Director of Pediatric Nuclear Medicine
About The Position
The University of Colorado School of Medicine Department of Radiology and Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHCO) are seeking a Radiologist with fellowship training in Pediatric Radiology and/or Nuclear Medicine, who is also eligible and motivated to pursue certification in the complementary discipline, to join our 41‑member pediatric radiology faculty group (36 MD/DO, 5 APP). This on‑site (or hybrid) position is based at the CHCO Anschutz Medical Campus, which is located along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in the Denver/Aurora area and is the main campus for the larger 600+ bed CHCO pediatric hospital system (inclusive of Anschutz Campus, North/South Hospitals and Colorado Springs Hospital). The CHCO Section of Pediatric Nuclear Medicine provides a full spectrum of diagnostic nuclear medicine examinations and theranostic procedures. The successful candidate will join and lead a robust Nuclear Medicine division of seven radiologists, along with contributing to general pediatric radiology coverage. The CHCO Department of Pediatric Radiology provides comprehensive pediatric imaging services - including radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and IR - and its faculty practice within a fully subspecialty‑based clinical structure. Ample departmental support will be available and provided for candidates needing additional experiential training toward achieving complementary Pediatric Radiology or Nuclear Medicine certification. This role is primarily performed during daytime business hours, with shared participation in after-hours coverage. The department provides a home workstation, 24/7 IT support, and travel/lodging for required onsite weeks if hybrid. This is an open-track position with faculty able to select between the Academic/Tenure-Eligible and Clinical Practice pathways with opportunities for teaching and multidisciplinary collaboration through the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Exceptional international candidates who need J1 waivers are excellent candidates for either pathway.
