Cincinnati Children’s is one of the largest standalone pediatric hospitals in the world, performing approximately 1,000 pediatric imaging exams each day across three hospital campuses and several ambulatory centers throughout the greater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky region.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative team of five other dedicated clinical medical physicists and MRI scientists, representing one of the largest dedicated medical physics teams at a standalone pediatric institution in the world. Our team provides comprehensive physics expertise across CT, digital radiography, fluoroscopy, image-guided therapy, ultrasound, nuclear medicine (including PET and theranostics), and MRI.

We are particularly interested in candidates with a demonstrated record of clinical research and peer-reviewed publication who are eager to translate medical physics expertise into improved patient care. Dedicated protected research time will be available.

The successful candidate will be eligible for a faculty appointment through the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, including faculty benefits and protected research time.
