Position description

The Department of Radiology (http://radiology.ucsd.edu) at the University of California, San Diego is committed to academic excellence within the faculty, staff, and student body. We are currently seeking full-time faculty to join our Emergency Radiology team.

UC San Diego School of Medicine is consistently ranked among the top research-intensive medical schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. UC San Diego Health is the only academic health system serving the San Diego region, with major campuses in Hillcrest and La Jolla. The health system includes two Joint Commission-certified Comprehensive Stroke Centers, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, a Level 1 Trauma and Burn Center, a Level 4 Epilepsy Center, a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and a Center of Excellence for Parkinson's Disease.

The UC San Diego Department of Radiology is one of the most innovative and productive academic radiology departments in the country, offering advanced imaging services that support exceptional clinical care and groundbreaking translational research.

Emergency Radiology plays a vital role in supporting the region's only academic Level 1 Trauma Center. Our faculty provide 24/7 imaging coverage across multiple high-volume emergency departments, leveraging state-of-the-art technology and optimized protocols to deliver timely, high-quality interpretations for acutely ill and injured patients. Radiologists work in close collaboration with trauma surgeons, emergency medicine physicians, and other subspecialists in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment, while actively contributing to resident and fellow education, clinical research, and quality improvement.

The selected candidates will participate in the department's clinical, teaching, and research missions, with responsibilities including interpretation of multimodality cross-sectional and radiographic studies from emergency, trauma, and inpatient services. In addition, the selected candidates will also supervise and mentor trainees, with teaching opportunities both at the workstation and through formal didactic sessions.

The positions offers schedule flexibility to accommodate a variety of personal and professional preferences, ensuring a great work-life balance. Available shifts include:

• Day Shift: 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM
• Swing Shift: 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM
• Overnight Shift: 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM

Multiple academic tracks are available based on individual interests, experience, and scholarly goals.

We welcome applications from collaborative, dedicated radiologists who are passionate about emergency imaging and committed to advancing patient care, education, and academic excellence.

The appropriate series and appointment at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level will be based on the candidate's background and experience.
