MRI Research Faculty - Emory University

Discover Your Career at Emory University:

Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.

Description:

The Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Emory University invites junior, mid-career, and senior-level (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor) researchers with expertise in translational magnetic resonance imaging and 7T MRI to apply for a faculty position. This is an opportunity to participate in building and growing a basic and translational MRI research program centered on the state-of-the-art equipment and existing imaging programs. Emory Radiology and Imaging Sciences is an integrated cross-disciplinary scientific, administrative, and educational home for imaging sciences, with a focus on neuroscience, oncology and cardiovascular research.  Partnerships exist with Emory Healthcare, Winship Cancer Institute, Rollins School of Public Health, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Georgia Institute of Technology, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Marcus Autism Center, and industry partners within a collaborative environment.

The Emory Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences (http://www.radiology.emory.edu/index.html) has a strong record of innovation in imaging research, including the development and translation of unique MRI techniques and technologies.  This is an outstanding opportunity for an energetic scientist with interest in areas that complement and enhance the current research strengths of the Department (see http://www.radiology.emory.edu/research/).  He/She will be expected to develop a cutting-edge, independently-funded research program that includes strong intradepartmental and interdepartmental collaboration, as well as education.  Available research dedicated resources include: 7T, 1.5 and 3T MRI research and clinical scanners, cyclotron, radiopharmacy, preclinical and clinical PET and PET/CT imaging systems, and a clinically capable whole-body PET-MRI. The integrated core environment supported by the Georgia Research Alliance (https://www.cores.emory.edu/georgia-cores-alliance/index.html) permits equal access to strong, translation focused, integrated core laboratories including Emory’s Center for Systems Imaging (https://www.cores.emory.edu/csic/) as well as the Department’s Nuclear Medicine Division (see http://www.radiology.emory.edu/clinical-divisions/nuclear-medicine/index.html).

 

Primary responsibilities will include development of independent and collaborative research projects, generation of extramural funding, publication in peer-reviewed journals and supporting programmatic research activities related to MRI technology and applications with an emphasis on 7T. Previous leadership, managerial, and educational experience are preferred.  Rank will be commensurate with experience.

 

The qualified candidate should hold a PhD or MD-PhD in medical physics, engineering, or related field, a strong publication record in MR imaging and MR spectroscopy sequence design and analysis to create novel biomarkers for the clinic; design and optimization of novel pulse sequences for high- and ultrahigh- magnetic field strengths using simulation and mathematical modeling of the MR signal; and clinical translation MRI (including 7T) research. Should have demonstration of extramural research funding, as well as a strong commitment to education and mentoring the next generation of biomedical and physician-scientists.

 

The Department of Radiology, together with Emory University School of Medicine, is fully committed to the shared values of diversity and inclusion in order to achieve and sustain excellence. We firmly believe that we best promote excellence by recruiting and retaining a diverse group of faculty and staff promoting a sense of inclusion and belonging for every member of our community. This climate for diversity, inclusion and excellence is critical to attaining the best scholarship, teaching, and research.

Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and a summary of current and future research plans to: Dr. Krupinski, Search Committee Chair, Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, via email ekrupin@emory.edu.
