Job Details
Interventional Radiology is where advanced imaging, procedural expertise, and life-changing patient care converge. At UVA Health, Interventional Radiology Technologists are critical members of a highly specialized team performing minimally invasive procedures that directly influence outcomes for some of the most complex patients in the region.
This opportunity is designed for technologists who want more than a routine procedural role. Here, you'll work alongside nationally recognized physicians and multidisciplinary teams while advancing your skills in a collaborative academic medical center known for innovation, education, and exceptional patient care.
The Role
As an Interventional Radiology Technologist, you will support a diverse range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in a high-acuity environment where technical expertise, clinical judgment, and teamwork are essential. You will work closely with interventional radiologists, nurses, anesthesia providers, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals to deliver safe, efficient, patient-centered care.
An average day may include:
- Supporting a broad spectrum of vascular and non-vascular interventional procedures, from scheduled cases to emergent interventions.
- Preparing procedure rooms, imaging equipment, and supplies to ensure readiness for complex cases.
- Operating fluoroscopic and advanced imaging systems to provide real-time procedural guidance.
- Maintaining strict standards for radiation safety, sterile technique, and infection prevention.
- Anticipating physician and team needs to promote efficiency and exceptional patient outcomes.
- Educating and supporting patients and families throughout the procedural experience.
- Collaborating across multiple specialties to coordinate care for critically ill and medically complex patients.
- Contributing to quality improvement initiatives and supporting the academic mission through interaction with students, residents, and fellows.
The pace is dynamic, the technology is advanced, and the impact is immediate. Every day brings new clinical challenges, opportunities to expand your expertise, and the ability to make a meaningful difference in patients' lives.

Organization
In 1819, the University of Virginia established a new model for intellectual exchange and cross-disciplinary collaboration in higher education. Two hundred years later, as a major research institution, we continue to challenge conventions, lead with ingenuity and advance knowledge for the common good.
What began as an innovative idea has become one of the nation’s leading public research universities, with over 21,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. UVA also has over 3,000 full-time faculty offering more than 400 degrees.
Each of the University’s eleven schools has its own distinctive mission, working together to garner consistently high rankings—including #2 Best Value Public College (Princeton Review, 2016), #3 Public University in the Nation (U.S. News & World Report, 2016), and #3 Best Value Among Public Colleges (Kiplinger’s, 2016).
As we invest in and strengthen our research capabilities, UVA seeks new faculty ready to uncover new insights, rewrite old rules and collaborate on intellectual discoveries.
RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS THAT CROSS DISCIPLINES
As an R1 institution, the University’s research centers, consortia and laboratories are on the leading edge of discovery and technology, offering collaborative spaces for students and faculty to solve global problems.
Our professors are recognized members of major national scholarly and professional organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Our faculty’s engagement in interdisciplinary research is being facilitated by new research institutes specializing in everything from big data to brain functioning, and by cluster hires across schools.
NATIONALLY RANKED HEALTH SYSTEM
UVA is also home to a nationally renowned academic medical center and the UVA Health System, which serves a three-part mission to treat patients, conduct translational research and train medical practitioners in a wide variety of disciplines.
Established as the nation’s 10th medical school in 1825, the institution has since grown to include a 612-bed hospital and a Level I trauma center, nationally recognized cancer and heart centers, a Children’s Hospital, and primary and specialty clinics throughout Central Virginia.
The UVA Medical Center is consistently ranked among the nation’s best hospitals by the U.S. News & World Report magazine and has been named among the top 25 percent in seven specialties.
INSPIRING STUDENTS, INSPIRED TEACHING
The vast majority of UVA students come from the top 10% of their high school class, as well as from all 50 states, over 142 countries and a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite their diversity, all UVA students share a love of learning and a drive to achieve.
One of the reasons students choose Virginia is our unique residential culture. At UVA, the community of students, faculty and staff personifies the Jeffersonian idea that living and learning are connected. The Academical Village was constructed to support a unique residential experience, with faculty living in the Pavilions, students occupying Lawn rooms and the world-famous Rotunda at its heart. The University’s residential culture continues to support this experience today—strengthened by students, faculty and staff rich in backgrounds, ideas and perspectives. Our unique culture is also paying dividends in innovation: UVA’s faculty have generated more than 130 patents since 2010.
Perhaps most importantly, faculty come to UVA knowing that instruction is as important as research, and they pride themselves on their many teaching awards. Our best professors look for ways to encourage, mentor and develop tomorrow’s leaders inside and outside the classroom.
