. The majority of nuclear medicine studies across the University Hospitals Health system are interpreted at the main Campus in Cleveland, which enables standardization of protocols and quality control, along with strong relationships within the division and across the system. The Nuclear Medicine Division provides a full spectrum of diagnostic imaging with state-of-the-art equipment including 7 PET/CT scanners, digital PET/CT and a PET/MR scanner. We offer comprehensive radionuclide diagnostic and therapeutic procedures including I-131, Ra-223 Xofigo, Y-90 microspheres, Lu-177 Dotatate and Lu-177 PSMA therapies. The Nuclear Medicine group works in close collaboration with many stakeholders including Medical Oncology, Surgery and Radiation Oncology to expand our interdisciplinary Center for Theranostics, using novel investigational radiopharmaceuticals. The Nuclear Medicine Division has outstanding expertise in all aspects of Nuclear Medicine and also offers unique opportunities to expand the current clinical and research programs in neuroscience, neuro-oncology, neuro-degenerative imaging, and nuclear cardiology. In close collaboration with our Medical Physics team, we also are developing novel dosimetry-based radionuclide treatments, including post-treatment dosimetry. UHCMC has access to a cyclotron and operates a human-use PET radiochemistry laboratory for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic molecular imaging agents. There is a small animal imaging center within the Hospital at the main campus (Case Center for Imaging Research). With these technologies the Nuclear Medicine Division works closely together with researchers from Case Western Reserve University in multiple joint projects. The successful candidate should have experience in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures and a track record in scholarship, education, and research. They should also have a commitment to teaching future radiologists and in developing of a career in an academic environment. The Department of Radiology performs over 1.5 million exams per year and is staffed by over 100 clinical faculty members. Our world-renowned health care network is anchored by our flagship facility, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center (UHCMC); located in Cleveland's historic University Circle, this 947-bed academic medical center and tertiary-care hospital has been consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's best hospitals in all 12 medical and surgical specialties. The department also contains the Case Center for Imaging Research, the #1 funded medical imaging research center in Ohio, and which is also ranked 12th nationally for NIH imaging funding. UH Radiology's equipment system-wide includes 32 MR units, 40 CT units, and 48 Nuclear Medicine scanners. UH Radiology has co-developed new industry technologies such as Multidetector Spectral CT, Digital PET/CT and MRI Fingerprinting. The radiology department provides clinical services for 12 Regional Hospitals and over 60 university-associated outpatient clinics.
