Which companies hire nuclear medicine technologists in New York?
Employers hiring nuclear medicine technologists in New York right now include Voyage Health, NYU Langone Health, and St. Joseph's Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New York's dense concentration of academic medical centers and large integrated health systems means full-time staff openings appear more regularly here than in most other states.
Which New York cities have the most nuclear medicine technologist jobs?
New York, Syracuse, and Rochester have the most nuclear medicine technologist openings in New York. New York City drives the largest share of listings because of its concentration of major academic medical centers and high-volume imaging facilities, while Buffalo and Rochester produce consistent demand through regional health systems like Kaleida Health and Rochester Regional Health that anchor those markets.
Are there remote nuclear medicine technologist jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Nuclear medicine technology is a hands-on clinical role that requires in-person patient care, radiopharmaceutical handling, and direct scanner operation, so remote work is not broadly available. About 0% of nuclear medicine technologist openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve teleradiology review or quality assurance functions rather than direct patient imaging.
How can I get hired as a nuclear medicine technologist in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate positions at large New York hospital systems, several of which offer structured orientation programs for newly licensed technologists. Montefiore, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Northwell Health regularly post entry-level roles that pair new graduates with experienced senior techs during an extended training period. Candidates who have completed clinical rotations at New York facilities, hold both ARRT(N) and a current New York State license, and have cross-trained in radiography or CT imaging have a clear advantage in competitive markets.
