Are you a scientifically driven communicator with a passion for radiology? This field-based Medical Science Liaison (MSL) role supports the rollout of innovative imaging products across the Midwest and Great Lakes region. You'll build and expand relationships with key radiologists and thought leaders, deliver impactful scientific education, and serve as a critical bridge between cutting-edge clinical data and real-world application. With responsibilities spanning conference representation, advisory board collaboration, and clinical education, your expertise will help shape the future of radiological practice.
This position is ideal for professionals with a strong background in science, PharmD, PhD, MD, or equivalent, who bring 3-4 years of radiology or medical affairs experience. While prior MSL experience is valuable, candidates from adjacent therapeutic areas are welcome if they're eager to grow in this niche space. You'll travel up to 50% (mostly local, minimal overnights) to engage directly with customers and healthcare providers. If you thrive on collaboration, clinical strategy, and scientific exchange, this is a high-impact opportunity to make your mark.
