Job Description
We are seeking a Pediatric Radiologist to join our department. The successful candidate will read diagnostic imaging exams and over-read diagnostic radiology residents. This position offers a rich variety of plain film, fluoroscopy, CT, MR, and ultrasound exams including fetal MRI. Pediatric Radiology enjoys a close collaborative relationship with pediatric clinicians. MU is building a new Children's Hospital next to the main University Hospital which will open in June of 2024. Pediatric Radiology will have a dedicated imaging suite at the new Children's Hospital with x-ray, fluoroscopy, US, CT, MRI, PET and Pediatric Radiology Reading Room in the imaging suite. We are currently fully staffed in Pediatric Radiology but anticipate expansion of the referring pediatric subspecialists with the opening of the new Children's Hospital. Thus we are hiring in anticipation of growth. MU Radiology imaging equipment is state-of-the-art and includes 9 MRI scanners (one 7T, four 3T, four 1.5 T) and 7 CT scanners (including multiple dual-energy CTs and a photon counting CT to be installed in the new Pediatric Radiology Imaging Suite). The Department of Radiology performs >330,000 exams per year and is financially successful.
All radiology clinical faculty receive dedicated academic time and have many opportunities to develop educational interests and/or pursue research interests. We have a strong basic science division with a particular strength in MRI physics. Research coordinator and biostatistical support for clinical faculty research projects are provided. Pediatric Radiologists participate in numerous multidisciplinary conferences and enjoy the respect of our referring clinicians. Our radiologists teach medical students, residents and fellows. We have an approved pediatric imaging fellowship program. MU offers 4 years of fellowship level training on the ABR Alternate Pathway for the appropriate candidate.
Looking to the future, MU is making a huge investment in medical research. The recently opened NextGen Precision Health Institute is a $220 million, 265,000-square-foot research facility that is a hub where scientists and clinicians collaborate with experts in other disciplines. The NextGen Precision Health building is sited immediately adjacent to the University Hospital. The facility is equipped for every step of the translational research process and houses a MAGNETOM Terra 7 Tesla (7T) MRI scanner, the first of its kind in Missouri. This scanner is used for both clinical care and research. In addition, the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is a major provider of medical isotopes in North America. TheraSphere, a treatment for liver cancer; Ceretec™, the first brain imaging agent; and Quadramet, an agent designed to relieve pain associated with metastatic cancer to the bone were developed by MURR scientists. MU has an ongoing, active radiopharmaceutical development program.
