UPMC Presbyterian is seeking an experienced MRI Technologist Advanced to join our team in an exciting, high-impact role.

This position offers a unique opportunity to support the opening of the brand-new Kamin Tower, featuring a state-of-the-art intra-operative MRI (iMRI) suite. As one of the primary technologists dedicated to this space, you will play a key role in launching and shaping a cutting-edge perioperative imaging service.

Prior to the tower’s opening, you’ll train alongside our established MRI teams at Presbyterian and Montefiore, building strong system-wide collaboration and expertise.

We’re looking for a highly skilled, motivated MRI technologist who thrives in advanced clinical environments and is excited to work at the forefront of surgical imaging. In this role, you’ll work closely with neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, OR nurses, radiologists, and technical teams to deliver real-time, high-quality imaging during complex surgical procedures using the iMRIS intra-operative MRI system.

  • Assist in training staff and students

  • Participate in system-wide standardization initiatives and workgroups

  • Collaborate directly with Radiologists on protocol development

  • Partner with Clinical Specialists on QA, regulatory testing, research, and technical initiatives

This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced MRI technologist who is detail-oriented, confident in advanced imaging operations, and eager to be part of something new and innovative at UPMC Presbyterian.
