Faculty with 12-month service periods are paid for 11 months of service over a 12-month period (July-June), meaning the equivalent of one month is available for paid time off.

This includes mostly routine daytime hours, though some off-hours weekday and weekend clinical coverage may be requested depending on clinical service needs. Depending on the candidate's geographic location, in conjunction with service coverage, there may be flexibility in shifts and hours. All UW faculty engage in teaching, research, and service.

We are a quaternary care, multidisciplinary pediatric hospital with all our exams interpreted by dedicated pediatric radiologists. There are opportunities to subspecialize in various areas that align with individual interests, including nuclear medicine, cardiac, fetal, body, neuroimaging, and musculoskeletal imaging.

This position is incentive eligible through the physicians practice plan, which has historically ranged from about $20,000 - $70,000 with a median of about $45,000 over the past two years, in addition to the base pay. There are also opportunities to perform additional clinical work for extra compensation, receiving a productivity supplement in addition to the aforementioned base salary and incentive pay.
