Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Department of Radiology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seek candidates for several Assistant Professor positions in the non-tenure clinician educator track. Expertise is required in the specific area of Body Imaging with a focus on Pediatric Diagnostic Radiology. Applicants must have an M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. or equivalent degree. Completion of fellowship training in pediatric radiology or equivalent is required.

Teaching responsibilities may include teaching residents and fellows during readouts and conferences and participating in interdisciplinary conferences with clinical subspecialties. Teaching of medical students will be limited to those rotating through the Department of Radiology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. In addition, the candidate will prepare case-based and other learning materials and lectures, as well as teaching posters and presentations for national review.

Clinical responsibilities may include coverage in the areas of Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and other modalities such as Ultrasound (US), Fluoroscopy, and Inpatient/Outpatient Reading, as appropriate to the candidate’s experience.

The candidate will also participate in interdisciplinary conferences with clinical subspecialties and teach residents and fellows during readouts and conferences.

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include developing a focused body of clinical or basic research within the candidate’s area of expertise. This may involve clinical and translational studies, investigations into novel imaging approaches, or research into operational aspects of imaging and diagnosis within the health care system. The successful candidate will have prior research experience, with training at least equivalent to a clinical research certificate program or a mentored research experience during training and will have demonstrated evidence of peer-reviewed scholarship. Ample support and mentorship for research will be provided.
