The faculty member is encouraged to participate in the Department of Radiology education programs.
The applicant is expected to have a PhD (or equivalent) in chemistry or chemical engineering and documented experience in the development and execution of new molecular imaging agents for preclinical studies and clinical translation.
Candidates applying at the Assistant Professor level should have a minimum of two years of post-doctoral training. Exceptional candidates can apply at the Associate Professor or Professor levels. Candidates at or above the Associate Professor level are expected to have a strong publication record and sustained external funding in the areas described above.
