The Opportunity

This Nuclear Medicine Technologist role pays $82,000 to $105,000 a year with a $15,000 sign-on bonus, and relocation assistance is available.

You'll report to the Supervisor of Nuclear Medicine and work with advanced imaging technology, from gamma cameras to PACS. Recruiting nationwide, with relocation paid.
