NHLBI is recruiting a Clinical Tenure-Track and/or Tenured Investigator to build an innovative translational research program with a clinical focus on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at the NIH campus and at our collaborating quaternary care cardiology hospital, Medstar Washington Hospital Center (MWHC). We will cultivate technically-astute clinical researchers into independent investigators in patient-oriented research, which could include novel CMR methods and applications for 0.55T and higher-field CMR technology. NHLBI has a history of innovative contributions to CMR, and offers opportunities for collaboration with world-leading research groups. Successful applicants will receive an appointment with competitive salary, dedicated space at the Bethesda and MWHC campuses and budget with personnel support, travel and training funds, access to an extensive infrastructure including physics, research nursing, data-management support, and other services as needed including drug-development, gene- and cell-processing, advanced imaging, device prototyping, genomics, and large and small animal services.

 

The successful candidate should have a strong track record of achievement, expertise, experience and certification in the respective area of clinical/translational medicine. Applicants must be licensed to practice medicine in the United States and be board eligible/board certified in Cardiovascular Disease. Salary is commensurate with clinical and research experience and accomplishments, equivalent to the assistant professor or associate professor level.
