Job Summary

The Department of Radiology at the University of Colorado Anschutz seeks a full‑time radiologist and faculty member for its Musculoskeletal Radiology Section. Candidates at any career stage—from Senior Instructor to Full Professor—are invited to apply. The Department offers two career pathways: Clinical Practice Track (exclusive clinical focus with productivity‑based compensation) and Academic/Tenure‑Eligible Track (clinical, teaching, and research missions with incentive eligibility).

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnostic responsibilities include subspecialty interpretation of MSK, MRI, CT, ultrasound, and radiographs. Spine imaging interpretation is shared between the neuroradiology and MSK sections. Our team reads cases referred by Orthopedic Surgery, PM&R, and Sports Medicine. Weekend call duties are shared by all section members and consist of MSK specialty‑specific coverage.
• Experience in standard interventional MSK procedures such as CT‑guided and ultrasound‑guided biopsy, spine injection, and joint injection/aspiration is necessary, although we are happy to work with new colleagues to adapt their existing skills to our practice. A subset of attendings perform advanced interventions including kyphoplasty and tumor ablation; opportunities in this area are available, though those skills are not required.
• As a member of the Department covering multiple sites, the successful recruit will be required to participate in all aspects of our clinical practice.
• Participation and collaboration through interdisciplinary conferences is ongoing.
• Participation in fellow and resident education is expected.
• Being one of the primary radiologists at our hospital, regular interaction with referring providers within our highly collaborative setting is a standard expectation of the role.

• Hybrid – eligible for a hybrid schedule with the ability to read from home and from the hospital as the section clinical schedule allows.
• Remote – eligible to work remotely, but the employee must be in the United States.

Minimum Qualifications

• Licensed MD or DO from an accredited institution in the U.S., or equivalent, if a non‑U.S. graduate.
• ABR eligible or certified.
• Colorado license by the time of hire.

Preferred Qualifications

• Subspeciality fellowship training.
• Experience working and collaborating with multiple clinical specialties.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Interpretation of radiology imaging studies and procedures.
• Competency in basic radiology procedures.

Benefits

• Medical: Multiple plan options
• Dental: Multiple plan options
• Additional Insurance: Disability, Life, Vision
• Retirement 401(a) Plan: Employer contributes 10% of your gross pay

Anticipated Pay Range

Hiring range for all ranks: $500,000 – $650,000. Compensation is based on a productivity model that could exceed this range. The salary of the finalist(s) will be set based on a variety of factors, including internal equity, experience, education, specialty, and training.
