Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians (HMFP) at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC)

The Department of Radiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, is seeking suitable candidates to serve as our next Section Chief of Neuroradiology. We are seeking an individual who will continue to drive the research, education, and clinical missions of the section, as well as advancing the careers of our outstanding neuroradiology staff and our fellows.

Currently, the Neuroradiology Section has twelve full and part-time faculty members and five fellows. The section chief will participate fully in the clinical, research and teaching missions of the section, interpret diagnostic imaging with CT and MR, and perform myelography and image guided lumbar punctures. All section members participate in an equally-shared neuroradiology call pool.

Section staff collaborate closely with our clinical colleagues and contribute to several multidisciplinary conferences each week. 

BIDMC is an anchor medical center for the Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH) network, which includes 13 hospitals, 4,300 physicians, 35,000 employees and covers approximately 1.3 million patients in eastern Massachusetts.

BIDMC has an outstanding MR research program, led by David Alsop, PhD, a pioneer in perfusion imaging. The faculty are active collaborators with investigators in Radiology and across the Medical Center.

Our Neurology Department is outstanding in clinical care, education and translational and basic research. It is perpetually among the leaders nationally in NIH funding. There are particular research and clinical strengths in cognitive neurology, epilepsy, stroke, movement disorders, oncology, peripheral nerve and demyelinating diseases.

Our dynamic neurosurgery service includes strengths in endovascular and open treatment of vascular disease, neuro-oncology, movement disorders, skull base and spine.

Our rapidly growing Otolaryngology department currently consists of 9 faculty members based at BIDMC, along with many collaborators across BILH.

With a recently-appointed new director of the NIH-designated BIDMC Cancer Center, neuro-oncology will be a major focus going forward. Independently, BIDMC is making strategic investments in in the clinical neurosciences with expansion of our programs in movement disorders and epilepsy.

The Medical Center is also introducing a translational research hub, “Neuroscience Connections”, which will facilitate collaborations among investigators across the spectrum of neuroscience research.

The Neuroradiology Section performs the full range of neuroradiology exams at the Medical Center’s main campus in Boston and at our affiliated sites. Current facilities include 10 clinical MRI units at 1.5T and 3T (not including research MR systems, human and small bore), 12 CT scanners (64 to 320 slice, including a portable unit), and state of the art biplane angiography equipment. The sites feed a common PACS and the studies are read at BIDMC in Boston, as well as remote reading through home workstations.

BIDMC is a major Harvard Medical School-affiliated teaching hospital with 649 beds, a Level I trauma center, and highly competitive residency and fellowship programs across the range of academic medicine. Candidates should be excited to work in an academic environment and committed to teaching medical students, residents, and fellows.
