Indiana University
Position: Director, Center for Cancer Imaging Research (Assistant/Associate/Full Professor of Radiology & Imaging Sciences) Appointment Type: Tenure Track Faculty Department: Radiology & Imaging Sciences Campus: IU School of Medicine, Indianapolis
Position Summary The Department of Radiology & Imaging Sciences at Indiana University School of Medicine has launched a national search for a director for the newly commissioned Center for Cancer Imaging Research. The mission of the IUSM Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences is to provide impactful clinical care and advance clinical care regionally, nationally, and internationally through translational research and excellence in training the next generation of clinicians, researchers, and technologists. The department has a strong research program that includes over 35 research faculty organized within the Imaging Research Institute. In 2023, the Blue Ridge Institute rankings listed the department as 15th in NIH funding. The Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research ranked the department 13th nationally in NIH funding in 2023, placing it 6th among all public institutions and 1st among Big 10 institutions. In addition to department faculty-led projects, there is a focus on team science, with research collaborations spanning many of the IUSM clinical and basic science departments as well as with neighboring institutions such as Purdue University and industry partners. The department also supports the work of other investigators through the Developing Radiologic Imaging Value & Effectiveness in Research (DRIVER) program, which provides services for clinical trials, and the Imaging Research Institute, which comprises the Center for Neuroimaging, Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center, Center for Cancer Imaging, and a state‑of‑the‑art Research Imaging Core. The department has medical physics programs that provide both internal and external services. IUSM is home to the Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only NCI‑designated comprehensive cancer center in Indiana and one of just 51 in the nation. The ideal candidate for the Director of Center for Cancer Imaging Research will be a dynamic, highly collaborative cancer imaging investigator with a strong, extramurally funded research program. The director will be expected to develop and build a vision for cancer imaging research in the department and across IUSM, building diverse but interrelated programs with multidisciplinary teams geared toward developing innovative imaging technologies and applying existing imaging tools to enable cancer biology studies to answer transformative questions and unmet patient needs in cancer diagnostics and targeted therapeutics.
Director of Center for Cancer Imaging Research will:
Build robust interdisciplinary cancer imaging research programs spanning both basic and translational research, comprising scientists, clinicians, and biomedical engineers, with a goal of establishing IU Radiology and Imaging Sciences at IUSM as a global leader in translational imaging for cancer research.
Lead the overseeing and organizing of research by faculty both within and outside the department as it pertains to cancer imaging research.
Expand inter‑departmental research collaborations for novel image‑guided diagnostics and interventions in cancer research using model systems.
Increase the department’s visibility and impact in cancer imaging research by expanding extramural funding from sources including but not limited to NIH, DoD, ARPA, and others, and promote publications in high‑impact journals.
Collaborate closely with Simon Cancer Center to investigate new imaging technologies to help facilitate and expand the infrastructure for biomedical imaging research and advance cancer imaging research in the department.
Expand the portfolio of intellectual property in the space of cancer imaging.
Initiate, support and expand investigator‑initiated and industry‑sponsored clinical trials centered around imaging‑guided cancer research.
Partner with commercial entities, both local and beyond, to jointly develop materials, methods, and tools targeting cancer; and foster incubators that are spun‑off as new start‑ups to enable commercialization of disruptive technologies to advance cancer care.
Preferably have demonstrated experience in leading research teams and have excellent communication skills.
Substantial resources are available that are commensurate with the vision of the ideal candidate for the Center for Cancer Imaging Research.
