Description:

The Departments of Medical Imaging at St. Michael's Hospital (SMH) and the University of Toronto are currently recruiting a full-time, fellowship-trained, academic diagnostic neuroradiologist to join our Neuroradiology Division. The successful candidate must be eligible for a full-time clinical academic appointment at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2026.
We are an exceptionally collegial group seeking a clinically excellent radiologist to support our mission of exemplary patient care delivered in a positive and constructive work environment. We offer outstanding compensation and opportunities for professional and career growth. The successful candidate will join a vibrant division that provides CT and MRI services supporting a strong referral base in neuro-oncology, neurology, neurovascular, spine, skull base, and general neurosurgery as well as community outpatient services. The division also supports a busy multidisciplinary neurointerventional service. The group is heavily involved in clinical activity, teaching and research, and the successful candidate will participate fully in the University of Toronto academic programs and train medical students, residents and Neuroradiology fellows. The academic position description will be assigned based on the successful candidate's teaching and/or research strengths.
The successful candidate will be a self-starter, a team player comfortable interpreting all types of neuroradiological studies (plain film, CT and MR, lumbar puncture and myelography).  A candidate who has experience with quantitative MRI analysis of neuroimaging biomarkers such as DTI and perfusion imaging, pulse sequence optimization for clinical and research neuroimaging, functional imaging and neurovascular imaging techniques such as high-field vessel wall imaging would be desirable.  Experience and/or formal training in PET-CT would also be an asset, particularly in amyloid brain PET for dementia. The successful candidate must be eligible for an academic appointment at the University of Toronto and will integrate into multi-disciplinary clinical, education and research programs at St. Michael's Hospital.
The successful applicant must hold an MD or equivalent, be board-certified or board-eligible in Diagnostic Radiology with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or international equivalent, and must be eligible for medical licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario. Preference will be given to candidates who have completed a two-year RCPSC accredited fellowship in neuroradiology or equivalent experience. Successful completion of subspecialty exams is desirable.
Academic rank and salary will be commensurate with the candidate's qualifications and experience. The estimated income range will be $400,000 to $600,000 per annum for a full-time equivalent, with opportunity for increased salary commensurate with experience and academic credentials.
St. Michael's Hospital is a member of the Unity Health Toronto network and is a busy, 600-bed tertiary care and Trauma Centre and one of four principal teaching hospitals of the University of Toronto.  Within the University of Toronto, our department has distinguished itself with a long history of recognized excellence in undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate teaching.  We have a strong culture and history of close collaborative working and teaching relationships with Neurology, Neurosurgery, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, and the Trauma program.
Our department currently has 3 multi-detector CT scanners, and 4 MRI scanners (two 1.5T and two 3.0 T) plus a portable ultra-low field 0.064T head MRI scanner, the first clinical implementation of this technology in Canada. A new PET-CT is installed and is anticipated to be clinically operational in the department in 2026. A new additional CT scanner for the ED is planned. Recently, significant new resources have been added in support of the Department's internationally recognized research work through a Research Chair in Medical Imaging Artificial Intelligence. The hospital houses the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute and the Keenan Research Centre, which provide world-class support and opportunities for radiologists to engage in collaborative translational research.
Review of applications will begin immediately. The position will remain open until filled or recruitment is closed.
Qualified candidates should send a cover letter, CV, and list of 3 potential references to:
