Position Overview

Organization: Radiology

Title: Assistant or Associate Professor (WOT) in Radiology, Research

Position Details

Position Description

The Department of Radiology at the University of Washington is recruiting for one full-time (100% FTE) faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor without tenure (WOT) by reason of funding, commensurate with experience, to join with an anticipated, but flexible, start date of July 1, 2026. Assistant Professors WOT are eligible for multi-year appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). Associate Professors WOT and full Professors WOT hold indefinite appointments that align with a 12-month service period (July 1-June 30). Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off. Faculty appointed WOT (without tenure due to funding) are in a non-tenure track because all or part of their annual University-administered salary is derived from sources other than regularly appropriated state funds. Except for this distinction, WOT faculty members have the same rights, responsibilities, and obligations as tenure track and tenured faculty members at those ranks.

The mission of the University of Washington Department of Radiology is to improve the health of the public using research-driven, imaging-based care with compassion, expertise and inclusiveness. Our vision is to advance healthcare through collaborative and diverse teams that lead discovery and educate the future leaders in radiology.

We are proud of our research endeavors, which aim at providing healthcare that is more accessible, less invasive, at a lower cost, and with optimal outcomes. We are ranked in the top 10 of NIH-funded academic radiology departments. Our valued educational programs are geared toward forming physicians and scientists who care deeply about our communities and see innovation as central to the challenges of the future.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the mission of the Department of Radiology and to develop and maintain an independent funded research program.

They will also be expected to form an independent funded research program in imaging of diseases and utilize Magnetic Resonance Imaging methods and analysis. Ideally the program will include HMC investigators from Radiology, Neurosurgery, Vascular Surgery, and Mechanical Engineering and be based at the Harborview Medical Center to help develop and expand the imaging research program while also collaborating with investigators in the existing MRI research groups in the Department of Radiology. This position will also be expected to support teaching, research, and administrative missions in the Imaging Research Laboratory, the Department of Radiology, and the UW School of Medicine. All faculty engage in teaching, research, and service.

The base salary range for this position will be: $8,750 - $13,334 per month ($105,000 - $160,008 annually) commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination.

Seattle has thriving culinary, cultural, artistic, and music scenes. It is not only the city that gave us Jimmy Hendrix, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam, but also the place where you find some of the best jazz performances in the world. Sports? Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Storm, Seattle Sounders FC, Seattle Mariners, and Seattle Kraken, and of course the University of Washington Huskies!
