The Department of Radiology at University of Colorado Denver is seeking applicants for a full-time Emergency Imaging Radiologist faculty physician. We are interested in candidates at any stage of their career from the Sr. Instructor, Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor levels. This is an open-track position with faculty able to select between the Academic/Tenure-Eligible and Clinical Practice pathways. Exceptional international candidates who need J1 waivers are excellent candidates for either pathway.
The Emergency Department (ED) Division offers multiple faculty scheduling models designed to accommodate a variety of professional and lifestyle preferences. Current opportunities include ED Daytime, Fully Remote Night, and In-House Night positions, each with distinct clinical responsibilities and scheduling structures while providing comprehensive emergency radiology coverage.
ED Daytime
The daytime schedule follows a workweek defined as seven consecutive days (Monday through Sunday). Shifts run from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with faculty typically working one week out of every two, totaling 182 shifts over a 52-week period.
Fully Remote Nights
The fully remote night position consists of a three-person team providing overnight coverage for University Hospital from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
