The Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine invites applications for a 100% clinical, research, or tenure track, open rank faculty position for a visionary faculty scientist (PhD or MD/PhD) to develop and lead a data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that straddles academics, clinical care, technology transfer and innovation. This can be a tenure track position (highly desired) with the potential for a named Chair if qualified (the Gwilym Lodwick Chair). We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong academic background, exciting research program, and leadership skills in Machine Learning, Data Science, and biomedical imaging. Expertise with big data and machine learning including deep learning leveraging Radiology subject matter is highly desirable.

Candidates are expected to have a leadership role in building a strong data analytics team and training the next generation of radiologists and scientists to lead in the era of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The team would have direct access to imaging and electronic medical record data within the hospital firewall, with a charge to drive collaborative projects aimed at improving clinical care, as well as the ability to rapidly implement these tools into clinical practice. Examples include developing AI imaging tools to aid in the diagnosis of specific diseases or using natural language processing and other methods to mine the EMR to improve current manual processes used to protocol or schedule examinations. Opportunities to collaborate beyond the department and outside of the hospital data firewall are also abundant and encouraged. Joint appointments, with access to graduate students, are also available within the College of Engineering or Department of Computer Science in the College or Arts and Sciences.

Major duties include:

• Oversee high-quality research in collaboration with a diverse, interdisciplinary team of data scientists and clinicians within the Department of Radiology and researchers and physicians across the University of Iowa


• Design and carry out original research in AI/data science and its applications in radiology


• Pursue extramural funding to support this effort, at least in part


• Develop research ideas into actionable research strategies and programs


• Publish research in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings

Required qualifications

• Relevant Ph.D., Md/Ph.D or documented experience in AI/ML for biomedical applications


• Research experience in developing machine learning and AI models and deploying into practice applicable to scientific discovery and innovation in imaging and healthcare


• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills


• The ability to work independently


• Excellent organizational skills


• Experience managing and collaborating with teams of healthcare professionals, engineers, and scientists


• Demonstrated experience promoting a diverse workforce/academic environment


• Demonstrated experience working effectively in a diverse environment

Highly Desired qualifications

• 6 years related experience


• Expertise with big data and machine learning including deep learning leveraging Radiology subject matter


• Leadership experience with a demonstrated facility for teaching
