Description:
The Department of Medical Imaging at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC) and the Department of Medical Imaging, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto are recruiting a fellowship-trained Vascular and Interventional Radiologist to join a team of four similarly trained physicians. The successful candidate will have an academic position description of Clinician-Investigator and must be eligible for a full-time clinical academic appointment at the rank of Lecturer, Assistant Professor, or Associte Professor at the University of Toronto. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2026.
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is a fully affiliated teaching hospital of the University of Toronto and a national leader in complex care. Major clinical programs include Trauma (home to Canada’s first and largest trauma centre), Oncology through the Odette Cancer Centre, Cardiovascular Sciences, Aging and Veterans Care, Women and Babies, Orthopedics and Arthritis, and Neurosciences. The Vascular and Interventional Radiology (VIR) Division plays a central role in supporting these programs, as well as Sunnybrook’s high-volume Nephrology and Thromboembolism services.
VIR procedural practice at Sunnybrook is broad, with a strong emphasis on trauma and oncologic interventions. The successful candidate will work across relevant modalities, which can include embolization of pelvic and solid organ injuries. Oncologic interventions focus on regional cancer therapies, including thermal ablation of liver, kidney, and lung tumors; chemoembolization (DEBIRI, DEBDOX, and cTACE); bland embolization; and radioembolization. Additional procedural areas include complex biliary and gastrointestinal interventions, genitourinary procedures, venous and arterial thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, dialysis access interventions, and women’s and fertility-related procedures (uterine fibroid embolization, gonadal vein embolization), vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and venous access. Peripheral arterial work is performed but is not a primary focus of the division. Diagnostic responsibilities include non-neuro CTA and MRA, as well as post procedural follow up.
Image-guided therapy is a strategic institutional priority at Sunnybrook and offers substantial opportunities for clinical, translational, and outcomes-based research.
This position is a hybrid clinical and research appointment with protected research time. Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to research, with evidence of scholarly productivity. Advanced research training, ideally a PhD or equivalent, is strongly preferred; however, candidates with a robust and sustained research portfolio will also be considered.
Applicants must hold an MD or equivalent, be Board-certified or Board-eligible in Diagnostic Imaging from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or an equivalent international qualification, and have completed a minimum of two years of fellowship training in Vascular and Interventional Radiology. They must be eligible for medical licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
The department is equipped with three angiography suites, including two Philips Allura FD20 systems with XperCT/XperGuide capabilities and one Philips Allura FD20/10 biplane system upgraded with Clarity. A fourth biplane angiography suite has been purchased and is expected to be operational in 2027. In addition, a hybrid operating room equipped with a single-plane Philips Azurion system supports combined surgical and interventional procedures, primarily for polytrauma patients requiring pelvic embolization.
Academic rank and remuneration will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Compensation is based on a fee-for-service model. The estimated income range is $350,000 - 500,000 per annum for a full-time equivalent with opportunity for increased salary commensurate with experience and academic credentials.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references to:
Dr. Sean Symons, Radiologist-in-Chief, Department of Medical Imaging
c/o Kimberly Wong, Executive Assistant, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Room MG-161, 2075 Bayview Avenue Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4N 3M5
