We’re looking for a Chief of Radiology to lead our department at the Indianapolis VA Medical Center.

Our VA is the referral center for a large region including parts of three states, and thus serves varied population of veterans with a wide range of needs and diagnoses. We have state-of-the-art equipment which is updated regularly, including on-site 1.5 and 3.0 T MRI, PET/CT, and SPECT/CT, in addition to other general radiology imaging modalities. We’re committed to keeping our physicians at the cutting edge to serve our patients by providing ongoing support for professional training and development. Our group is well respected within the institution, and has a great relationship with its referral base of primary care and specialist providers.

The VA offers an unbeatable benefits package including pension, retirement account with employer matching, health/life/disability insurance, and numerous other advantages. What’s more, central Indiana offers a fantastic mix of comfort, culture, and low cost of living that make it a great place to live and work, including some areas that regularly make the “top places to live” lists. If you’re interested in a welcoming place where you can grow professionally, we’d love to hear from you.

Loan Repayment:

• Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) is authorized for this position. It may be granted based on availability of funds.

Federal Retirement Plan:

• VA employees are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan composed of 1) Social Security benefits; 2) FERS-RAE basic benefits (pension); and 3) Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is a 401K-type plan
• How is the pension funded? VA employees automatically contribute 4.4% of their salary each pay period and the VA contributes 8.3% of the employee’s salary each pay period for a total annual contribution percentage equal to 12.7% of the employee’s salary
• Similar to the 401(k) savings plans widely available in the private sector, the TSP allows employees to tax defer a portion of their income each year, subject to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. Employees under the age of 50 may contribute up to $18,000, while those over age 50 are eligible to make catch-up contributions that allow them to defer up to $24,000.
• The Federal Government also provides an automatic basic contribution (1% of salary) and up to 4% of salary in matching contributions, depending on the amount of the employee contribution
• For retired military personnel, these benefits are in addition to full monthly retirement pay or pension
• In addition to FERS, VA provides health care insurance coverage for retired personnel
• Disability Retirement
• Employees are vested in a federal pension after only 5 years’ service
