Position Summary
Director, Center for Cancer Imaging Research
Department of Radiology & Imaging Sciences
Indiana University School of MedicineDepartment of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Indiana University School of Medicine has launched a national search for a director for the newly commissioned Center for Cancer Imaging Research.
The mission of the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences is to provide impactful clinical care to our patients and to advance clinical care regionally, nationally, and internationally through translational research and excellence in training the next generation of clinicians, researchers, and technologists. IUSM Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences has a strong research program that includes over 35 research faculty organized within Imaging Research Institute. In 2023, the Blue Ridge Institute rankings listed the Department as 15th in NIH funding. The Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research, whose metrics are solely based upon radiology department funding as opposed to the Blue Ridge that combines radiology and radiation oncology, ranked the department 13th nationally in NIH funding in 2023, which places the department 6th among all public institutions and 1st among Big 10 institutions. In addition to department faculty led projects, there is a focus on team science, with research collaborations spanning many of the IUSM clinical and basic science departments as well as with neighboring institutions such as Purdue University and with industry partners. The department also supports the work of other investigators through the Developing Radiologic Imaging Value & Effectiveness in Research (DRIVER) program, which provides services for clinical trials, and the Imaging Research Institute, which comprises of Center for Neuroimaging, Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center, Center for Cancer Imaging, and state-of-the-art Research Imaging Core, which hosts a highly active radiochemistry program, including cyclotron and whole-body PET/MR system. In addition, the Department has medical physics programs that provide both internal and external services. IUSM is home to the Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center which is the only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center in Indiana and one of just 51 in the nation.
The ideal candidate for the Director of Center for Cancer Imaging Research will be a dynamic, highly collaborative cancer imaging investigator with a strong, extramurally funded, research program. The Director will be expected to develop and build a vision for cancer imaging research in the Department and across IUSM.
