Current Employees: If you are currently employed at any of the Universities of Wisconsin, log in to Workday to apply through the internal application process. Job Category: Academic Staff Employment Type: Terminal (Fixed Term) Job Profile: Clinical Instructor Job Summary: This appointment will be in the 2028-2029 Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Fellowship Program, receiving subspecialty training in cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, and vascular CT and MR angiography, including congenital heart disease imaging and 4D flow MRI. This appointment has two components: 1) advanced clinical (and research) training in cardiovascular CT and MRI, and 2) providing independent clinical services for the Department of Radiology at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics and other UW Radiology outpatient or outreach sites and extended coverage areas as necessary as described below and as assigned by the Department Chair. You will receive additional compensation for these independent clinical services from the Department of Radiology through the UW Medical Foundation per the local Moonlighting Opportunities Summary. The fellow will interpret and post-process a high volume of coronary CT angiography, structural heart CT, cardiac MRI, and thoracic and peripheral vascular CT and MR angiography studies. Training includes hands-on protocoling and scanner-side experience, advanced post-processing in the department's 3D visualization laboratory (RADIUS), and participation in multidisciplinary conferences with cardiology, cardiac surgery, congenital heart disease, and vascular surgery colleagues. Dedicated academic time is provided for research, quality improvement, or educational scholarship. Fellows are supported in preparing abstracts and manuscripts for national meetings and peer-reviewed journals, and are expected to complete at least one scholarly project during the training year. Fellows are also fully supported to sit for Certification for Cardiac CT and Cardiac MR examinations and to pursue Level III equivalency in cardiovascular CT and MRI. Additional Job Details: • Terminal, 12-month appointment. Position is for one year with the possibility of extending for an additional year. • This position requires work to be completed onsite, at a designated 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 and every four years. Key Job Responsibilities • Cardiac CT: Interpret coronary CT angiography, including quantitative and qualitative plaque assessment, coronary artery calcium scoring, CT-derived fractional flow reserve, and functional and perfusion CT. Perform structural heart imaging for TAVR, transcatheter mitral and tricuspid intervention, left atrial appendage occlusion, and electrophysiology planning. • Cardiac MRI: Interpret and protocol cardiac MRI for cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, ischemic heart disease, myocardial viability, arrhythmogenic and infiltrative disease, valvular assessment, and cardiac masses, including parametric mapping (T1, T2, T2*, extracellular volume) and stress perfusion imaging. • Vascular CT and MR: Interpret thoracic and abdominal aortic, pulmonary arterial, carotid, renal, mesenteric, and peripheral CT and MR angiography, including pre- and post-procedural evaluation of endovascular and open surgical repair, aortic dissection and aneurysm surveillance, and vasculitis. • Congenital cardiovascular imaging: Evaluate pediatric and adult congenital heart disease across CT and MRI, including preoperative planning and long-term postoperative surveillance of repaired and palliated physiology, in collaboration with pediatric and adult congenital cardiology colleagues. • 4D flow MRI and advanced quantification: Acquire, post-process, and interpret 4D flow MRI for valvular and shunt quantification, aortic and pulmonary hemodynamics, and congenital physiology, with exposure to wall shear stress, kinetic energy, and other advanced hemodynamic metrics. • Advanced visualization and emerging technology: Participate in 3D post-processing, segmentation, cinematic rendering, 3D printing, and virtual and extended reality applications through the RADIUS laboratory, and gain exposure to photon-counting detector CT, deep learning reconstruction, and AI-based quantitative analysis tools. • Protocoling and scanner-side training: Protocol and monitor cardiovascular CT and MRI examinations, including contrast and radiation dose optimization, ECG gating strategies, heart rate management, and troubleshooting of non-diagnostic examinations. • Multidisciplinary and consultative work: Present at structural heart, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, aortic, and vascular surgery conferences, and serve as an imaging consultant to referring services. • Education: Teach residents, medical students, and technologists on service and through departmental didactics. Key Job Responsibilities: Department: School of Medicine and Public Health, Radiology, Cardiovascular Imaging.
