The Nuclear Medicine Section in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at the University of Utah seeks a faculty member at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor rank to join our growing clinical and academic program. With new PET and theranostics suites under construction, this position offers an opportunity to help shape the next phase of molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy at an academic medical center.

We welcome applicants committed to excellent patient care, education, and academic collaboration. Academic rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Clinical Practice

Faculty responsibilities encompass a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine services, including:

Responsibilities include leading didactic lectures and case conferences, supervising trainees on clinical services, and providing individualized teaching and feedback. Our diagnostic radiology residency and nuclear radiology fellowship are ACGME-accredited.

Research and Academic Development

The department offers a strong research environment supported by an on-site cyclotron and radiopharmacy facilities, multiple time-of-flight PET scanners, and a long-axial-field-of-view PET system being installed. These resources create opportunities to contribute to theranostics clinical trials, advanced molecular imaging research, and multidisciplinary collaborations.

Section faculty receive protected academic and administrative time to support research, clinical trial participation, and other academic responsibilities. Section and departmental leadership opportunities may be available to interested and qualified candidates.

Clinical technology includes MIM, 4DM, Philips Vue PACS, Epic, and PowerScribe One.
