Seattle Children’s is a 407 bed medical regional center; over 136,000 pediatric imaging examinations per year are performed across all modalities within the Hospital and associated outpatient clinics. Successful applicants will join our 6 current full time pediatric interventional radiologists (2 of whom are similarly pediatric/adult hybrid faculty), 8 advanced practice providers (APPs), and 30 pediatric diagnostic radiology faculty members, participating in the ongoing education of IR residents, pediatric radiology fellows, and diagnostic radiology residents. The institution is committed to clinical and research excellence, and pediatric interventional radiologists are encouraged and supported in clinical and basic research efforts. Compensation and fringe benefits are competitive.
