Division of Research and Clinical Translation in Imaging (DIRECT‑I)

The new Division of Research and Clinical Translation in Imaging (DIRECT‑I) in the Department of Radiology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine is building a strong translational imaging program in cancer biology/oncology to accelerate progress across the full cancer continuum, from mechanism to target discover to quantitative biomarker to first‑in‑human impact. The vision of DIRECT‑I is to build scalable imaging research programs, supported by state‑of‑the‑art imaging, novel radiopharmaceuticals, advanced quantitative analytics, and AI‑enabled informatics to improve clinically-deployable diagnostics, theranostics, and therapeutics.

The division is recruiting at the level of Assistant and Associate Professor (tenure-track) in oncology/cancer‑biology. We seek investigators who use imaging as a core engine to investigate mechanisms, enable target discovery, and translate biomarkers and therapeutics to clinical trials. Areas of emphasis include: immuno‑oncology and the tumor microenvironment, cancer metabolism, metastatic mechanisms, drug discovery, AI-informatics, and cross‑cancer applicability. Imaging platforms include theranostics, PET/SPECT, MRI/CT, optical/ultrasound, with a strong preference for programs that span basic discovery to translational validation and clinical implementation. Candidates should have an interest in collaborations and cross-disciplinary team and translational science across the enterprise. In addition to the other Radiology faculty, the candidate will have opportunities to collaborate with faculty across multiple programs, including Biomedical Engineering, Translational Neuroscience, Center for Precision Medicine, Aging, Tobacco Center, Diabetes, Neurology, and Redox Biology.

Candidate Requirements

• PhD, MD, or MD/PhD (or equivalent)
• Independent or emerging research program in cancer biology/oncology imaging with strong mechanistic grounding
• Track record of peer‑reviewed publications and evidence of extramural funding potential (independent funding/K awards desirable, all qualified candidates considered)
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across basic, translational, and clinical teams
• Strong commitment to mentoring, training, and teaching
• Candidates who are female and/or from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in science are strongly encouraged to apply
