    Good health care is key to a good life.

    At Banner Health, we understand that, and that's why we work hard every day to make a difference in people's lives.

    Do you like the idea of making a positive change in people's lives - and your own? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

    The Banner Alzheimer's Institute is a Center of Excellence within the Banner Health system. The Center specializes in evaluating and treating patients with memory disorders and various types of neurodegenerative diseases.

    Additionally, the Center has a large portfolio of research studies that includes dozens of pharmaceutical sponsored trials and several federally and State funded observational research trials.

    Our Center employs a team of individuals that are focused on the mission of ...'ending Alzheimer's disease without losing another generation.

    The MRI and PET imaging departments within the Banner Alzheimer's Institute support these numerous research studies by providing specialized brain imaging procedures to both our clinical patients as well as research volunteers.

    Our unique radiopharmaceutical production facility provides investigational PET tracers to many of these research studies.

    This position will support PET imaging technologists, by conducting PET scanning that primarily supports our research imaging studies.

    These studies mostly involve PET brain scans for detection and measure of amyloid plaques and tau protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

    While some PET scans will use typical radiotracers such as FDG, most will use investigational radiotracers produced on site at BAI.

    This is a part time position. Typical workdays are expected to be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays from 9 am to 5pm, depending on research demand. It is likely that this position would evolve to a 32-hour position within the next year or two.

    Your pay and benefits (Total Rewards) are important components of your Journey at Banner Health. Banner Health offers a variety of benefit plans to help you and your family.

    We provide health and financial security options, so you can focus on being the best at what you do and enjoying your life.
