Section Chief, Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (NMMI)
Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP) at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).
The Department of Radiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center , a Harvard Medical School affiliate, is seeking a superb candidate to serve as our next Section Chief of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
The ideal candidate will continue to drive the research, education, and clinical missions of the section, and will oversee the expanding cardiac, theranostic and oncological clinical service lines.
Currently, the Section has three faculty members all of whom participate in the broad spectrum of clinical and teaching activities, in multidisciplinary meetings, and in an equally-shared NMMI call pool.
The Division performs the full range of nuclear medicine exams (approximately 8000 studies per year) at the Medical Center’s main campus in Boston and at our affiliated community sites.
Current downtown facilities include 4 gamma cameras and gamma camera computers, a dedicated nuclear cardiac camera, two SPECT / CT scanners and one PET / CT scanner.
The sites feed a common PACS and the studies are read at BIDMC in Boston, as well as remote reading through home workstations.
Current areas of research address identification of tumor-targeting biomarkers, lymphoscintigraphy supporting a large clinical lymphedema program, and dosimetry relating to hepatic yttrium micro-bead delivery.
In addition, the department will be engaged in the newly announced and exciting clinical collaboration between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, BIDMC, and Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP) to establish New England’s only free-standing adult inpatient cancer hospital.
The collaboration will bring together world-class clinicians to deliver transformational, precision medicine in an environment solely dedicated to defying cancer.

Candidates for this position should have experience managing a clinical division, or equivalent level of operational experience, must be board-certified in diagnostic radiology and be eligible for licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Fellowship training in nuclear medicine is preferred.
Candidates should be eligible for appointment at the Assistant or Associate Professor level at Harvard Medical School; salary and academic rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
