Community Division Radiologist
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Public research university in Madison, WI
The Department of Radiology offers a unique opportunity for a Community Division Radiologist to join a collegiate group of 25+ sub-specialized radiologists, who represent the community arm of a large, internationally recognized academic radiology department. This group provides radiology services to Unity-Point Meriter Hospital; a non-profit 448-bed community hospital which provides a complete range of medical and surgical services. Additionally, the Community Radiology Division provides radiology services to the adjacent 1. S. Park Clinic, Eastpark Madison Clinic and several smaller community hospitals in southwestern Wisconsin, both on-site and remotely.
Despite its university affiliation, the division's daily workflow more closely resembles that of a general community practice. In distinction to other community practices, however, this position offers unique access to the benefits of university affiliation and state employment. These include the ability to pursue passions in collaborative research or medical education, if desired. As a public employee, hired faculty member will participate in the Wisconsin Retirement System which includes pension benefits and malpractice coverage. This position also comes with a competitive salary and generous retirement options.
We have a single PACS system which connects all campuses including the academic department. Fully functional home workstations are also provided, allowing for remote work. Our practice emphasizes the ideals of the American College of Radiology Imaging 3.0 initiative, and candidates should be willing to collaborate with our technologists and providers daily. Occasional travel to outreach hospitals (optional driver service available) would be expected. Candidates would participate in the call pool, equally based on FTE status, including weekends, and overnight call (can be done at home; currently shared by 18 members). The candidate must be able to interpret all modalities including X-Ray, CT, US, MRI as well as perform basic fluoroscopic procedures (joint injections, arthrograms, lumbar punctures).
This position is full or part-time, 80-100%
This position may require some work be performed in-person, onsite, at a designated campus work location. Some work may be performed remotely, at an offsite, non-campus work location.
This position has been identified as a position of trust with access to vulnerable populations. The selected candidate will be required to pass an initial caregiver check to be eligible for employment under the Wisconsin Caregiver Law every four years.
Applicants who are interested in pursuing an academic career in the Community Radiology Division will be considered for the titles listed in this posting, including Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, Clinical Professor, Assistant Professor (CHS), Associate Professor (CHS) or Professor (CHS). The title is determined by the experience and qualifications of the finalist.
CT Track: The successful candidate will provide patient care at UW Health approved locations; participate in resident and medical teaching within the scope of their medical practice.
CHS Track: The successful candidate will participate in administrative, and committee work to support the clinical and scholarly missions of UW Health and the School of Medicine and Public Health. As essential part of these duties will be working in a collegial relationship with other faculty members.

Madison's technology economy is growing rapidly, and the region is home to the headquarters of Epic Systems, Exact Sciences, Sub-Zero, and Land’s End, as well as many biotech, healthcare IT, and health systems startups. In the Fall of 2023, Wisconsin was designated as a Tech Hub by the Economic Development Administration (EDA), which resulted in a grant award of up to $75 million to help accelerate growth of the state’s bio health industry. Phase 2 of the Wisconsin Biotech hub was announced in July 2024, resulting in $49 million in additional funding to help drive transformative medical innovation, workforce development and critical job growth across Wisconsin. One of the three technology projects of this proposal is the Wisconsin Health Data Hub, led by researchers from the University of Wisconsin, School of Medicine and Public Health.
