Working/Functional Title

Inaugural Center Director, Assc/Full Prof - Tenure

Position Summary

Overview:

Michigan State University has completed construction on the Center for Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy (CIIGT) housed within the Department of Radiology in East Lansing. This strategically designed 13,000 sq ft research space has specialized facilities for large animal (e.g. pig, sheep), companion animal, and human research and clinical trials. The centerpiece of this facility is a Siemens Biograph One PET/MRI system, slated for installation in Fall 2025 adjacent to our cyclotrons and radiopharmacies. MSU Radiology now seeks a visionary and accomplished scientist with a strong record of innovation and successful collaboration to serve as our Inaugural Director of the CIIGT. This leader will be charged with fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across the many Colleges, Institutes, and Programs at MSU, including our three medical colleges, the College of Natural Science, and MSU's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Additional clinical and basic scientific collaboration with our institutional partners from the Henry Ford Health campus will add depth and scope to the position with anticipated state-wide impact.

This Center is an inspiring and tangible manifestation of MSU's One Team, One Health initiative envisioned to bring our strengths in human, animal and environmental health together to become a national powerhouse of healing. The CIIGT provides a collaborative nexus of innovation uniquely enabling scientists to leverage human and large animal models and reciprocal translation to the benefit of all life. Powered by a cutting-edge imaging system, CIIGT will lead a dynamic PET and MRI research programs, advancing both methodological innovation and translational applications across species. The Inaugural Director will play a central role in shaping and executing this vision by building research capacity, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and guiding the scientific direction of CIIGT's imaging initiatives.

Role and Responsibilities:

The inaugural Director of CIIGT will have the rare opportunity to shape and lead a cutting-edge research hub poised to make significant contributions to the field of imaging sciences. In addition to directing CIIGT, the successful candidate will bring an established, externally funded research program that aligns with the Center's mission and enhances its scientific profile. The Director will also lead the recruitment and selection of two additional faculty members whose research programs will complement and advance the scientific mission of the CIIGT. As the Center grows, the Director will expand the administrative staff at the facility, in partnership with department and college leadership.

The successful applicant will be appointed full-time as a tenure track Associate or Full Professor in the Department of Radiology reporting to the Radiology Department Chair (or jointly with other departments) and a dual report to the CIIGT Governing Board. The anticipated administrative component will range from 30-50%, with expectation that the Director will have an active research program.

Your leadership will be pivotal in:

Establishing and Communicating a Strategic Plan: Develop and implement a forward-thinking strategy that aligns with the University's goals and positions CIIGT as a global leader in imaging and image-guided therapies.

Driving Innovative Research: Oversee and promote groundbreaking research initiatives that push the boundaries of translational imaging, particularly in large animal models and clinical trials.
