Job Details
This opportunity combines breast imaging at UVA Health’s Northridge location with work aboard the Mobile Mammography unit. You’ll have the variety of working across two imaging environments while using your mammography experience to provide high-quality breast imaging and support meaningful community outreach.
The Role As a Mobile Mammography Technologist, you’ll perform breast imaging while working within an established Breast Imaging team and taking mammography services directly into the community. The position offers a distinctive combination of traditional breast imaging and mobile mammography, providing greater variety than a single-location technologist role.
Your work directly supports screening and detection of breast abnormalities while helping UVA Health extend access to imaging services in underserved areas. You’ll interact directly with patients, operate specialized mammography equipment, produce high-quality diagnostic images, and collaborate with colleagues who value teamwork and shared expertise. In this role, you will:
- Perform mammography imaging at UVA Health’s Northridge location.
- Work aboard the Mobile Mammography unit, bringing breast imaging closer to patients in the community.
- Use specialized breast imaging technology to support screening and diagnosis.
- Provide a professional, patient-centered experience during mammography procedures.
- Support community outreach initiatives designed to improve access to breast imaging in underserved areas.
- Work closely with a collaborative Breast Imaging team that shares knowledge and supports one another.
- Move between fixed-site and mobile environments, giving you greater variety than a traditional single-location mammography position. Why UVA Health
At UVA Health, mammography is more than producing an image. It is an opportunity to connect patients with potentially life-changing screening and diagnostic services. This position gives experienced mammography technologists the chance to pair their technical expertise with a mission that extends directly into the community. What makes this opportunity stand out:
- Community impact: Help bring breast imaging services to underserved communities and expand access to important screening services.
- Variety in your work: Divide your experience between breast imaging at Northridge and the Mobile Mammography unit rather than spending every day in a single imaging environment.
- Meaningful patient interaction: Use both your imaging expertise and patient-care skills to help create a supportive mammography experience.
- Collaborative culture: Join a close-knit team where technologists share knowledge, work through challenges together, and support one another.
- Academic health system environment: Practice within UVA Health while contributing to patient care and the broader mission of an academic health system.
- A role with purpose: Take your mammography expertise beyond a conventional imaging setting and help bring breast imaging directly to people in the communities UVA Health serves.

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.
LIFE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE
Living in Charlottesville you’ll find sophisticated restaurants, world-renowned wineries and breweries, cosmopolitan arts and music, friendly urban and suburban neighborhoods and a Piedmont landscape that has lured adventurous souls for centuries. No wonder the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research named Charlottesville the “happiest city in America” in 2014.
In addition to UVA and its health system, several major employers have facilities in Charlottesville, including State Farm, Northrop Grumman, the U.S. Department of Defense, GE and others. Charlottesville is also becoming a center for innovative start-up businesses. The University also actively helps spouses and partners of faculty members build their networks and pursue employment opportunities with a wide variety of area employers.
