What are the responsibilities and job description for the Radiology Physicist - Nuclear Medicine position at Henry Ford Hospital Detroit Main Campus?
The Henry Ford Medical Group in Detroit, Michigan seeks an Imaging Physicist with experience in nuclear medicine for the Division of Imaging Physics in the Department of Radiology. Specific job responsibilities within the Division will depend on the applicant's previous experience. The candidate must have good communication skills and should be able to provide comprehensive support for clinical nuclear medicine.
The position requires teaching radiology residents, physics residents, technologists, and allied health personnel regarding all aspects of imaging physics and radiation safety. Active involvement in the imaging physics community through participation in radiology and physics societies (e.g. AAPM, RSNA, SNMMI, ACR, SIIM, SPIE, etc.) is encouraged and desired.
The Division currently has 11 physicists, each with subspecialty areas of responsibility, who work closely with radiologists and other clinicians in all imaging modalities. Group responsibilities include optimizing imaging system performance, developing and maintaining quality control and clinical imaging protocols, and educating clinical staff in imaging physics and radiation safety.
The Division of Imaging Physics is part of the Henry Ford Medical Group within Henry Ford Health (HFH), a major academic health system with 1,200 physicians and scientists, seven hospitals, over 40 primary care centers, and numerous affiliated entities across Southeast Michigan. The health system performs over 2 million imaging exams annually across more than 500 imaging systems. The flagship Detroit campus is a large Level I trauma and tertiary/quaternary care center spanning numerous specialties and the Henry Ford Cancer Institute. Major investments are currently underway, including a new 17-story hospital building and a theranostics facility jointly owned and operated by HFH and BAMF Health (Bold Advanced Medical Future) that will host radiopharmaceutical production and state-of-the-art imaging equipment (GE StarGuide and United uMI Panorama GS).
Candidates must have a Ph.D. or M.S. degree in a physical science and board certification or eligibility by one of the following:
- ABR in Nuclear Medical Physics
- ABR in Diagnostic Medical Physics
- ABSNM in Nuclear Medicine Physics and Instrumentation
