Candidate must have a Doctor of Medicine (MD), Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree or foreign equivalent; have completed a Diagnostic Radiology Residency program and a minimum of 1 year of fellowship training, and be ABR- certified/eligible. Eligibility for Texas medical licensure and its acquisition prior to the start of employment is required. Appointment rank will be commensurate with academic accomplishments and experience.

The Community Radiology Division provides comprehensive clinical imaging services at numerous locations throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In addition, division faculty cross-cover other services at Clements University Hospital, Parkland Memorial Hospital, and Texas Health Frisco. Accordingly, the Chief oversees a division that works with referring physicians and providers throughout the surrounding community, acting as an ambassador to external physician practices and internal departments, and playing a role in translating imaging practices to the community.

Administrative, biostatistical and logistical support are provided. Strong collaborations with imaging vendors enrich discovery opportunities. Faculty benefits include an excellent healthcare plan, competitive salary and retirement benefits. A convenient on-campus transportation system ensures mobility between the various clinic locations across the expansive campus. Nearby daycare is also available.
