The Section of Molecular Imaging and Therapy in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is seeking a full time Nuclear Medicine physician or Nuclear Radiologist. The section has state-of-the-art imaging equipment and sees both adult and pediatric patients with a mixture of complexity from within OHSU, the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, as well as more widely throughout Oregon and adjacent states. Clinical responsibilities include overseeing the daily activities of the section which encompasses a broad imaging caseload generated by five SPECT/CTs, two digital PET/CTs, and a PET/MRI. We also have a robust theranostics program with particularly active neuroendocrine tumor, prostate cancer, and research therapies. There is also strong support from medical physics and an active dosimetry program. Participation in various multidisciplinary tumor boards is expected and shared amongst the faculty. Active involvement of the educational activities of the department is expected, including the Radiology residency as well as the Nuclear Medicine residency/fellowship programs. 

While not required, an interest and involvement in research is valued given the current trajectory of the field in general and at OHSU. This may involve a variety of research types including investigator-initiated studies, industry-sponsored clinical trials, or retrospective projects for both radionuclide imaging and therapy. The Center for Radiochemistry Research (CRR) is a state-of-art cyclotron facility, which may be available for collaboration to develop radionuclides for basic science, small and large animal experiments, or human clinical trials. Trainees of many levels and a strong departmental research team is available for support.  

The OHSU campus offers excellent opportunities for multidisciplinary research, with a history of innovative and collaborative studies. As the only academic medical center in the state of Oregon, OHSU provides a full spectrum of care to a large and diverse population, including an active transplant program and the Knight Cancer Institute. OHSU is home to numerous specialized research centers and institutes, including one of the first Clinical and Translational Sciences Award-funded programs in the country (the Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute), the Advanced Imaging Research Center (dedicated to improving medical imaging), the Knight Cancer Institute, the Dotter Interventional Institute, the Center for Spatial Systems Biomedicine (dedicated to elucidating the structural and mechanical properties of cells and tissues), and the Oregon National Primate Research Center. The Knight Cancer Institute is the only NCI-designated Cancer Center in Oregon. Educational responsibilities will include teaching at all levels commensurate with a large academic center, including medical student, resident, fellow and postgraduate training.

Candidates must be ABR or ABNM board certified or eligible after successful completion of an ACGME-accredited residency. International Medical Graduates are eligible for the position provided they have a valid ECFMG certificate, have completed an ACGME-accredited residency, and ABR or ABNM Exam, or are otherwise board-eligible through the ABR IMG Alternate Pathway program.   

Candidates at all levels of practice including those currently undertaking Nuclear Medicine Residency or Fellowship training are encouraged to apply. Oregon Health & Science University values a diverse and culturally competent workforce. Individuals with diverse backgrounds and those who promote diversity and a culture of inclusion are encouraged to apply.
