The Department of Radiology at the University of Kentucky (UK) College of Medicine seeks an exceptional full-time, ABR-certified/eligible Radiologist for a clinical faculty position in the Division of Neuroradiology at the Albert B. Chandler Medical Center (UK HealthCare). The Swing Neuroradiologist will be at the Assistant Professor Level or higher and will join the six (6) existing faculty members within the Division. Reporting to the Division Chief of Neuroradiology, the Evening Neuroradiologist will be responsible for interpreting the full range of diagnostic imaging studies, performing image-guided spine procedures, and providing consultation to referring physicians at the region’s only Level 1 pediatric and adult trauma center.

This swing shift opportunity (2pm to Midnight, 7 days on/7 days off) provides the radiologist with a schedule of one week on and one week off, which allows for significant flexibility for travel and family.

The ideal candidate will be fellowship-trained in neuroradiology. Candidate will be expected to be superior in all aspects of diagnostic neuroradiology and capable of teaching CT, angiography myelography, and MRI to neuroradiology fellows, radiology residents, and medical students through didactic lectures and participation in various multidisciplinary conferences. The Division offers an ACGME-accredited 1-year Neuroradiology Fellowship. Specific clinical and research interest can be in any area within the scope of neuroradiology.

The UK Neuroadiology Division & UK Chandler Neurosurgery Department:

The Division of Neuroradiology is comprised of fellowship-trained radiologists who specialize in the use of advanced imaging for diagnosis of disorders affecting the nervous system, spine, head, and neck. These include stroke, brain tumors, trauma, aneurysms and vascular malformations, demyelinating diseases, head and neck cancer, and degenerative diseases of the spine. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are the primary imaging modalities utilized. Advanced techniques offered by our Division include MR and CT angiography and perfusion imaging, as well as MR spectroscopy. Additionally, the Division performs image-guided procedures for diagnostic purposes including fluoroscopic guided lumbar punctures, myelograms, and cisternograms.

Additionally, in conjunction with the Department of Neurosurgery, the Division has expertise in the field of Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology. This discipline involves the use of angiography and endovascular techniques to diagnose and treat disorders involving the blood vessels of the brain and spine. These disorders include stroke, aneurysms, vascular malformations, and vasculitis. Treatments offered include coil embolization of aneurysms, arterial stenting, embolization of vascular malformations, thrombectomy for treatment of acute stroke, biopsy of tumors affecting the head and spine, and treatment of compression fractures of the spine.

Education/Certifications/Licensure:

  • MD or DO degree.

  • Current Board Certification or Eligibility in Diagnostic Radiology (ABR certified).

  • Completion of an ACGME-accredited Neuroradiology Fellowship training program required.
