The Department of Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine is searching for three full-time Fellows for the Division of Breast Imaging for the 2027-2028 academic year.  

Stanford's Breast Imaging Fellowship provides comprehensive training in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) mammography, diagnostic breast ultrasound, automated whole breast ultrasound, breast MRI, contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) image guided breast biopsies (including CEM-guided biopsy), and image guided breast localizations using wire and wireless techniques.  Our faculty includes internationally known experts in the field.  We offer a robust education series with monthly journal clubs and didactic lectures.  Research time is provided for academic projects.  Ongoing research includes mammography quality and outcomes, MRI novel sequences, device development, artificial intelligence, and tissue biomarkers.

Stanford Breast Imaging provides coverage at two diagnostic sites, and has multiple associated screening locations.  The diagnostic site on Stanford University campus has recently been remodeled to create a state-of-the-art breast imaging patient environment and allow for clinical growth.  Stanford is an NCI-designated Cancer Center, recognized for cancer scientific leadership, resources and research, and ACR Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center (CBIC).

The Fellowship positions will be in the clinical, teaching and service activities of the Breast Imaging Division.  Candidates must have graduated from a certified radiology residency, have a California Medical license, and be American Board of Radiology (ABR) certified or have passed the ABR Core Exam prior to the appointment start date.

Stanford is an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer.  All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.  Stanford also welcomes applications from others who would bring additional dimensions to the University’s research, teaching and clinical missions.
