The
Department of Radiology
at the University of California, San Diego is committed to academic excellence within its faculty, staff, and student body. We are currently recruiting full-time and part-time faculty to join our Musculoskeletal (MSK) Radiology team.
UC San Diego School of Medicine is consistently ranked among the top research-intensive medical schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. UC San Diego Health is the only academic health system serving the San Diego region, with major campuses in Hillcrest and La Jolla. The health system includes two Joint Commission-certified Comprehensive Stroke Centers, an NCI-designated Moores Comprehensive Cancer Center, a Level 1 Trauma and Burn Center, a Level 4 Epilepsy Center, a Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and a Center of Excellence for Parkinson’s Disease.
The Department of Radiology is one of the most innovative and productive academic radiology departments in the country, offering advanced imaging services that support exceptional clinical care and cutting-edge translational research.
The MSK Division provides comprehensive subspecialty MSK imaging and image-guided procedural services across UC San Diego Health. The division is committed to subspecialty clinical practice, resident and fellow education, multidisciplinary collaboration, and academic development.
Clinical responsibilities include interpreting MSK radiographs, DEXA, CT, MRI, and ultrasound studies, as well as performing image-guided procedures such as joint injections, aspirations, and biopsies using fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT. The selected candidates will provide on-site coverage at multiple clinical locations, with hybrid work opportunities and home PACS workstations available for eligible remote clinical assignments, depending on departmental needs. On-site presence is required for procedures, teaching, and designated clinical coverage.
Selected candidates will also teach medical students, diagnostic radiology residents, and MSK fellows; contribute to multidisciplinary conferences and other division and departmental academic activities; and complete UCSD-certified moderate sedation training as part of their procedural responsibilities. Selected candidates will also have opportunities to participate in clinical and translational research and collaborate with colleagues across orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine, rheumatology, oncology, and other specialties.
The appropriate series and appointment at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level will be based on the candidate’s background and experience.
