Position Summary
The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is seeking an accomplished leader to serve as Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Radiology. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of radiology through innovative research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and strategic leadership.
The successful candidate will be responsible for developing a nationally recognized research program, drive translational research initiatives, mentoring faculty and trainees in radiology research, and securing extramural funding to advance imaging science and improve patient outcomes.
Join a nationally recognized academic medical center with access to cutting-edge facilities, including collaboration with the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center- Nebraska's only NCI-designated cancer center in the state and one of just 73 nationwide.
The ideal candidate will be a fellowship-trained radiologist and appointed to an on-site dual-role faculty position with responsibilities equally divided between radiology research (0.5 FTE) and sub-specialized clinical practice (0.5 FTE). Candidates must demonstrate a proven record of exceptional clinical expertise in their radiology sub-speciality.
The department is particularly interested in candidates with expertise in theranostics, who would contribute clinically to a busy nuclear medicine practice, or those with a background in informatics or artificial intelligence, who would practice within a diagnostic radiology sub-specialty. Sub-specialty alignment may be prioritized based on departmental needs.
Research Position Highlights
• Develop a nationally recognized research program in radiology with a focus on innovation and clinical interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Collaborate with research divisions throughout the UNMC system including NCI designated Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center
• Manage translational research initiatives that combine basic science discoveries with clinical applications to improve patient care.
• Secure extramural funding through grants and strategic partnerships.
• Participate in departmental strategic planning, aligning research goals with the missions of the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
• Mentor faculty, residents, fellows, and medical students in research methodologies, scholarly productivity, and career development.
• Design, initiate, and lead investigator-driven imaging trials and develop competitive research proposals.
• Provide support for clinical trials in radiology and interface between research coordinator and interdisciplinary teams.
• Lead and further develop an established Tumor Metrics Lab in the Department of Radiology
Clinical Position Highlights
• Sub-specialized focus: All radiology sub-specialties are welcome to apply and must demonstrate a proven record of exceptional clinical expertise
• The department is especially interested in candidates with expertise in theranostics who can contribute to a busy nuclear medicine practice, as well as those with other diagnostic radiology sub-specialities with a background in informatics or artificial intelligence. An interest in tumor metrics / clinical response evaluation would also be of benefit.
• Participate in tumor boards for multidisciplinary disease groups
• Virtually no call: no primary evening/overnight/weekend shifts, only minimal back-up call for rare coverage during connectivity outages or to provide consultations on cases for our highly trained remote teleradiologists
• Home workstations given to all faculty
• Flexible, equitable, and transparent scheduling - can take vacation in half-day blocks, long-term vacation planning within the group, academic time built into the schedule, dedicated preparation times for all tumor boards, etc.
• Salary and vacation: Highly competitive total compensation package including salary and time off when compared to Midwest private practices
• Generous CME budget
Environment & Technology
• The department values clinical excellence and high-level resident education but not at the expense of physician staff burn-out or the requirement for burdensome call responsibilities
• Relaxed, collegial environment
• State-of-the-art imaging equipment across CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, PET/CT, and diagnostic radiology
• Supportive, progressive department culture focused on professional satisfaction and work-life balance
The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is committed to creating a learning environment free from discrimination and harassment. UNMC is dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included.
