TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING ENGINEERING

We seek outstanding candidates to establish or continue an internationally-recognized, competitively-funded individual research program in magnetic resonance imaging AND who have a strong vision for future research within our rich MRI community. This faculty member will also have the potential to lead the imaging collaborations in neuroimaging and/or between the Department of Radiology and the Division of Cardiology at University Hospitals. The research areas of interest include, but are not exclusive to:

1. rapid MRI acquisition, especially those involving real-time acquisition and visualization
2. quantitative MRI, including magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) acquisition development, and
3. (3) high resolution MRI acquisition and reconstruction, especially those with integrated motion compensation or correction.
    

Clinical translation is a major goal of our program, so previous experience working in the clinical application areas of cardiac imaging and/or neuroimaging is strongly preferred. The MRI community at Case Western Reserve University is highly collaborative, and thus a demonstrated background in team science is preferred. The candidate is expected to take advantage of the strong corporate imaging research relationships and the world class Case Center for Imaging Research. A key feature of the MRI group is the 35-year long collaboration with Siemens on MRI technology development and translation. A doctorate in Biomedical Engineering or a closely related Science/Engineering field is required.  The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the graduate training mission of the department, to contribute to diversity and inclusion, and to engage in departmental, institutional and professional service activities.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statements on (1) research accomplishments and plans and (2) teaching and mentoring plans, (3) copies of three representative journal papers, and (4) the names and contact information of at least four professional referees. Please send these documents electronically in one PDF file to RadiologyCardiacMRISearch@case.edu. Any questions can be sent to this same email. Evaluation of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. 

Applicants are also asked to submit a statement explaining how their research, teaching, and/or service have contributed to diversity, equity and inclusion within their scholarly field(s) and/or how their individual and/or collaborative efforts have promoted structural justice inside and outside institutions of higher learning. This statement should also reflect on the ways in which the candidate’s continued efforts will foster a culture of diversity, pluralism, and individual difference at Case Western Reserve University into the future.

In employment, as in education, Case Western Reserve University is committed to Equal Opportunity and Diversity and advancing an inclusive community in which everyone is welcome, respected, valued and heard. Along with colleagues across the university, our faculty, staff and students are engaged in continued and meaningful dialogue about issues of systemic racism, and we are determined to implement direct measures to end discriminatory practices on our campus and enhance our contributions to the communities around us.  Women, veterans, members of underrepresented minority groups, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply

As our society grapples with the history, legacy and persistence of entrenched racism and its impact on communities of color, we reaffirm our mission to expand opportunities for underrepresented groups; provide a multifaceted education for our students; foster a culture of diversity, pluralism and recognition of individual difference; and realize our ideals within the university and in the larger world.
