• Engage in scholarly, academic, or research activities consistent with departmental needs
• No expectation to interpret MRI or pediatric imaging studies, and no requirement to perform procedures as part of the Emergency Radiology Division clinical practice
• This is an open rank, fixed term faculty appointment at the rank of Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
