Science

Research or scholarship responsibilities may include developing an innovative research program focused on the discovery, development, and translation of radiopharmaceuticals for imaging and therapy. Areas of particular interest include radiometal chemistry, radiolabeling methodologies, targeted radionuclide therapy, and the development of novel radiopharmaceutical agents for cancer and other diseases. Research activities may include radiopharmaceutical design and synthesis, preclinical imaging and therapy studies, pharmacokinetic and biodistribution evaluations, dosimetry, and translational studies supporting clinical development.

The successful candidate will be expected to pursue extramural research funding, contribute to scholarly publications, and establish collaborative research relationships across radiology, nuclear medicine, oncology, chemistry, engineering, and other biomedical disciplines. The candidate will also participate in the academic mission of the Department through mentorship, graduate and postgraduate training, and relevant professional service.

The position offers the opportunity to develop an independent research program within a multidisciplinary environment with established capabilities in radiochemistry, molecular imaging, and translational radiopharmaceutical development, including targeted radionuclide therapy.

The University of Pennsylvania dates its founding to 1740, when a prominent evangelist, George Whitefield, and others established an educational trust fund and began construction of a large school building at Fourth and Arch streets in Philadelphia.
