Description

The Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging invites applications from academically accomplished early-career Interventional Radiologists for a non-tenure track instructor-level faculty appointment. A strong interest in clinical care, education, and academic development is required. Candidates should demonstrate a desire to build a research portfolio, particularly in the area of arterial and venous disease, though extensive prior funding is not required. Board certification is not required for this position.

Yale Interventional Radiology (YIR) is a nationally leading academic section which provides the entire spectrum of IR procedures with high-volume oncologic, vascular, transplant, trauma and pediatric services. Due to increasing service successes, the section is expanding. It is currently composed of 20 faculty, 8 advanced practice providers and 20 integrated and independent IR residents with access to a wide range of imaging modalities. The practice includes a large tertiary multi-disciplinary hospital (~1500 beds) with an associated NCI-designated cancer center, two affiliated peripheral inpatient hospitals (>500 beds), a VA hospital, two out-patient IR facilities and numerous IR clinics. Applicants should be enthusiastic about joining a mutually supportive group of nationally recognized faculty who excel at practicing “state-of-the art” IR within an academic environment.

Yale University is a preeminent research institution boasting research expenditures of more than $450 million each year, as well as a $42 billion endowment. Yale researchers have included 34 Nobel Prize laureates to date. According to U.S. News & World Report’s 2022 “Best Colleges and Universities” index, Yale ranks fifth among the top 200 universities in the nation. The university currently employs approximately 4,400 faculty members and 9,700 staff members. The Yale School of Medicine is also one of the tops in the nation, ranking tenth for research, and is world-renowned as a center for biomedical scholarship, education, and advanced healthcare. The hospital system serves a population of more than 1.5 million people and is a referral center for many complex conditions and treatments.

Within the Yale School of Medicine, the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging is a research, teaching, and clinical center of excellence, devoted to providing optimal patient care through excellence in imaging and image guided therapy. The department has a long history as a pioneer in the field of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, and more than 100 years ago, was the first site in the United States to generate X-Rays. As the historical cradle of American radiology, our Department is currently listed nationally as one of the top 5 ranked research institutions as funded by the National Institutes of Health.

New Haven has been home to the university for three centuries. With a population of 130,000 residents and measuring approximately 20 square miles, New Haven is “large enough to be interesting, yet small enough to be friendly.” As a center for business and a mecca for the arts, the city is recognized for its innovation and culture, with great restaurants and a wealth of activities for families and single professionals of all ages. New Haven is also conveniently located between New York and Boston, and both are easily accessible due to the area’s robust rail transit system.

Qualifications

In addition to providing excellent clinical care, the candidate will be expected to participate in education and to develop and expand an academic profile in clinical or translational research, with particular opportunities in arterial and venous interventions, vascular reconstruction, thrombosis, and related imaging sciences. The candidate is expected to have strong foundational training in image-guided procedures, demonstrate excellent clinical acumen, and show motivation to grow expertise in advanced vascular interventions. Depending on individual background and academic goals, protected non-clinical time may be provided to support scholarly development and participation in national-level CME activities. Prior exposure to vascular interventions—including venous and arterial recanalization, thrombectomy, and dialysis access—will be viewed favorably, as will experience or interest in logistics and management of procedures in outpatient or OBL environments. While the position is primarily clinical, interest in diagnostic cardiovascular imaging is encouraged but not required. The candidate will be expected to reach board certification within 2 years of employment upon which transition towards tenure-track positions is encouraged.
