The Departments of Medical Imaging at St. Michael’s Hospital (SMH) and the University of Toronto are recruiting a full-time, fellowship-trained, academic Interventional Radiologist. The successful candidate will be assigned an academic position description based on their teaching or research strengths and must be eligible for a full-time clinical academic appointment at the rank of Assistant / Associate / Full Professor. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2026.

SMH is a member of the Unity Health Toronto network and is a busy, 463-bed quaternary care academic centre, and one of four principal teaching hospitals of the University of Toronto. Within the University of Toronto, the Department of Medical Imaging has distinguished themselves with recognized excellence in undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate teaching, as well as research. The successful candidate will join a collegial group that supports our mission of excellent patient care delivered in a positive and constructive work environment, and the opportunity for a close collaborative working and teaching relationship with Vascular Surgery, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, the Trauma program, and every other acute care hospital program.

The role offers excellent compensation and opportunities for professional and career growth. This is the ideal role for a self-starter and a team player, and will offer the opportunity to excel in interaction with patients, colleagues, staff and management, and excel in a high-volume environment with a commitment to high quality patient and family centered care, continuous quality improvement, research and teaching. In this role, the successful candidate will perform all types of vascular and non-vascular Interventional Radiology (IR) procedures, and participate fully in the supervision, processing and interpretation of all vascular CT and MRI studies. This role may also offer the opportunity to interpret all other types of diagnostic radiology studies (X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI). The position includes a significant opportunity for advancement in clinical leadership and research in IR, both at the University of Toronto and at SMH.

The successful candidate will join the Division of Interventional Radiology in the Department of Medical Imaging at SMH, and participate in the acute on-call roster covering Interventional Radiology. They will be expected to participate in radiology resident rounds and in multi-disciplinary team meetings/rounds. They will supervise trainees at the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels in their area of formal fellowship training, including but not limited to the dedicated clinical IR fellowship program at SMH each year.

The successful applicant must hold an MD or equivalent and will have completed residency training in Diagnostic Radiology and fellowship training in Interventional Radiology, or an accredited Interventional Radiology residency. Preference will be given to Interventional Radiologists with additional diagnostic radiology fellowship training, particularly in Abdominal Imaging, to function in a hybrid interventional and diagnostic abdominal radiologist role in the practice. Procedural experience in interventional oncology, innovative interventions for pain management, pulmonary AVM embolization, and/or transperineal prostate biopsy, are all assets. Additional experience or training in reporting chest CT and spine MRI/CT are assets as well. Evidence of excellence in teaching and/or research is required.

The successful candidate must be eligible for medical licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario and be eligible for certification with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or have comparable qualifications.

Qualified candidates should send a cover letter, CV, and list of 3 potential references to Dr. Anish Kirpalani, Chief, Department of Medical Imaging, to: Anish.Kirpalani@unityhealth.to. Review of applications will begin immediately. The position will remain open until filled or recruitment is closed.

There are 3 dedicated IR suites and 2 dedicated neurointerventional suites, 9 ultrasound units, 3 CT scanners, and 4 MRI scanners at SMH. There are short-term growth plans for an additional 1 CT and 1 MRI scanner at SMH. SMH also has a day unit in Medical Imaging dedicated for IR patients. Plans are underway to expand outpatient IR service capacity in the practice.

The hospital houses the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute and the Keenan Research Centre that provides excellent research support and affords many opportunities for radiologists to engage in inter-departmental, collaborative translational research in Medical Imaging. There are significant resources in support of the Department of Medical Imaging’s internationally recognized AI research work.
